IDEA's
Mission Statement
IDEA
fosters the success of its members as leaders in providing
reliable, economical, efficient and environmentally sound
district energy services. Its vision is to promote energy
efficiency and environmental quality through the advancement
of district heating, district cooling and cogeneration (also
known as combined heat and power or
CHP).
IDEA
represents nearly 700 members who are district heating and
cooling executives, managers, engineers, consultants and equipment
suppliers from 12 countries. Association members operate district
energy systems owned by utilities, municipalities, hospitals,
military bases and airports in 38 of the 50 United States
- and more are in the works in the U.S. and around the world.
The largest district heating system in the United States,
owned by Consolidated Edison
of New York, is an IDEA member.
IDEA
provides a forum for district energy professionals to exchange
information on regular and timely basis. The association holds
a major conference and trade show and 3-6 other conferences
or workshops annually.
It also publishes a quarterly magazine, District
Energy; a monthly on-line newsletter;
the District Energy Resource Guide;
on-site conference newsletter; conference
and workshop proceedings via hard copy and CDs; and technical
handbooks. Videos are also available.
IDEA
holds its annual conference and trade show each June in communities
that have district heating and/or cooling systems.
