On behalf of the IDEA Board of Directors and
staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to
IDEA2015: Inspiring the Next Generation – our
106th Annual Conference here in the historic
city of Boston, Massachusetts.
Committee. Moving forward, I am pleased to
pass the gavel to Bruce Ander of Markham
District Energy, who holds a deep passion for
our industry and organization. He will be supported by Tim Griffin of RMF Engineering as
Vice Chair, Chris Lyons as Second Vice Chair
and Jim Lodge of NRG Energy, who stands in
nomination on Tuesday for the At Large seat
on the Executive Committee.
Nearly 240 years ago, a historic revolution
started here in Boston. Today, we are witnessing a similar revolution in the way we produce,
deliver and manage energy for cities. We are
pleased you are able to join with us as we inspire a new generation of energy systems and
the next generation of talented professionals
to implement our ambitions.
IDEA2015 will bring together over 700 people
from 39 different US states and 20 different
countries. Our industry is growing in importance and visibility around the world and it is
important that we come together in collaboration to share the experiences and insights
needed to accelerate deployment of district
energy. Here at IDEA2015, you will find an impressive and timely technical program complemented by an exhibit hall featuring our leading
Business Partners offering equipment, technology and know-how. I urge you to take full advantage of the networking opportunities with
our exhibitors. Who knows, you might also win
some pretty nice raffle gifts while you’re at it!
Here in Boston we are fortunate to have multiple member systems such as Veolia Energy,
Harvard University, MATEP and Biogen willing
to roll out the red carpet for system tours on
Wednesday. We are grateful that the City of
Boston has engaged in support of our conference and we are thrilled to welcome dozens
of local college students to sample the program and tour the exhibits. Their participation
has been underwritten by an outpouring of
tremendous financial support from our many
Sponsors.
For many reasons, June marks a period of
transition for your IDEA Board Members and
this year is no different. Please join me in
thanking Bill DiCroce of Veolia Energy for his
many years of service on the IDEA Board and
Past Chair Patti Wilson of Affiliated Engineers
for her contributions while on the Executive
We are fortunate to have an excellent slate of
nominees for the Board this year. Along with
renewal for another term for current directors,
Ed Conway of Con Edison, Jeff Duncan of
Vanderweil Engineers, and Jim Riley of Texas
A&M University, we are pleased that David
Bump of Enwave Chicago and Joe Riemer of
Trane have volunteered to serve a three year
term. I applaud them for making this important
commitment to IDEA.
I want to extend my thanks to all the members
of the IDEA staff for their commitment to
organizing excellent conferences and for their
dedication and daily efforts in support of our
cause throughout the year.
In closing, please accept my gratitude for
allowing me to serve as your Chair for this
past year. It has been an honor and a privilege.
I firmly believe that now is the time for the
district energy industry to move forward and
deliver our full advantages to the cities, communities and campuses we serve around the
globe. Working together we can inspire the
next generation of energy systems and empower our successors to make it happen.
I hope you enjoy your time in Boston and
thank you for your support of IDEA.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to IDEA2015:
Inspiring the Next Generation, the International District Energy Association’s 106th Annual
Conference & Trade Show. Thank you for joining us in Boston and for participating in the advancement of our association and our industry.
For over a century, IDEA members and guests
have come together annually to share ideas,
exchange solutions and to discuss new innovations, opportunities, and common challenges
facing our industry. This year, our program
features important perspectives from city sustainability leaders, regulators, as well as distinguished industry experts from around the
globe.
The utility industry is in the midst of profound
structural change with a shift toward more integrated, sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure for cities, towns and communities.
As evidenced by the UNEP District Energy in
Cities Initiative, district energy has rightly
emerged as a key strategy for cities globally to
improve primary energy efficiency, cut emissions, and optimize local resources. It is time
that we change how we generate and deliver
cleaner energy to cities while we also inform
and encourage the next generation of young
people to support this mission.
During this conference we also take stock of
progress and recognize achievement and innovation in our industry. Along with traditions
like the System of the Year and DE Space
Awards, we continue the IDEA Innovation
Award started by Joe Brillhart of JCI to spotlight
member accomplishments in technology, operations or optimization. We hope these examples of ingenuity and operational excellence
will inform and inspire others.
IDEA is grateful to the ongoing contributions of
our 119 Business Partner Exhibitors and the
valuable support of our many Sponsors, whose
financial support is critical to our mutual success and enables us to help underwrite the
participation of dozens of public sector leaders
and local students from area colleges. I urge
P r esiden t ’ s W e l c o me
you to explore our trade show and talk with
our members who offer an impressive array of
technologies combined with deep, real-world
experience.
By coming together here in Boston, we all gain
professionally from the technical and business
discussions so important to our industry momentum. By learning and exchanging experiences, we emerge even more motivated and
energized to collaborate on challenges best
suited for a collective industry voice. And finally,
in reconnecting with industry colleagues and
friends, we continue to grow personally and
professionally as our businesses prosper and
our horizons expand.
I extend a special welcome to a large number
of people who are joining us for the first time
and of course, I am pleased to welcome back
many colleagues and friends for whom the
IDEA Conference serves as an annual “return
to Capistrano”. Let’s all make a special effort to
welcome our past and new participants – all are
vital to IDEA’s longevity and continued success.
For me personally, it is a great privilege to be
part of IDEA and to serve this important industry at this point in time. In closing, I want to
thank the dedicated staff of IDEA and all the
presenters, moderators and panelists for their
contributions to this 106th Annual Conference
& Trade Show. I want to congratulate Ken Smith
for a very successful term as IDEA Chair and for
his leadership and vision. Thank you to all the
members of the Executive Committee and the
IDEA Board of Directors for their solid support
and contributions throughout the year. I hope
you all enjoy the time we spend together here
in Boston and are enriched by the experience.
Best regards,
Robert P. Thornton

