Chicago Buildings with Geothermal Heat Pumps

These buildings use geothermal heat pump systems, which leverage the earth's stable underground temperature to heat and cool the building more efficiently than conventional HVAC systems.

Note: Data From Large Buildings in 2023

Note: This data only includes buildings whose emissions are reported under the Chicago Energy Benchmarking Ordinance. According to the City “As of 2016, this list includes all commercial, institutional, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet.”

The latest year of data is from 2023, but we update the site regularly when new data is available, and some buildings may have failed to report that year, and only have older data available.

Additionally, note that all tons specified are metric tons.
