Hi Kurt,
The generator building is far from the load locations. All the waste heat is lost. Because we are building a battery and inverter building attached to the generator building, perhaps this will help cool it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Are they using any of the waste heat from those gennies?
HIJC sells a very slick adsorption chiller which could prove useful.
