Quality Urban Energy Systems of Tomorrow

Halifax October 12-14 - QUEST IV - Accelerating Integrated Community Energy Solutions - Navigating the Path Forward - will tackle the substantial challenges to the advancement of Integrated Community Energy Solutions (ICES) in Canada. Featuring an interactive dialogue between expert panelists and the audience the 2010 event will address: mobilizing private capital; the capacity gap; and policy options necessary for the adoption of the community energy model in Canada.

The results and the insights from the QUEST research study on the potential energy savings and the environmental benefits associated with ICES will be highlighted. Success stories from Canada will be showcased to broaden our understanding of what can be accomplished in small to medium sized communities.

We look forward to seeing you in Halifax October 12-14 for what promises to be an informative and stimulating forum as we navigate the path forward to ICES adoption - the new business as usual - in Canadian communities.
