Climate Action

Connecting Housing & Energy

In Evanston, 80% of our carbon emissions come from our buildings.

EDC strongly encourages our partners and clients to pursue all-electric structures, with air source heat pumps and energy recovery ventilation. Our partner’s super-insulated Eco-Panels also produce an energy-efficient building envelope that minimizes leakage of cold outdoor air in the winter.

An actively ventilated, energy-efficient home simply provides healthier indoor air quality and helps residents save on utility bills.
