Key Areas Your Gift Supports
The Illinois Green Schools Project is a year-long sustainability initiative designed for K-12 schools in Illinois.
Participants can form a green team, identify their school's sustainability needs and goals, and reduce their school's impact by designing and implementing a personalized no-to low-cost sustainability project.
Your support makes it possible for us to keep virtual education programs free, continue to host the annual Getting to Zero Illinois Summit, and expand programs that assist developers and owners on the latest industry trends
We will increase our capacity to support new green building policy, including the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), and promote City of Chicago building decarbonization policies, such as the Clean and Affordable Building Ordinance (CABO), by connecting building professionals with decision makers.
Your support ensures The Building Energy Resource Hub will continue to serve Chicago and Northeastern Illinois with critical training and resources so stakeholders in the region can meet aggressive building sector climate action goals, while growing an inclusive green economy.
