Sustainability Resources

CCLF encourages the use of energy-efficient building standards and environmentally friendly materials in the design and construction of community real estate developments. Toward this end, CCLF is pleased to offer several sustainable design resources to help CDCs and housing cooperatives create well-designed, cost-efficient affordable housing and facilities.

New construction and major renovation projects can benefit environmentally and economically from ComEd’s comprehensive energy solutions.  The best time to start engaging ComEd is at the project design phase.  ComEd can provide customized support for rebate incentives that will help your project implement climate resiliency and energy efficiency measures, while reducing overall project costs.  Program detail and applications are available at the link below.  CCLF is ready to provide further support to match your project with a suitable and beneficial incentive.
