Partnerships American DG Helps Club Fit Go Green
Club Fit in Jefferson Valley, New York, a premier health and fitness facility with a sister location in Briarcliff, New York, recently selected American DG Energy, Inc. (ADGE), to be its provider of clean energy. The Massachusetts-based energy com- pany offers clean electricity, heat, hot water, and cooling solutions via a 100-kilowatt combined heat and power (CHP) cogeneration system, which will be owned and operated by (ADGE). Club Fit will receive a discount on the energy produced by the CHP system and
reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by up to 367 tons per year. The club will pay only for the energy used by the facility, avoiding all capital, installation, and operating costs. The new system offers considerable environmental benefits when compared to purchased electricity and on-site-generated heat from a boiler system. By capturing and utilizing heat that would otherwise be wasted from the production of electricity, CHP systems require less fuel than equivalent separate heat and power systems to produce the same amount of energy.—|
