The Midwest CHP Application Center was established in March 2001 for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Energy Resources Center (ERC). The Center is a partnership between UIC/ERC and the Gas Technology Institute (GTI). Its mission is to provide application assistance, technology information, and educational support in the eight Midwest states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The mission of the Midwest CHP Application center is to: 1) reduce perceived CHP risks by architects and engineering companies, energy services companies, and building owners; and 2) foster CHP systems as viable, technical, financial, environmental, and energy efficient options. The focus of the Center is to establish a solid three-prong approach to assist the professional community to rapidly and successfully apply integrated CHP systems by providing: educational materials, including a Web site and accredited training classes; engineering tool kits, including case studies and application screening tools; and engineering project support, including technical advice and preliminary design and assessment services.
