The program offers to congregation,s of any faith, information about ways to use energy in their worship, fellowship, education, health care, or other facilities. Arrange for an energy audit to develop a plan for investing in energy efficiency. Be sure to select an energy efficient model when buying new appliances, office equipment, or other energy saving products. Educate members of the congregation about the environmental impacts of energy use, and offer some suggested actions that individuals can take to reduce these impacts. If planning a renovation or addition, be sure energy conservation is incorporated into the design of the project.
Many congregations are already good energy stewards.
If yours is one, please participate so what you have accomplished and learned can be shared with other congregations. This is especially important if you have already worked with a professional energy consultant. Your experience will help the program better advise other congregations about qualified consultants in your region. You will be mailed an Energy Stewardship Guide for Congregations . The Guide recommends many steps you can take and resources you can draw on.
