Services
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
We provide full services for CHP energy solutions that optimize performance and reduce environmental impact
Combined heat and power (CHP), or cogeneration, is a smart, efficient way to meet both electrical and thermal energy needs from a single fuel source. At Salas O’Brien, we partner with clients to design CHP systems that lower energy costs, improve reliability, and support sustainability goals. Our team brings deep technical expertise and a collaborative, solutions-focused approach—whether we’re supporting a new build or upgrading existing infrastructure. The result is a CHP system that works seamlessly with your operations and delivers long-term value.

What we can offer
From initial consultation to full specification and construction facilitation, we offer a complete array of design services, including the development of advanced and often groundbreaking solutions when conventional approaches can’t deliver quality results.
Feasibility studies and energy modeling to assess CHP potential
Salas O’Brien evaluates the technical and economic viability of CHP for your facility, using energy modeling to project performance, savings, and emissions impact, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Integrated mechanical, electrical, and thermal system design
Salas O’Brien’s multidisciplinary team of engineers creates systems that work together seamlessly—designing for efficiency, safety, and scalability. We tailor each solution to your specific operational needs and site constraints.
Fuel source evaluation, emissions analysis, and utility coordination
Salas O’Brien can help you navigate choices around fuel type, analyze environmental impacts, and coordinate with utility providers to support interconnection, compliance, and incentives.
Energy modeling
Energy modeling provides a clear view of how a building, campus, or district will perform—before construction begins and throughout its lifecycle. By simulating system performance, energy use, thermal comfort, Salas O’Brien turns complex data into insights that help you choose the smartest path forward. Learn more.
Engineering for reliability, redundancy, and peak performance
Salas O’Brien designs CHP systems that are built to last—factoring in load fluctuations, maintenance access, and fail-safes to keep your facility running when it matters most.
Retrofit solutions and system optimization for existing facilities
Whether you’re upgrading legacy systems or expanding capabilities, Salas O’Brien develops retrofit strategies that improve performance, integrate with existing infrastructure, and minimize downtime.
Support through funding strategies, construction, and commissioning
Salas O’Brien stays with you through the full lifecycle of the project—helping identify incentives, collaborating during construction, and supporting a smooth commissioning process to deliver on your energy goals.
