WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen^® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), provider of clean energy products which, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint, is pleased to announce that Co-Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Locke will be a featured speaker on a panel discussion at the CHP Association's Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Conference.

Taking place at Nationals Park in Washington DC on September 14, 2016, this year's event will focus on current challenges and opportunities for combined heat and power, especially within the utility model. Mr. Locke will be speaking on an afternoon panel discussion entitled "CHP and Multifamily Housing" with the discussion focusing on the benefits of CHP use for multi-family housing and promotion of its deployment for this segment of the market.

"Building resiliency and energy efficiency are big concerns for customers in the multi-family residential segment and those trends are only getting more pronounced. Our new InVerde e+, launched this spring, is really resonating with the multi-family residential customer by offering a two-for-one solution that solves both these problems," Mr. Locke noted.

The CHP Association brings together diverse market interests to promote the growth of clean, efficient, local energy generation in the United States. Established in 1996 to promote the merits of combined heat and power, the Association's mission is to increase deployment of CHP and waste energy recovery systems to benefit the environment and the economy.
