Power is a management-owned commercial construction company that focuses on the greater Chicago metro area. This local focus helps to ensure that our people are able to be home with family and friends each night.

Solar technologies can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use.

Wind energy is rapidly expanding, and the many benefits of wind power over other types of energy explain why. Let's get a big picture look at wind energy before outlining why wind power is, frankly, better than the alternatives, including other types of alternative energy.

Green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae and geothermal heat. These energy resources are renewable, meaning they're naturally replenished.

Hydraulic power, also called Fluid Power, power transmitted by the controlled circulation of pressurized fluid, usually a water-soluble oil or water glycol mixture, to a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load.

Ethanol is a particulate-free burning fuel source that combusts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water and aldehydes. The Clean Air Act requires the addition of oxygenates to reduce carbon monoxide emissions in the United States.

Hydroelectric power is produced with moving water At hydropower plants water flows through a pipe, or penstock, then pushes against and turns blades in a turbine to spin a generator to produce electricity. Run-of-the-river systems, where the force of the river's current applies pressure on a turbine.

A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power. In most, a steam-driven turbine converts heat to mechanical power as an intermediate to electrical power.

Biomass power is carbon neutral electricity generated from renewable organic waste that would otherwise be dumped in landfills, openly burned, or left as fodder for forest fires. When burned, the energy in biomass is released as heat.

Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
