REMINDER: District Energy Magazine Abstracts Due Friday

[Monica Westerlund]

Good morning,
Do you have a story about district energy and/or combined heat and
power that you'd like to share with the readers of District Energy
magazine? If so, please consider submitting an abstract, which is due
this Fri., June 5. Read on for more information.

IDEA is asking for abstracts of articles to be considered for
publication in the 2010 issues of District Energy magazine. In a
150-200-word abstract, tell us who would write the article (and which
organization[s]) they represent), what the article would cover and why
the topic or story angle is unique. (All resulting articles must be
non-commercial in nature.)

Topics -- to name just a few -- might include
-- Sustainable initiatives (task forces, etc. on campus) in which your
district energy and/or CHP system are included
-- Why your campus is or is not a part of the American College &
University Presidents Climate Commitment and how it is affecting your
district energy/CHP projects and planning
-- How is your campus is planning for future in an era of change? Will
growth continue at this pace given the economic times? How do you
adjust to budget constraints and still plan for the future?
-- How much influence do you have on individual building design and
ensuring new buildings optimize your services?
-- What opportunities do you have for alternative fuel use? What is
pushing you forward or holding you back?

The abstract should be submitted via email by Fri., June 5, 2009, to
Monica Westerlund, executive editor District Energy magazine, at
m...@westerlund.com. The publication's editorial committee will review
all abstracts, with members receiving first-chance consideration. The
authors selected will then be notified of their acceptance and the
publication schedule.

The publication is produced in a hard copy and a digital edition and
is distributed internationally.
