EPA Announces Houses of Worship Can Now Earn Energy Star Label and Reduce Their Carbon Footprint
Approximately 370,000 can track their energy use
WASHINGTON– America’s houses of worship can now earn the Energy Star label, joining the nation’s schools, hospitals, hotels, and other facilities in their efforts to fight climate change, save energy and reduce their carbon footprint. EPA’s energy tracking tool, Portfolio Manager, currently allows facilities to track energy use and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, set targets for investment priorities and verify efficiency improvements. Now the estimated 370,000 houses of worship across the United States can use Portfolio Manager to receive an energy performance rating, and the most energy efficient among them can earn the Energy Star label.
Worship facilities in the United States spend more than $3 billion annually on energy costs. Improving the energy efficiency of America’s houses of worship by just 10 percent would save nearly 2 billion kilowatt-hours each year, preventing more than 1 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions and representing a cost savings of about $315 million annually.
Through Energy Star, EPA provides a proven energy management strategy and free tools for public and private organizations to save energy and money through increased energy efficiency. EPA has also made additional enhancements to its tools including the ability to specify on-site green power generation and use. This feature provides a better assessment of a building’s actual energy efficiency and a more complete picture of associated carbon emissions.

The Rev. Ilse Junkermann was installed as the Bishop of the Evangelical Church of Middle Germany (EKM) at the Magdeburg Cathedral on August 29.
John Deckenback greeted the new Bishop with gifts -- a red Washington Nationals baseball cap and a "hope lives" T-shirt.
The Central Atlantic Conference and the EKM (previously known as KPS) have enjoyed a special partnership for nearly two decades. Bishop Junkermann has been invited to visit CAC next year. She is the first female bishop to serve in what was once a part of East Germany. (posted 9/9/09)
