Welcome to the Irish
CHP Association's Online CHP Evaluation Tool.
This tool is very simple to use and will give
a reasonable indication of the feasibility (and
payback time) of a CHP solution. To benefit you
will need to have a reasonable estimate of site
energy consumption and costs as well as site operating
hours. None of the information inputted is retained
so the evaluation tool can be used in complete
confidentiality. You do not need absolutely precise
data to benefit from the calculator simply input
the best site information you have actual or estimated.
