The Challenge

The Problem of Energy Waste

The EPA estimates that Americans waste about 30 percent of the energy that goes to our buildings. Houses of worship alone spend over $4 million a year to heat, cool, and power some of the most underused, energy-consuming commercial spaces in the U.S.

This is a waste of the resources that produce our energy, is harmful to the environment, and misdirects money that should be spent on our organizations' true purposes.

The Answer

Our Solution

We’re here to change that. We help houses of worship, educational institutions and non-profits save money on energy so they can invest in their missions.

Our energy audits are based on the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) professional standards. Ten percent of wasted energy is recoverable with only minor energy management improvements, and an energy audit is the best way to start.

Know Your Energy Use

Perform an ASHRAE Level I or II Energy Study to benchmark your facility's efficiency and uncover exact sources of waste.

Manage Your Energy

Set up continuous monthly energy management to optimize systems, track long-term utility savings, and maintain efficiency.

Our Vision

How We Use Energy for Greater Good

Church facility maintenance costs regularly outpace budgets on their missions. We want to reverse this trend.

We believe the U.S. church can save at least 20% on yearly energy costs, freeing it to invest these wasted funds into meaningful missions. The local church is both a place to foster stewardship and to extend mercy, and even an energy management plan can do that.

Motivated by Jesus' commands to love our neighbor and honor God with the gifts we've been given, we combine energy stewardship with service to some of the most marginalized around the world.
