Schaumberg IL District Energy System Zoning

Schaumburg, IL explicitly encourages the safe, effective, and efficient development of district energy systems (DESs) in its zoning code, permitting both commercial and residential construction of DESs in all village zoning districts. Schaumburg also reduces barriers by providing clear guidelines for construction of DES, allowing the network of conduit piping to be placed either within easements on a lot or within a vehicular right-of-way.
