Read the Latest Issue of District Energy

The 2023 third-quarter issue of District Energy magazine is now available online. Members will also receive the printed magazine via mail. As always, District Energy highlights industry news and innovative work being done by IDEA members in North America and beyond.

In this issue, IDEA's new Chair for 2023-24, Carlyle Coutinho, CEO of Enwave Corp., whose theme for the year ahead, "Go slow to go fast," urges IDEA members to take the time to listen, learn and "sharpen the ax" in preparation for action and collaboration required to accelerate the energy transition. "Working together collectively as the 'IDEA Family' we can realize our net zero intentions," Carlyle writes.

Some additional highlights and features in this issue:

Business is booming in Boston and Cambridge — and at a candy company too - Major upgrades at Vicinity Energy will support life science industries, meet stringent new emission restrictions and keep the world's only Junior Mints factory cooking.
At Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, a model solution to electrification - Modernizing a campus with carbon-free centralized heating and cooling
A Danish port city that sees ahead - 'Sector coupling' allows for flexible energy sourcing and distribution

Reimagining district systems with AI - Creating synergy by combining traditional applications with more advanced ones

The eyes into the souls of power plants- Reliable data remains the backbone of good plant management
