## New research center calls for CHP expansion, cogeneration at medical school in Massachusetts

To provide a universal resource for students, a Massachusetts-based medical school unveiled a new 512,000 research center. The facility would be a universal resource for students and staff alike.

But because these spaces would grow its electric generation by 7.5 MW, cooling capacity by 4,000 tons and thermal capacity by 60,000 lbs/hr, its existing power plant no longer sufficed.

The project required a cogeneration system that would allow the CHP facility to handle this energy output in a cost-efficient manner.

Veolia's energy consulting group, SourceOne, was selected to provide project management and technical assistance to expand the school's existing CHP facility.
