The IDEA Campus Forum focuses on the unique needs of directors of utility, plant supervisors and engineering staff on campuses of colleges and universities, hospitals and health centers, airports, pharmaceutical companies and 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.
