Since 1909, the International

District Energy Association

has served the district energy

industry by organizing highly

specialized conferences to

inform and connect attendees

and advance the industry

around the world.

As regional real estate development has slowed, district energy infrastructure must be properly managed and optimized to fully realize stakeholder benefits. District cooling systems, especially in the Middle East, are creating scale for more robust power and water conservation technologies while mitigating peak demand on the power grid, enhancing sustainable solutions, and generating space and capital savings for end users.

Industry leaders belong to IDEA, participate in IDEA and rely on IDEA for:

relevant industry information and unique business guidance;

open peer exchange on technical, engineering and operational issues;

experienced insight on complex infrastructure and environmental challenges;

world-class business partners with practical, hands-on expertise; and

timely information on emerging trends and effective, professional advocacy.

Now, with more than 100 years

of continuous operation, IDEA

is pleased to announce the

Fourth Annual International

District Cooling Conference

& Trade Show.

Plan now to attend the Fourth Annual International District Cooling Conference & Trade Show in the Middle East. Network with world-class providers. Special sessions include:

District Energy and LEED - Update on USGBC District Energy Guidance for optimizing district cooling in green buildings

System Operations - Optimizing plant efficiency to maximize profitability and shareholder value
