TRAINING AND OUTREACH
The Smart Energy Design Assistance Center provides resources for people who seek to make their buildings operate more efficiently. SEDAC can help locate incentives to assist in funding such improvements. We accomplish this by giving presentations to Illinois businesses and organizations, participating in energy conferences to share energy tips, and conveying training opportunities through SEDAC, DCEO, and other organizations.
Training opportunities are listed on this page. Training opportunities for Public Housing Authorities are listed on the PHA page
