Because Evanston's Sustainability Coordinator must oversee many initiatives planned for 2023, we are providing assistance to help propel this concept forward for future adoption by the Evanston City Council. Early steps include researching similar ordinances adopted by other cities, drafting preliminary language for review, and providing example criteria for building applicability along with eligible exemptions. The goal is to limit the use of natural gas as a prevalent fuel source in new construction and in major renovations.
Help us keep our map updated as we track Evanston's progress in the installation of solar panels, heat pumps, geothermal heating systems, vehicle charging stations, and infrastructure supporting people-powered modes of transportation like bicycling and walking.
