WALTHAM, Mass., March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen^® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) today announced the sale of two InVerde^® Ultra, INV-100, combined heat and power (CHP) systems to a 45 story, all-suite hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The units will cut annual energy costs by an estimated $118,000 and through Tecogen's patented low emissions system, Ultra, nearly eliminate the production of criteria pollutants and compounds contributing to smog. The units will also provide the hotel with emergency back-up power.
