Making Church Buildings Creation-Friendly

7/27/2015

Catholic News Service reports that, in response to Pope Francis encyclical, the Archdiocese of Chicago is benchmarking all 2,700 buildings of its buildings for sustainability goals.  They will seek to evaluate and optimize for their water usage, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions.  Chicago parishes who already performed this work have found that financial savings come along with this work.

But you don't have to be in the Chicago Archdiocese to make your parish or school buildings more environmentally friendly.  The book 77 Ways to Save Money and Energy at Your School or Parish steps you through the process.
