Energy Assessments Using the BCHP Screening Tool

Although the BCHP Screening Tool was developed for evaluations of combined
cooling, heating, and power systems in commercial buildings, the BCHPSc tool
has become the analysis tool of choice for ORNL building energy field analysts,
not only for CHP systems but for many building ECMs.

Some initial training material has been developed to show how the BCHPsc tool
is used for ECM analysis, and those interested can download both a presentation
(Power Point) on one example of ECM calculations and results, as well as the
BCHPsc input file (settings file) used to generate the results presented.
