Uncover Savings Opportunities with FREE Facility Assessments

ComEd offers FREE facility assessments to help your park district identify energy-saving opportunities, whether it’s lighting, HVAC systems, chillers or motors. A ComEd energy engineer will visit your facility and provide a report detailing recommended energy efficiency projects, many with short turnaround times and minimal disruption. Each recommendation includes estimated cost and projected ROI.

Even better, smaller park district facilities are eligible for enhanced incentives and direct installation through the ComEd public small facilities offering.

Enhanced LED Lighting and Controls

From gymnasiums and swimming pools to tennis courts and ballfields, park district participants rely on bright lighting for their safety and enjoyment. Energy-efficient LED fixtures direct daylight-quality light only where it is wanted, eliminating negative impacts on surrounding areas and neighbors. LEDs instantly turn on to full brightness as soon as light is needed. ComEd provides incentives for installation of LEDs, as well as occupancy sensors, daylight controls and timers, helping make sure areas are well lit whenever they need to be—and aren't wasting energy when they don't.

All public sector customers, including park district facilities, are eligible for instant discounts on commercial-grade lighting and exit sign products. Save instantly at the time of purchase, with no paperwork necessary!

Enhance Indoor Comfort with HVAC Upgrades

Heating, ventilation and cooling accounts for nearly a third of energy use in a typical recreation facility. ComEd offers incentives and technical assistance to tune-up or replace your inefficient HVAC system, saving money while improving the comfort of guests throughout the premises. Consider installing air side economizers—also incentivized— which take in and filter outside air to cool the building more efficiently.

Each HVAC unit tune-up, conducted by a trained ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider, includes a thorough inspection and adjustment of the unit's thermostat, economizer, refrigerant charge, coils and belts for optimal performance. Incentives are also available for HVAC system component upgrades like water and air-cooled chillers, and energy management systems.

Money-Saving Solutions for Swimming Pools, Aquatic Centers

 Did you know that ComEd can help make your swimming pools and aquatic centers more energy efficient? Reduce the energy use of water pumps by installing variable speed drives, which continually alter the motor speed to meet actual demand. Likewise, demand-controlled ventilation modulates airflow throughout the aquatic center, easing the stress on HVAC systems.

Technical Assistance, Incentives on New Construction Projects

Is your park district planning a major renovation or new construction project? The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program provides comprehensive building modeling services at no cost to you. We will work with your design team to maximize savings and incentives to help your new construction project exceed Illinois Energy Conservation Code requirements.

New developments and major renovations of at least 5,000 sq. ft. are eligible. Be sure to involve the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program team as soon as possible—the earlier we are engaged in the design process, the higher the incentive values and the greater the long-term savings!
