WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen^® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) today announced the sale and posted a video on the Company's website describing the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance program of two Tecogen Ultra CM-75^® combined heat and power (CHP) units at Worcester Polytechnic Institute's (WPI) Gateway and Life Sciences Building and Campus Center.

The video features Bill Spratt, WPI's Director of Facilities and Operations describing the project. The two Tecogen systems are generating power and heat that offsets 30% of the building's energy use, significantly reducing greenhouse emissions and cutting criteria pollutants, the compounds contributing to smog.
