The Stewardship of the Environment Committee (SEC) has released an informational video with exciting news about Ground Sourced Heat Pumps – also known as Geothermal Energy – and how they could be installed in your church.
The SEC is recommending that all churches in the Diocese move to Geothermal energy sources to replace current fossil fuel heating systems (oil, natural gas) in order to meet the goal set at Diocesan Synod in June, 2023 – that all buildings have zero emissions by 2030 at the latest.
There are new grants available covering up to 75% of the costs for such projects, which can also apply to homes, making this type of conversion extremely attractive.
The presentation includes details about how the systems work, the potential costs and savings, plus other advantages, such as air conditioning and savings in domestic hot water heating. The SEC is offering this presentation to deaneries and interested parties within the Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
