seancb,

If incentives were provided any large building that uses boilers and air-conditioning could switch to an absorption system for the air conditioning. This switch would allow building owners to produce electricity with a natural gas fired compression engine and use the exhaust from the engine to fuel absorption refrigeration (converts heat to cooling with no compressor) and boilers. That is called co-generation in the business (it's what I do for a living) and it's not difficult to implement. It will require capital investment, could grants and tax incentives provide the push for conversion?
