Tecogen Sells InVerde Cogeneration System to New York Residential Building

WALTHAM, MA, April 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient and clean on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce the sale of an InVerde e+ cogeneration system to a large residential building under construction in Brooklyn, New York.  The system will provide 125 kW of onsite power for the building with the cogenerated heat used for domestic hot water for residents.  Once the InVerde e+ cogeneration system is installed, it will be serviced from Tecogen’s Brooklyn, NY service center.  

“Engineering our InVerde e+ into the building design is the most cost-effective way to incorporate the energy savings and resiliency of our system,” noted Jeffrey Glick, Vice President of East Coast Sales.  “In this case the building will be seeking a LEED Silver sustainability rating and Tecogen worked closely with the building’s engineering team to maximize the energy savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from our cogeneration system – which are important factors in obtaining the LEED certification.” 

The InVerde e+ provides significant GHG reductions when compared to power obtained from the grid and hot water from a typical boiler.  It is expected that this building will reduce its GHG footprint in excess of 170 metric tons/year, allowing the building to avoid substantial fines that may be assessed on buildings that fail to meet prescribed GHG reduction goals under New York City’s Local Law 97 which requires GHG reductions of 25% by 2024 and 40% by 2030.  

 “The project developer and engineering team involved with this project previously installed a Tecogen cogeneration system in a similar residential building in New York that has been running as expected for over three years, resulting in an estimated GHG reduction of 400 metric tons in addition to significant energy cost savings,” noted Benjamin Locke, Tecogen’s CEO.  “Our InVerde cogeneration system offers buildings like these both tremendous economic and environmental benefits as well as the added benefit of resiliency to grid outages.”
