International District Energy Association

IDEA was pleased to support the New York State Department of Public Service (DPS) on Tuesday, March 25 for the Technical Conference on Existing Thermal Energy Networks. ? Representatives from operating #DistrictEnergy systems in cities across North America shared #technology insights, operational experience, and business best practices to help support deployment of efficient, environmentally-sound and economically competitive #ThermalEnergyNetworks for communities, cities and campuses in New York.

#DistrictSteam is a proven approach to reducing #CarbonEmissions at scale. For large cities – even those as dense as Manhattan – where buildings seek to comply with Local Law 97, #DistrictEnergy can facilitate decarbonizing heating systems for hundreds of buildings at a time. ? The largest downtown steam system in the world, Con Edison, is planning to implement innovations that will accelerate the #EnergyTransition and lower carbon emissions for its 1,500 customer buildings in Manhattan.?Con Edison’s President, Matthew Ketschke recently spoke with?Urban Green Council to share how Con Edison's district steam is uniquely positioned to help landmark buildings like the Empire State Building, Grand Central terminal, and hundreds of others avoid disruptive, unpredictable HVAC renovations with lower risk to tenants and owners.

The inaugural class of Patti Wilson Leaders is ready for whatever challenges lie ahead, and this Women’s History Month is the perfect time to reintroduce them. Chosen for their leadership potential and passion for district energy, they were honored at #CampusEnergy2025 and presented with the award by Patti’s husband, Matt.? The Patti Wilson Leadership Program was created by IDEA, the Wilson family and Patti’s former employer, Affiliated Engineers, Inc., to foster the participation of women in district energy. This group of women embodies many of the characteristics that made Patti and irreplaceable presence in the IDEA community. These women come from all corners of the United States and Canada and are ready to make unique contributions to their fields.

IDEA Board member, Tim Peer, P.E., took what he calls “the road less traveled” into #DistrictEnergy, but his impact on the industry has been significant.? ? Cornell University’s #Innovative Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) project was one of?Tim’s first projects and that was just the start.?He has come full circle in our field. ? In our latest blog, we dive into?Tim’s journey, from the Marine Corps to union plant operator, leading to a 22 year-long career at Cornell, followed by consulting at CHA and now leading the district energy team at BOND Building Construction in strategy, planning and constructing world-class energy systems.?Tim has seen district energy from all sides.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? District energy has been a place where?Tim?formed lifelong friendships and learned that every project counts toward making an impact. ? #Sustainability #Decarbonization #EnergyResilency
