Exciting news! 🌟 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted Chicago $9.9 million to support the Community Geothermal Heating and Cooling Initiative. This groundbreaking project will implement a community wide geothermal heating and cooling system and sets an example of how widespread adoption of geothermal systems can help electrify the building sector, reduce energy costs for families, and boost grid resilience. We’re thrilled to partner with Blacks In Green, The Accelerate Group, Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO), Citizens Utility Board (Illinois), Climate Jobs Illinois, and IL AFL-CIO on this transformative project! Here’s to a greener, more sustainable future! ♻️ 🌾 #Sustainability #Geothermal #GreenInitiatives Follow the link to learn more. 👇

What if I said these mesmerizing patterns were created using only light? 💡 Driven by its commitment to accessible education, the College of Lake County’s new Lakeshore Student Center features innovative lighting solutions that invite students to utilize the space for both education and community. Through cross-discipline collaboration, dbHMS was able to reduce energy consumption and costs while designing artistic lighting that uses indirect illumination, asymmetry, light diffusion, and more. We are proud of this project receiving the IES Chicago College Experience Redefined 2024 Award and we hope to shine light on other impactful developments in the future! Thanks to our partners!
