Two New Research Projects Make Waves
The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program recently made a big splash with two water-based research projects:
Green Stormwater Infrastructure
After identifying nine municipalities in the ComEd service territory that could benefit from green stormwater infrastructure, this project quantified the potential energy savings and other impacts of adopting the technology. View highlights >
Water Market Analysis
This water channel characterization study analyzed industry trends and technologies to identify the greatest opportunities for reducing water and energy use in the ComEd service territory. View highlights >
