ICHPA Online CHP Calculator

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.
