Carbon Neutral Design Strategies:

Strategies: #3 - Use Renewable Energy - Combined Heat and Power

#3 - USE RENEWABLE ENERGY - Combined Heat and Power

Combined Heat and Power plants have become a very effective means of providing both heat and electricity for a range of scales of projects. This would include installations on a larger community scale that can serve to power a number of homes.
