Benchmark, Save, Celebrate! Discover the Illinois Building Energy Challenge

Join Illinois Green Alliance for an interactive virtual session to learn more about the recently launched Illinois Building Energy Challenge, an annual recognition and award program celebrating energy use reduction — with a spirit of friendly competition among peers!

We will go over how the Challenge works, the benefits of participating, the overall timeline, awards and recognition, and key details such as a sneak peek at Knowledgebase.
