This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

The main driver behind Energy Conversation is sustainability of the built environment. While existing design techniques employ a variety of efficiency technologies, buildings will still require energy. Many experts agree that no-Carbon combustion technologies, like CHP, will be necessary for the future electric grid. Today, CHP extends the design options to encompass energy supply, allowing designers more reach in terms of Energy Conservation. This seminar will look at CHP developments that allow integration of renewable energy, examine the life-cycle impact of CHP, and delve into no-carbon fuels that can be employed through highly efficient CHP to power the built environment.