Facts
Boston was founded in 1630,
making it one of the oldest
cities in the United States. It
was also a key location during
the American Revolution.
n Boston
has more neighborhoods than almost any other
city in the United States,
making it one of the most
subdivided in America. This
has earned Boston one of it’s
nicknames, the “City of
Neighborhoods.”
n Boston
features the first-ever
subway in America. The
Tremont Street Subway was
built in 1897.
n Boston’s
eponymous dessert,
the Boston cream pie, was
created at the Parker House
Hotel in 1856 by head chef M.
Sanzian. The Boston cream pie
is, in reality, a cake, not a pie.
n Boston
was home to the first
library on the North American
continent, built in 1657.
n Boston’s
Kenmore Square
features a massive Citgo sign as
one of its center-points. The
neon tubing in the sign stretches over 5 miles in length.
n Boston
is one of the youngest
cities in America. Almost 75% of
the city’s population is under 45.
n Boston’s
population represents
only 10% of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, but more
than a third of the state’s college
students go to school in the city.
n Boston
is the home of America’s
first university. Founded as New
College in 1636, the institution’s
name was changed to Harvard
College in 1639, and didn’t
become a full university until
1841.
n Boston’s
nickname, “The Athens
of America,” isn’t based on any
geographical similarities, but
because the city features more
than one hundred institutes of
higher learning within its borders.

