As Beacon Capital\u2019s experience at its Rockefeller Center-adjacent tower, 1211 Avenue of the Americas, demonstrates, energy efficiency further improves if waste heat from fuel cell energy generation is captured in a combined heat and power (CHP) configuration. Waste heat from the building’s UTC Power-supplied fuel cell is used to make hot water for News Corp.\u2019s fitness center and cafeteria, as space heating for the Fox News division\u2019s street-level studios and the building lobby during the winter months, and for bathrooms in the lower portion of the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe heat we recover provides significant value; without it the economics would be far less attractive,\u201d pointed out Al Scaramelli, the senior vice president overseeing Beacon’s energy and sustainability projects. \u201cSo we are looking (at additional installations) primarily at locations where we have considerable demand for hot water year-round\u201d\u2014including multi-tenant properties.<\/p>\n

Logically, CHP-configured fuel cells pencil out particularly well in the hospitality sector, given the heavy use of hot water for showers as well as laundry facilities, pools\/spas and dishwashers. For instance, owners of San Diego\u2019s historic 131-key Lafayette Hotel installed a 40-kilowatt fuel cell from ClearEdge Power that meets about 45 percent of the low-rise property\u2019s energy needs and lower its carbon footprint by an estimated 40-plus percent.<\/p>\n
