Green Energy Improvement, a Chicago area home performance improvement company, announced that its clients Jason Rosado and Jennifer Chhatlani recently received the first Energy Star Silver Certificate awarded in the city of Berwyn. Berwyn Mayor Robert Lovero issued an official proclamation honoring the couple.

To receive the award, Mr. Rosado and Ms. Chhatlani commissioned an energy audit and efficiency upgrades on their residence from Green Energy Improvement. The total air leakage rate was reduced 40 percent by the following improvements:

• Advanced air sealing with spray foam in the basement and perimeter walls
• Insulation installed in first floor basement perimeter walls and in the crawl space

According to the Illinois Energy Office, the improvements will save the couple an estimated $722 annually on their utility bills and reduce their energy consumption by 37 percent. “Berwyn is proud to have residents like Jason and Jennifer who are leading the way to a more environmentally conscientious future,” said Mayor Lover.
