When the local power grid goes down, commercial buildings should have systems in place that provide resilience, mitigate against financial losses, protect life safety, provide vital services, or any combination of these goals. This webinar covers this important topic, exploring the performance, financial benefits, and environmental motivations for incorporating propane-powered technologies (i.e. cooling, combined heat & power [CHP], standby and prime power generation).
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize what it means for commercial buildings to continue operations during power outages - becoming less dependent on the electrical grid, integrating on-site power generation and exploring common and alternative technology options used for key building systems like power, heating and cooling.
- Review the impacts of power outages, the frequency of outages, and explain both the safety and sustainability-based motivations driving commercial businesses to utilize alternative energy sources for key building systems and backup power.
- Examine available proven propane technologies which utilize clean, dependable, and efficient site-based energy.
- Identify the environmental and resiliency benefits of propane for backup power, heating and cooling including grid avoidance, redundancy and site-based advantages.
