The Building Energy Hub
Founders Circle
To support our efforts of decarbonizing Illinois' existing building stock, we are convening the Building Energy Hub Founders Circle. This is an exclusive group of industry donors whose leadership will provide the critical support necessary to ensure we deliver free, cutting-edge programming and technical tools to building professionals who don’t have access to the necessary resources.
