10/25, sure would be good to have a rep there

Again, sorry but I am committed and cannot attend this important learning program. Wish someone could/would.

Georgia Interfaith Power & Light invites you to participate in our Energy Star Training Program for Congregations on October 25!

Join us for a training session with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star for Congregations Program to learn how to measure and reduce your congregation’s carbon footprint. The program will be held at 7 pm on Thursday, October 25 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (www.uuca.org). This program is especially helpful for congregations who have had or plan to have an energy audit or assessment of their facilities, as it will help you track the progress you are making in reducing your energy use.

Your congregation can be a front runner in energy efficiency by measuring your carbon footprint with Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager Program. Portfolio Manager is an online data management tool that helps track and measure your building’s energy use. Portfolio Manager can calculate the energy intensity and associated carbon emissions of a particular building while taking into account changes in weather. Once a baseline is established in Portfolio Manager you can calculate the percent energy use reduction to track progress towards your goals. Help your congregation measure your current energy use and track improvements as you become more efficient!

Please plan to attend or to send someone from your congregation to attend this valuable training session!

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta is located at 1911 Cliff Valley Way, NE, Atlanta, GA 30329.

Feel free to call or e-mail us if you have questions!
