Public Arts ProgramsPowering the Future: Solar Energy at Brushwood
Join Dr. Ted Shieh of Illinois Clinicians for Climate Action and architect William Sturm for an engaging discussion on the growing role of solar energy in creating a healthier, more sustainable future.
How we power our buildings impacts the environment, which in turn, influences our health. This informative program will explore the wide-ranging benefits of solar power, including how it reduces carbon emissions, lowers energy costs, and increases energy resilience.
The presentation will also offer a behind-the-scenes look at Brushwood Center’s upcoming renovations and how solar power will be integrated into the project. Learn how the new system will support our commitment to environmental stewardship and human wellbeing, while serving as a living example of sustainable design in action.
Whether you’re curious about renewable energy, considering solar for your own property, or interested in the future of Brushwood Center, this program will provide valuable insights and an opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A with the presenters.
All are welcome.
