Distributed Energy Installation for Residential Housing
Eight CHP systems bringing distributed on-site energy generation to multi-unit residential communities in Baltimore.
Baltimore Housing Authority · Baltimore, Maryland
Executive Summary
RV Sinkler is designing and installing eight 35 kW Combined Heat & Power systems across multi-unit residential complexes for the Baltimore Housing Authority, bringing distributed, on-site energy generation to urban public housing. The project pairs each complex's existing thermal demand with right-sized CHP capacity, improving energy efficiency while adding a layer of resiliency for residents who depend on these buildings for heat, hot water and reliable power. RV Sinkler is providing technical oversight throughout commissioning, ensuring each installation meets applicable local energy-code and utility-interconnection standards as it comes online.
Right-Sized Distributed Energy
This project is not simply an equipment installation. The engineering approach matches CHP capacity with the existing thermal requirements of each residential complex, so generation is sized around how the buildings actually consume energy.
