Micro-CHP
BDR Thermea's micro-CHP (Combined Heat and Power) solutions simultaneously generate heat and electricity providing an effective and innovative way of meeting Code Level 3. BDR Thermea's micro-CHP dual energy system boiler - the Baxi Ecogen - is proven to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40% and can reduce homeowners' bills by up to £600 per annum.
What is micro-CHP?
Our grid electricity is generated by large, remote power stations which every year waste enough energy to heat most of our buildings. This huge waste of energy results in very inefficient and very expensive grid supplied electricity. Micro-Combined Heat and Power is the simultaneous generation of principally electricity, and also of heat, close to the point of use. By locating micro-CHP equipment in or close to a building, the electricity generated and the heat produced can be used in the building with no energy wastage.
Carbon saving technology
Micro-CHP is a key microgeneration technology which can deliver carbon savings of 20%-30%. It is a mature, reliable technology which delivers very attractive financial benefits and can play a big part in gaining compliance with planning and Building Regulations.
The Baxi Ecogen can satisfy up to two thirds of a typical household's electrical requirements with the householder receiving 10p/kWh for all electricity generated under the Government's Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme.
For larger projects, such as apartments and multi-tenanted accommodation, the DACHS™ mini-CHP unit produces 12.5kW thermal output and 5.5kW of electricity, offering substantial carbon and economic savings.
