A Survey of Total Energy in the United States and Canada <xref rid="FN1" ref-type="fn">*</xref>

Total energy systems are being installed increasingly in office and industrial buildings, schools, and shopping centers. This paper surveys existing systems, including operating data, distribution, and types of installations.

Several recent equipment developments are mentioned, including a completely packaged engine-generator set heat recovery modules, sets of two or more turbine alternator modules for continuous-duty precise power requirements (such as computers), complete turn-key plants, and installations combining steam and gas turbines.
