Energy Savers by the Numbers
| Units Retrofitted | Jobs Created | Gas therms Saved | Average Annual $ Saved |

Energy Assessment
CNT Energy Energy Savers staff will conduct a complete energy assessment of your building that includes an examination of utility bills and a comprehensive building analysis. The analysis includes an interview with the building operator and a visual and diagnostic inspection of the building envelop, public areas, a representative living space and the mechanical systems, including HVAC, hot water and lighting equipment.
Financial Guidance
CNT Energy Savers and Community Investment Corporation (CIC) can help you assemble the financing to implement our recommendations, including grant funding for income-eligible properties; if you qualify for lower county tax assessments, we will help coordinate energy tax credits.
Construction Oversight
CNT Energy Savers will assist you throughout the construction process, from developing a plan to implement our recommendations and reviewing bids from contractors to scheduling and monitoring installation work, plus everything in between.
Annual Performance Monitoring
CNT Energy Savers will review your energy bills and provide an annual performance report. If your building is not performing as well as anticipated, we will perform an annual building tune-up.
CNT Energy’s Energy Savers is a keystone initiative of The Preservation Compact, a public/private commitment to reverse the loss of affordable rental housing supply in Cook County, because the program helps reduce operating costs for owners of affordable rental properties.
Through a grant from Energy Impact Illinois, funded through the US Department of Energy, CNT Energy Savers is proud to be working throughout the entire 7-county Chicago metropolitan region and the City of Rockford.
