BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL
Boston, MA
Waldron Engineering & Construction, Inc. was contracted to do a study for Brigham and
Women’s Hospital (BWH) to evaluate the feasibility and economic value of installing a
Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) in theit new Brigham’s Building for the Future
(BBF). The primary purpose for the CHP is to provide operational cost savings to the
hospital and a level of resiliency to serve the energy needs of the facility. In addition to
studying various CHP technologies, including combustion turbine generator and recipro-
cating engine generators, Waldron appraised the value of supplying electrical and thermal
which is part of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital campus.
Upon identifying that a 4 MW reciprocating engine based CHP was the optimal size and
technology to serve the two buildings, Waldron executed the detailed design of the entire
central energy plant. The building is expected to be occupied in late spring 2016.
