A revolutionary new hot water system that also generates free electricity has been installed at the 74-unit Cambridge House co-op residences at 3235 Cambridge Ave. in the Riverdale section of the Bronx in New York City, the first co-op building to tap the technology. Connecticut-based Enviro Power, Inc.’s SmartWatt Boiler is an energy-saving, emission-reducing, drop-in replacement for the hot water portion of conventional heating systems, the first and only boiler designed to convert heat that would otherwise be lost in traditional boilers into useful electricity.

“We are excited about the potential to tackle the issue of climate change through our work in New York City as Enviro Power is laser-focused on decarbonizing the building sector, contributing to the green economy, and making sure any building has access to cleaner and more affordable electricity by promoting climate justice and lowering energy poverty,” said Dan Nadav, CEO of Enviro Power. “With the easy-to-install and maintain decarbonizing technology built into the SmartWatt boiler, Enviro Power is well positioned to serve co-op buildings by lowering the carbon footprint and reducing energy costs more efficiently when replacing old heating systems.”
