Triptych will generate its own heat and electricity through a process called co-generation, another strategy aimed at reducing both body corporate costs and carbon emissions.
A gas fired turbine will generate the majority of the electricity required to meet the common area energy needs. The by-product of this generation is heat, and this heat is used to warm the Village spaces, the pool, and to supplement the domestic hot water supply.
Micro-generation at Triptych involves the use of a small gas fired engine to produce electricity for the building. The major waste product from this process is heat, which is recycled to provide heating to the building. Overall, the co-generation system can considerably reduce the energy costs and lower carbon emissions.