reliable energy to campuses

Forum Meetings
at IDEA’s 106th Conference & Trade Show
Open meetings for IDEA members to discuss current
industry issues and trends by specialty area.
Sunday, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Business Development – Room 304
Distribution + Mutual Assistance for District Energy (MADE) Program –
Room 302
District Cooling – Room 305
Principal Managers – Room 303
Talent Management – Room 301
Please note that the Canadian Forum will meet on Tuesday morning from
7:00 am – 7:45 am in Room 307.
IDEA Member Forums are designed to facilitate peer exchange and collaboration
and to bring together members with common interests who work in areas of
similar professional focus. For instance, the Distribution Forum is organized to
provide interaction among those who are involved in engineering, maintenance,
operations and safety of underground steam, hot water and chilled water piping
systems. Within the Distribution Forum, district energy professionals face universal issues related to manhole maintenance, building connections, metering, etc.
and this Forum provides a vehicle for like-minded people to share solutions,
exchange technical issues and plan for salient conference topics of interest.
Forum members meet physically at least once a year at IDEA’s conferences in
February and June. For the balance of the year, discussions continue online via
Google Groups for anyone seeking help when they need it. Examples of topics
include:
• Cost and performance comparison benchmarking data from peer organizations
• Effects of reducing steam pressure or challenges with corrosion in a distribution system
• Experiences with different types of meters
• Reenergizing and remediating out-of-service steam lines
• Fixed vs. rotating shifts for operators
To join a forum, send an email request to idea@districtenergy.org. IDEA
Members may participate in as many forums as they wish and can opt out at any
time. After registering as an online forum member, you can post and respond
to posted items. All membership and posting requests are moderated by IDEA.
Detailed information on how to use the online IDEA forum is available at

Business Development Forum
n
Microgrid Forum
Co-Chairs: Steve Kutska, Xcel Energy; Scott Barr, Detroit Thermal;
Jim Lodge, NRG dGen
For business development professionals responsible for sales,
marketing, customer relations, revenue generation and new business
acquisition for district energy systems. At this year’s Forum meeting,
the group will review Revision 4 of the LEED guidelines and focus on
examples of models of district systems that enhance their value in
achieving LEED points. Forum members who have developed a LEED
model for their systems are asked to bring a summary of their model
to share. We will also present financial analyses comparing on-site
systems versus district systems, discuss changes in the latest revision
of ASHRAE 90.1; and review Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) chiller
systems and mini-boilers.
Members of the IDEA Microgrid Forum have an interest in the
promotion, planning, operation and growth of microgrids, resilient
local grids that can intelligently operate in parallel with, or independently from, the public electric grid. Robust microgrids have at their
core district energy/CHP facilities to maximize efficiency, utilize
thermal energy and integrate a variety of renewable and resilient
systems. The Microgrid Forum will provide a common location for
industry participants to share best practices, discuss regulatory and
policy issues, and help advance to a more distributed and efficient
electricity industry paradigm. (Not holding a meeting in Boston).

other industrial campuses and military bases. The Campus Forum
hosts discussions of a variety of topics from equipment specifics and
fuel purchasing to system management and environmental permits.
The Campus Energy Forum sponsors the annual Campus Energy
Conference each year, at which members exchange information on
best practice successes, challenges and solutions, traditionally
scheduled in Q1. (Not holding a meeting in Boston).
This Forum focuses on central plant equipment, including the latest
innovations in control technologies and is intended for those with
primary plant operation, safety and compliance issues. At this year’s
Forum we will discuss: Training–programs that work to bring personnel
up to industry standards, encourage career ladders and help retain
personnel; New Technology–what is being used to provide more real
time predictive information on equipment condition; Safety–making
programs work; Commissioning; Emergency preparedness; and
Environmental compliance. (Not holding a meeting in Boston).

For those who serve as general manager with profit & loss responsibility and primary operational responsibility for a district energy
business. This Forum meeting will address: Macro problems district
energy businesses are facing; Opportunities to strengthen awareness and benefits of district energy, including potential pooling of
resources for white papers and studies, etc.; What can IDEA do as
an association to better represent member interests; Best practices;
and Open discussion.
n
Sustainable Energy Forum
This Forum focuses on the selection, design and cost-benefit
guidelines for integrating sustainable, renewable energy sources into
district energy systems. District energy systems are increasingly
employing various renewable energy resources, improving operational
efficiency, expanding the use of CHP, reducing water consumption,
improving storm water controls, and more to meet growing sustainability expectations from customers. (Not holding a meeting in Boston).
