The Czech Republic legislation encourages utilizing of all kinds of poly-generation systems. Local distributors of electricity must buy at a special price all electricity produced by poly-generation systems. Year operation hours of poly-generation systems are limited only by actual heat requirements. The cogeneration unit used in the studied building runs 6350 hour per year without utilizing of an absorption cycle. This period is extended to 7250 hour per year in a case of utilizing of the tri-generation technology driven by heat from a cogeneration unit. This extension enables to operate the cogeneration unit effectively even during summer period, commonly without heat requirements. Poly-generation of energy is connected with saving of a primary energy sources. The cogeneration technology decreases consumption of the primary energy by 29 %. The tri-generation technology decreases consumption of the primary energy by 20 %. We calculated the payback period as a basic economical criterion. Input parameters correspond to situation in the Czech Republic in the year 2006. The payback of the cogeneration and the tri-generation technology was evaluated close to 4.5 years in comparison with the separate production of electricity, heat and cool. An investment of a tri-generation technology is more expensive in comparison with a cogeneration technology. But a tri-generation technology offers higher annual saving and higher profit during the life-time period. In this contribution we assumed not utilizing of waste heat from the tri-generation technology. This low temperature heat can be utilized for preheating of water or heating of swimming pools. In these cases the saving of the primary energy is more significant. A tri-generation technology connected with an air-condition unit is profitable assembly convenient for mid-size building in conditions of the Czech Republic. Other advantages of this system are: uniform annual consumption of electricity, air-conditioning without burden of an electricity distribution net, back up source of energy.
