Overview
Ontario Rec Center Saves Money with CHP
Vergent partnered with the local utility company to provide the Town of Whitby with a microturbine CHP system.
Two Capstone C65 Microturbines were installed at the Whitby Civic Recreation Complex (CRC) to supply electricity, hot water and heating for the facility. The municipally-operated complex is a 54,000-square-foot facility that includes a health club, fitness studio, and two pools.
The energy generated by the turbines is used to offset the electricity demand of the building, resulting in nearly $70,000 in annual savings.
