Cool Congregations/IPL Self-Audit

Kansas Interfaith Power & Light Self-Audit

Thinking about doing an audit on your congregation in preparation for energy efficiency retrofits and/or solar energy? You have several options: check with your local utility company to see if they provide audits (just call the number listed on your utility bill;) hire a professional auditor; or conduct a do-it-yourself audit. The latter is especially effective if you have an energy professional in your congregation. And some congregations choose to do types of audits in order to be thorough.

If you choose to do your own audit and/or want to educate yourself about the audit process, check out IPL’s Cool Congregations or Kansas IPL’s or audit form. Please note that there may be items in these audits that are region-specific depending on differences in weather. As mentioned, it is best to do a self-audit with someone who is well-versed in the energy field.
