• The CHP group raises awareness and disseminates knowledge about both the technical and economic aspects of CHP including both conventional equipment and new developments such as fuel cells and micro CHP.  
• Membership is open to any building professional - you will get a free e-newsletter plus access to CHP information and events

MISSION STATEMENT
To increase the awareness of the potential benefits of CHP and encourage members to consider CHP as a matter of course.

Benefits of CHP in buildings:

• Lower energy costs - In cost effective schemes, the electricity cost savings substantially outweigh any increase in fossil fuel costs.
• Increased security of supply - Where the CHP unit is set up to operate in island mode when the mains supply fails, CHP provides a major improvement to the security of electricity supply.
• Environmental benefits - The reduced CO₂ emissions from CHP help in the fight against global warming.
