ENERGY STAR for CONGREGATIONS


The Environmental Protection Agency offers a host of resources for congregations that seek to exercise stewardship of their energy use under a program called "Energy Star for Congregations." Most congregations can cut energy costs by up to 30% by investing strategically in efficient equipment, facility upgrades and maintenance. With free, unbiased information and technical support from ENERGY STAR, your congregation can more easily improve stewardship of your budget’s energy dollars, and of the earth by reducing energy waste and energy costs, while protecting the environment.
Materials provided by the EPA are especially helpful for congregations entering a building or remodeling program, but excellent resources are also available to help educate your members in proper stewardship of energy in their own homes. CLICK HERE to be connected to the site.
