As an organization dedicated to improving lung health worldwide, CHEST has long recognized the link between climate change, air quality and respiratory wellness. CHEST’s decision to invest in renewable energy reflects its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and leading by example in the health care community.
The 560-panel system is also supported by APsystems microinverters. The roof-mounted project is projected to generate approximately 341,000 kWh annually, offsetting nearly 30% of the 48,500-ft2 facility’s electricity use.
“The solar installation at CHEST headquarters reflects our continued commitment to social responsibility and to advancing lung health,” said Robert Musacchio, PhD, CEO of CHEST. “By lessening our reliance on conventional energy sources, we are addressing one of the leading contributors to air pollution, which is closely linked to respiratory disease.”
For Hardt Electric, the CHEST project represents more than a technical achievement — it reflects shared values. Both organizations are committed to sustainability, health, and building a cleaner future for communities in Chicago and beyond.
“CHEST is a leader in advocating for lung health, and this project demonstrates that their values extend beyond clinical care into environmental stewardship,” said Peter Hardt, President of Hardt Electric. “We’re proud to deliver an energy solution that supports their mission, supports a healthy environment, and offers an ROI that will help this organization focus funding that advances pulmonary health.”
