The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), the largest and most active state-supported renewable energy and energy efficiency research, training, testing and certification institute in the United States. An institute of the University of Central Florida (UCF), FSEC functions as the state's energy research, training and certification center. FSEC is located on a 20-acre research complex on Florida's Space Coast at UCF's Cocoa Campus, 35 miles east of Orlando. Our online building tour lets you see and read about many of the attributes that make our offices (photo at left) one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world. Check out the Online Publications section for copies of our most popular articles, research publications and technical manuals, along with a number of Frequently Asked Questions, to help you learn about ways to use solar energy technologies to save energy in your home or building.

Thermally-Activated Machines

Thermally activated machines are based on technologies that primarily use thermal energy, preferably heat from the exhaust gases of power generation equipment, instead of electric energy for providing heating, cooling, or humidity control for buildings. There are two primary candidates for thermally-activated machines for application in CHP systems: Absorption chillers Desiccant dehumidifiers

A New Perspective on Energy Integrated systems for cooling, heating and power (CHP) for buildings incorporate multiple technologies for providing energy services to a single building or to a campus of buildings. Electricity to such buildings is provided by on-site or near-site power generators using one or more of the many options: internal combustion (IC) engines, combustion turbines, miniturbines or microturbines, and fuel cells. In CHP systems, waste heat from power generation equipment is recovered for operating equipment for cooling, heating, or controlling humidity in buildings, by using absorption chillers, desiccant dehumidifiers, or heat recovery equipment for producing steam or hot water. These integrated systems are known by a variety of acronyms: CHP, CHPB (Cooling, Heating and Power for Buildings), CCHP (Combined Cooling Heating and Power), BCHP (Buildings Cooling, Heating and Power), and IES (Integrated Energy Systems).

U.S. Green Building Council

www.usgbc.org The U.S. Green Building Council is the nation’s foremost coalition of leaders from across the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. What is the U.S. Green Building Council? The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is leading a national consensus for producing a new generation of buildings that deliver high performance inside and out. Council members work together to develop LEED™ products and resources, the Greenbuild annual International Conference and Expo, policy guidance, and educational and marketing tools that support the adoption of sustainable building. Members also forge strategic alliances with key industry and research organizations and federal, state and local government agencies to transform the built environment.
