TENs Together: A Technical Exchange for Communities and Developers is a collaborative meeting designed to advance the deployment of Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) across Colorado, particularly in a rural or resort context. The Exchange will bring together project developers, local governments, and key stakeholders to share technical and financial insights and consider solutions to systemic barriers. The focus will be on developing actionable strategies for deploying Thermal Energy Networks (TENs), ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), networked heat pumps, district energy, and integrated heat recovery systems. The morning portion will include keynote speaker Kathy Hannun, CEO of Dandelion Energy. Most of the day is reserved for regional project roundtables, issue-specific panels, breakout groups and networking. Participants will leave with deeper knowledge, new connections, and practical information to implement strategic thermal projects in their communities.
