This year’s recipients and their results build upon a more than
decade-long trend of increasing adoption of district energy to
reliably and efficiently deliver heating and cooling to buildings
both here in the U.S. and around the globe. Through voluntary
reporting by IDEA member operating systems, the awards and
accompanying report measure the square footage served by district
energy systems in newly committed buildings and those that have
extended a contract with a duration of 10 years or more.
Since 1990, 2.8 billion square feet of building space have been
added or renewed to district energy service by IDEA member systems,
showing the incredible momentum and value of district energy to
communities around the world over the last three decades.
“2023 represented another year of outstanding growth by IDEA
member district energy systems, and we are thrilled to recognize
their achievements with the District Energy Space Awards,” said Rob
Thornton, President & CEO, IDEA. “The increasing numbers of
square footage and number of buildings served demonstrates district
energy’s staying power and its importance to our cities and
campuses of the future.”
On Monday, June 17th at IDEA’s Annual Conference in Orlando,
IDEA recognized members from North America and Beyond North America
who reported the largest growth in the number of buildings served
as well as total square footage added in 2023.
