Hot n' Cold: Talking efficiency with International District Energy Association (Ep. 246)

from EnergyCents

District energy uses a centralized network of underground pipes to transport produced steam and hot or chilled water to heat or cool end-use buildings. The model is most commonly found in densely populated and connected environments, such as college campuses, medical centers, or centrally planned residential communities. International District Energy Association CEO Rob Thornton joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the various applications of district energy and why it should be considered an important contributor to meeting decarbonization and grid-resilience goals.
