Driven by Loyola University Chicago’s (LUC) long-term desire for a net zero ecology campus, Elara Engineering has been collaborating with LUC over the last 12 years to replace the campus HVAC systems with an ultra-low energy geothermal system. After the most recent phase of construction, approximately 50% of the campus has been converted with plans to continue to convert the rest of the campus in the coming years.  

We encourage you to view the attached video to learn more about the planning and design processes undertaken and the leading-edge technologies being implemented.
