February 20, 2024 – February 22, 2024
The CampusEnergy2024 will take place for the 37th time in San Fransisco, February 20-22, 2024. Many American campuses are converting from steam to hot water systems, so there is a tremendous demand for Danish expertise and components.
CampusEnergy2024 is organized by IDEA and is the top district heating sector event of the year in North America. The event gathers more than 1,000 district energy professionals for three days of educational content with pre-conference workshops, a five-track technical program and multiple tours of operating district energy systems.
DBDH has in cooperation with the Danish District Advisory (DDEA) secured a strong Danish presence at the conference. By signing up for the event through DBDH, you will get the following:
- Participation in a joint Danish “tabletop/roll-up exhibition”
- Participation in the 2 x 25 min. Danish presentations at the CampusEnergy2023 conference
- Danish networking dinner where you can invite special guests
- Participation in the full conference program
- Participation in the Welcome Evening Event
- Lunch and dinners
- All planning provided by DDEA and DBDH
The event is co-financed by Danish Trade Council by 50%.
Market data
- As of January 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Combined Heat and Power Installation Database counted 4,571 CHP
- In the US, IDEA reported there are 386 college/ university district energy systems (54% of all US DE systems reported by IDEA), and in Canada there are 21 college/ university district energy systems (21% of all Canadian DE systems reported by IDEA)
- According to IDEA, in 2012, a total of ~5.45 billion sqft of district heating installed capacity in the U.S. existed and ~1.87 billion sqft of district cooling. IDEA also projected a yearly increase in hot water heating in the U.S. of 0.4% (2013-2020) then +6.5%/yr (2021-2030), +5.5%/yr (2031-2040), and +4%/yr (2041-2050). Then on district cooling, +1.2% (2021–2030), +1.7% (2031–2040) and +2.2% (2041-2050)
- Several US colleges have set aggressive and ambitious climate goals which include increasing their renewable energy fraction. For example, Penn, Yale and Brown all are aiming to achieve carbon neutral before 2050, and Dartmouth, Columbia and Massachusetts are targeting a 80% reduction in GHGs before 2050. With these carbon targets fast approaching, North American companies are actively planning, designing, partnering, constructing, and commissioning a wide range of innovative energy and environmental technologies for institutions across USA and Canada.
