Let’s face it—the Earth is warming, the climate is changing, and much of the blame can be put on human activity. Industrialization in the 1800s kickstarted an upward trend of carbon emissions into the atmosphere that has yet to see a significant decline. But just as humans started down this destructive path, people and businesses can also choose to embrace more sustainable energy solutions for the future. In this blog, we will uncover what the green energy of tomorrow looks like and how energy-efficient combined heat and power (CHP) systems will continue to play an important role in reducing carbon emissions.

If you’re conscious of energy efficiency and conservation measures, you likely know that certain sources are much “cleaner” than others. For example, burning oil does a lot more harm to the environment than harnessing wind or nuclear energy. You may also assume that the electricity you get from the traditional grid is always generated the same way, which couldn’t be further from the truth. In this blog, we’ll explain the process of “peaking” and the ways you can use combined heat and power (CHP) to reduce your reliance on the dirty grid while you improve your bottom line.

Flipping on a light switch takes less than a second—but have you ever thought about what it took for that energy to make its way to you? Electricity is something many of us take for granted, but when that energy is created by a traditional central power plant and sent over a network, some of that power is lost before it can reach its destination. In this blog, we will uncover the facts behind the energy loss that occurs when power plants transmit and distribute electricity, and why an onsite combined heat and power (CHP) system is more energy efficient.

When considering green energy, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Most people might say renewable sources such as wind and solar; not a system that runs on natural gas. But that’s what makes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unique—despite its source, the U.S. Department of Energy recognizes it as part of the green energy solution that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to your facility’s sustainability goals. In this blog, we’ll explain how.

Summertime, time to sit back and unwind. It is also the season that aggravates many electrical issues taking away from fun in the sun. Increased demand, storm-related outages, power surges, blackouts and brownouts can all affect the supply of electricity.

In the last six years, three severe weather events—Superstorm Sandy and Hurricanes Harvey and Maria—caused widespread damage and left millions of residents without power during and after the storms for a long duration of time. When Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico on September 16, 2017, it was the second-largest recorded power outage in the world. But even smaller storms that produced 4 tornadoes in Connectict in May 2018 left many businesses without power for a week.

When it comes to selecting which of the 24,000 New York City restaurants to dine in, many locals have come to rely on the city’s Restaurant Grades system. Derived and maintained by the Health Department, the grading system reflects inspection scores: the lower the score, the lower the grade, which correlates to how the inspector perceived safe food handling, food temperature, personal hygiene and vermin control.
