Plenary Panel Discussion 2 – Leading the Energy Transition for Cities, Communities and Campuses with District Energy
Grand East & Centre
By aggregating the thermal energy needs of dozens, even hundreds of buildings, district energy systems create economies of scale to support investment in geothermal, electrification, thermal energy recovery and combined heat & power, to name a few. District energy infrastructure can serve as an enabling technology to deliver critical de-carbonization to cities and communities.
Drawing from experience and professional insight, our panelists will discuss strategies, technologies and opportunities to accelerate the transition to a lower-carbon energy future.
