SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois officials are launching partnerships among contractors and energy companies to help public-sector agencies save money and power in their buildings.
The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunities’ "trade ally" program teams lighting and heating and air conditioning contractors, engineers and architects, and energy service companies and businesses which sell energy-saving devices.
DCEO trains them on available energy-efficiency programs available through "Illinois Energy Now" and they in turn help schools and other government agencies save power and money in operating their office space.
The Chicago and Urbana-Champaign campuses of the University of Illinois also have programs that participate in the effort.
