Cogeneration & Energy Efficiency Systems in Alberta & BC

Reduce Operating Costs. Reclaim Wasted Energy. Improve System Efficiency.

At LSM, we help commercial and light industrial clients take control of rising energy costs with advanced cogeneration systems, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) solutions. By capturing waste heat and transforming it into usable energy, cogeneration increases efficiency, lowers emissions, and reduces reliance on the grid.

Whether you operate a manufacturing plant, a care facility, a swimming pool complex, or a remote site, LSM delivers turnkey cogeneration planning, design, and installation across Alberta and British Columbia.

What Is Cogeneration?

Cogeneration is a system that combines electricity production with heat recovery. Instead of releasing waste heat into the atmosphere, our systems capture and repurpose it using boilers or heat exchangers, enabling efficient heating or hot water generation.

Compared to traditional setups, cogeneration can improve system efficiency by up to 50%, while also supporting behind-the-meter energy independence.

Key Benefits of Cogeneration

Reduces total energy consumption

Lowers utility and demand costs

Cuts carbon emissions and supports ESG goals

Provides reliable power and heat

Offers ROI for high-usage facilities

Reduces load on public grids during peak demand

Enables development in grid-deficient or off-grid locations

Who Benefits from Cogeneration?

Cogeneration is ideal for businesses and facilities that need continuous electricity and heat. It’s especially suited for:

Common Applications

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Heat Pump Systems

As part of our integrated energy solutions, LSM also offers natural gas-powered VRF heat pump systems. These units deliver superior energy efficiency and climate performance throughout the year, even in extreme Alberta temperatures.

Why Choose a VRF System?

Operates with 1/10th the energy of traditional electric compressors

Heat recovery from engine operation boosts efficiency

Maintains performance from -45°C to +40°C

Exceeds 130% total system efficiency

Ideal for multi-zone commercial buildings

Significantly lowers annual operating costs

These systems are ideal for clients who need low-emission, high-output HVAC solutions in demanding environments.
