PLANNING OVERVIEW
As part of the 2009 ComEd Community Energy Challenge (CEC), ComEd set aside $200,000.00 in business incentives for commercial energy efficiency projects in Orland Park. As part of the CEC, ComEd requested that participating municipalities assist in the delivery of these incentives. The Commercial Façade Improvement Program (CFIP) was determined to be the best existing program that could help Orland Park businesses improve their energy efficiency. By taking advantage of ComEd and Village incentives, Orland Park businesses will save money and improve their overall economic competitiveness.
This is also part of the Village’s efforts outlined in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Municipal Action Plan (ECOMAP).
DISCUSSION
Under normal conditions, the Commercial Façade Improvement Program (CFIP) focuses primarily on façade improvements and restoration (with some foundation and rooftop work) in the Central 143rd Street Commercial District. In order to fit CFIP to the energy efficiency initiatives outlined in ECOMAP and CEC, and to serve a larger area, two program extension modules were created. The first program extension module is the Energy Efficiency Module (EEM) and the second is the Auto Mall Module (AMM). EEM will assist in the disbursement of $100,000.00 in ComEd Smart Ideas for Your Business incentives, while AMM will assist in the disbursement of $50,000.00 in ComEd incentives. The remaining $50,000.00 in ComEd incentives will be used by the Smart Energy Improvement Revolving Loan Program, currently under development using Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds.
