| Abstract: | The Brent Council aims to further increase the energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the CCHP biofuel engine powering the Brent Civic Centre. Under the supervision of the Council’s Energy Manager, Anís Robinson, we, the WPI project team, have analysed the Council’s existing data regarding the engine and the Civic Centre’s energy consumption to determine best-use cases for the engine. We have developed deliverable tools for the Council to facilitate future cost-benefit and energy-saving analyses regarding the operation of the CCHP. | |
