This fall, the members of Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ (UCC) in Arlington voted with overwhelming support to approve the church's plan to become a Net Zero congregation. The church recognizes the call of this moment to address climate change in transformative ways.
Rock Spring's plan includes insulation improvements, solar power installation, window upgrades, and automation. The plan was developed through a process of careful study and evaluation, including The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) studies. It is being financed through the savings in energy costs and a loan from the church's endowment. Rock Spring has been spending over $37,000/year on utility costs, and estimates are that this will decrease to around $5,000/year once solar installation is complete.
Join us to discuss this project and hear how you can do the same in your community. Hear from Rock Spring members Jerry Hartz and Peter Geiger, who worked with our Green Accelerator Project (GAP) and Property Board to lead this work, and from Associate Pastor Rev. Laura Martin, who collaborated on the project, and get your own questions answered.
