Vintage of Awards
As of 2004, awards are dated with the calendar year in which they are evaluated and awarded by EPA. That is, most awards are dated with the current calendar year. Because awards recognize contemporary performance, it is required that data submitted with the applications cover periods within the 14 months preceding the application.
ENERGY STAR® CHP Award
EPA awards the ENERGY STAR® CHP Award to leaders who increase the nation's electric generation efficiency through the development of highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) projects.
The ENERGY STAR CHP Award recognizes projects that require at least 5 percent less fuel than state-of-the-art separate heat and power generation.
There is no deadline for submitting award applications. We accept and process applications continuously and present awards at key events, such as our CHP Partners meeting or other Partner events. CHP award winners will be presented with a plaque recognizing the project's energy and environmental excellence. CHP award recognition might also include highlighting winners on EPA's Web site and in press releases and case study materials.
Additional information and application materials are available on the CHP Awards page.
EPA Combined Heat & Power Partnership International CHP Award
EPA's CHP Partnership has created a new award to recognize its Partners' highly efficient international CHP projects. Details on the 2008 CHP Partnership International CHP Award winner can be found on the International CHP Awards page.
The process for submitting applications for the 2009 award will be announced in January 2009.
Communication Opportunities
EPA's CHP Partnership provides a variety of opportunities for Partners to share their knowledge, showcase their CHP projects, and educate others. Opportunities include:
- Presenting at conferences and workshops with EPA's CHP Partnership
- Submitting an article to the CHP Partnership for inclusion in our monthly Partner e-mail
- Submitting an article to the CHP Partnership for inclusion in the annual Partnership Update
If you are interested in showcasing any of your CHP projects through these or other venues provided by the CHP Partnership or would like informational assistance to support your own outreach efforts, please contact the Partnership at chp@epa.gov or (703) 373-8108.
CHP Partners' Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Report
Partners commit to reporting any CHP-related projects on an annual basis. Any CHP projects completed in the previous calendar year will be included in a GHG Reduction Report sent out to all partners annually. The GHG Reduction Report is a frameable, color certificate that shows the carbon reductions associated with all of the Partners' projects, as well as the equivalent benefits in terms of acres of trees planted and car emissions avoided. Partners can use this certificate for public relations purposes, to promote the environmental benefits of their work to external stakeholders, or to publicize the benefits of their work in their annual reports or corporate environmental sustainability reports. Report your data here!
CHP Partners List
EPA's CHP Partnership lists all current Partners on our Web site with information about their companies/organizations, as well as links to their CHP-related Web pages or project-specific case studies (if applicable). Make sure your company information is up-to-date!
CHP Partnership Logo
Partners may include EPA's CHP Partnership logo (shown below) in sales, marketing, and advertising materials. The CHP Partnership logo can help highlight the environmental aspects of your business. The logo is available in a variety of electronic formats but must be used in accordance with EPA's logo use guidelines.
EPA's CHP Partner Certificate
When a new Partner joins the CHP Partnership, it receives a welcome kit with program information, as well as a certificate acknowledging its commitment to CHP and value to the Partnership.
