Energy Conservation in Religious Institutions

There are two dimensions to energy conservation: technological and human. It's been GreenFaith's experience that the human is by far the more important. Changing to Compact Fluorescent Bulbs Religious institutions can develop good energy habits and learn basic conservation skills, most of which are just good common sense. Often, our grandparents knew these skills, but they've fallen out of use over the past thirty years. And remember: the best energy technology does no good if the people who manage your facility don’t use and maintain it properly.

What follows are five steps your institution can take to foster energy conservation and the twelve priority measures to reduce energy consumption and pollution.
