Cleaner electricity?
Released on - 7/12/2010 6:37:48 PM
The French engineering group Alstom has established a steam turbine, gas turbine and turbo-generator production facility in Chattanooga (Tennessee). This facility is specifically for the North American nuclear and fossil fuel electricity generation market. The site is equipped with balancing equipment allowing the manufacture of the biggest turbines in the world, with a capacity of 1,700 MW.
The new site was designed to obtain the Gold certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the North American benchmark system for outstandingly environment-friendly buildings. Skylights allow for a considerable reduction in the consumption of electricity for lighting. The heat generated by these skylights is used to enhance the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
