Energy Curtailment Event Tomorrow

Willis Tower, along with many commercial office buildings throughout the city of Chicago, will participate in an Energy Curtailment Event tomorrow, Wednesday August 11th. A curtailment is a limit placed on electrical use during peak consumption periods. The Event is designed to help manage demand for electricity when temperatures are highest by reducing energy consumption during a specified time.

The curtailment period will begin at 12:15 pm and continue through 2 pm. During this time, Willis Tower hopes to reduce power usage by shutting off or lowering non-essential common area and lobby lighting, reducing the temperature of hot water throughout the building and raising the temperature of outside air distributed through the building’s HVAC system. Clients at OfficeLinks Willis Tower location may feel the effects of our reduced electrical usage in the form of a slight degree increase in the temperature in your space, cooler water available from kitchen and restroom faucets and reduced lighting throughout the common areas of the building.

The team at OfficeLinks is delighted to support and applaud Willis Tower in their efforts to curtail energy usage in our building.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Building at 312.875.0066.
