ETHOS™ (Energy, Thermal, and Heat Optimization Services) is Green CHP’s comprehensive engineering services architecture for designing high-performance, energy-efficient systems in commercial, industrial, and community-scale environments. Purpose-built for facilities where hot water, heat, and thermal loads drive operations, ETHOS delivers customized, technology-agnostic solutions that optimize infrastructure, reduce emissions, and improve lifecycle economics.From initial assessment through final system design, ETHOS supports clients with data-driven engineering that accounts for real-world variables—usage patterns, infrastructure constraints, capital budgets, and regulatory demands. Each engagement begins with a rigorous feasibility and financial analysis, ensuring every recommendation is backed by performance modeling and a clear business case.
Unlike traditional consultants who deliver static reports, or one-size-fits-all ESCOs that push pre-packaged solutions, ETHOS is engineered to deliver smarter outcomes through strategic, site-specific design. We don’t lead with products—we lead with purpose: understanding how your facility uses energy, where value is lost, and how tailored infrastructure can unlock performance, savings, and sustainability. Our approach is hands-on, data-informed, and built to solve real operational challenges.
“We help customers maximize energy performance, reduce capital and operational costs, and unlock new value through better design and data. Our model offers the flexibility to integrate everything from heat recovery to hydrogen readiness while building a strong business case rooted in ROI and operational resilience.”
ETHOS was designed to be both powerful and practical—giving you access to expert engineering at a cost that aligns with your business case.
Commercial and mid-sized facilities in the 250 kW to 25 MW range, delivering feasibility studies, thermal-electric load modeling, and conceptual system design—ideal for operations like hotels, hospitals, laundries, and food processors seeking actionable insights and investment-grade analysis.
Larger-scale systems between 25 MW and 250 MW, including multi-technology system architecture, CAPEX/OPEX optimization, interconnection planning, and lifecycle engineering—well-suited for industrial manufacturers, municipal utilities, campuses, managing complex energy infrastructure.
ETHOS is purpose-built for organizations where energy isn’t just a line item — it’s a mission-critical input. From commercial buildings to industrial campuses, we specialize in designing custom energy systems for operations that rely on heat, hot water, and continuous uptime. Our projects typically range from 250 kW to 250 MW, with flexible architecture that scales to your site’s specific needs.
Commercial operations like hotels, hospitals, laundries, and food processors—facilities where hot water is used continuously and often accounts for a significant share of total energy costs—can benefit greatly from tailored thermal system design. By optimizing how hot water is heated, stored, and distributed, ETHOS helps these businesses reduce fuel consumption, lower utility bills, and increase operational efficiency, all while supporting sustainability goals and improving system reliability.
Cities, universities, and multi-facility campuses often face the challenge of managing outdated infrastructure, rising energy costs, and growing demands for sustainability and resiliency. ETHOS supports these institutions by designing centralized thermal-electric systems—often including district energy, microgrids, or distributed generation—that efficiently serve multiple buildings from a common infrastructure. ETHOS helps municipal and educational leaders modernize their energy systems for long-term performance and flexibility.
Manufacturers and industrial operators face unique pressures: high thermal loads, 24/7 uptime requirements, and increasingly aggressive emissions mandates. Whether producing pharmaceuticals, metals, packaging, or food at scale, these facilities require engineered systems that can reliably deliver heat and power. ETHOS designs energy architectures that integrate waste heat recovery, hybrid fuel systems, and process-specific load modeling to cut operational costs, support ESG compliance, and create a roadmap for decarbonization without disrupting production.
Green and blue hydrogen developers, as well as clean energy campuses, often struggle with integrating thermal systems and maximizing electrolyzer efficiency. ETHOS brings a system-wide perspective to hydrogen design—incorporating Green CHP’s proprietary Thermal Hydrogen Synthesis (THS) methodology to capture waste heat, improve power-to-gas ratios, and reduce overall system inefficiencies. Our tech-agnostic, site-specific designs also consider grid interactivity, storage needs, and scalability.
