Buildings are one of the largest sources of climate change pollution, and high gas prices have fueled skyrocketing utility bills. Now is an important time for places of worship to make the switch to renewable energy and for clean electricity for heating and cooling.
Hear a panel recorded Oct. 2, 2023 at First Universalist Church of Denver about how places of worship can address urgent climate issues and reduce pollution and their energy bills, by adding solar panels and clean energy heating and cooling recently made more affordable through state and federal funding, credits and rebates.
It’s also shown how the First Universalist Church of Denver made the switch to solar and geothermal (ground source) heat pumps for their heating and cooling and almost all of their electricity needs.
