Please send at least one representative from your participating faith community for this important introductory workshop.
We will educate and engage the faith communities participating in the 2024 Energy Efficiency Initiative by providing access to expert guidance. Attendees will participate in round-table discussions with experts on energy audits, forming green teams, replacing lighting fixtures, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, insulation, solar, and provide resources for funding. Presenters include Pastor Damon Lynch III, Sr. Cj Willie, Ken Wright, Andy Holzhauser, and Flequer Vera. Our new Program Manager, Cheryl Hutchins, will MC the event.
Benefits of energy efficient buildings include savings from lower utility bills to use for your faith’s main mission, create a healthier interior, and reduced pollution emissions that adversely affect the climate, a win-win for us all.
Presented by the FCGG Facilities Working Group
on January 31 @ 7:00-8:00 pm
Now more than ever, it’s vital to reduce the carbon footprint of our worship facilities. Hear stories from three people who succeeded in getting solar installations on their religious facilities. Learn how they did it, how much it cost, where the money came from, and when they will see the return on their investment. How did they get members and leaders of their congregation to agree and support the idea? How much CO2 emissions will be reduced by their effort? Bring your questions and curiosity. Ever wonder if you can inspire your congregation to embrace the idea of solar installation for your religious facility? Find out how you too can put solar on your house of worship.
