Bringing visibility to our industry in Washington, IDEA actively lobbies on behalf of our members to secure favorable legislation and funding opportunities for our industry. When pertinent legislation comes to the table, IDEA weighs in on key points and calls on members to engage policymakers.
Year after year we engage in issues that directly affect utility members, including the treatment of district energy in ASHRAE Standard 189, in LEED®, and in the recently released ASHRAE District Heating and Cooling Handbook.
