Powering Chicago member contractor Hy-Power Electric spearheaded the electrical infrastructure for this 35,000-square-foot building.

Just west of Chicago, the Countryside Municipal Complex features more than 600 solar panels that generate an impressive 275 megawatt-hours per year. The building’s low-emissivity glass boosts solar heat gain by 84 percent versus typical insulated glass, enhancing its energy efficiency.
