CHP Saves Lives: A Case Study of CHP on a Toronto Hospital Campus

This presentation will be based upon a recently-completed energy project at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which has implemented CHP as an energy reduction and resiliency improvement project. There were energy-related challenges which lead to the project and the specific regulatory, environmental and permitting requirements . There were key technical elements which were integrated to address these challenges, in particular the presentation will focus on how the 8 MW CHP was integrated with 8 MW of existing diesel generators and the campus’ existing steam system to greatly improve the campus’ energy supply resiliency. The goal of the presentation is to leave attendees with ideas for improving the energy supply resiliency.
