This book was written specifically for churches and schools. It is short, concise, and easy to understand. Every pastor or principal who follows even a few suggestions can expect to reduce their energy expenses. Author Dave Troesch’s own parish was able to save over $6,100 annually in electricity costs alone. He gives ideas on how to create the most important element of a successful environmental upgrade—an enthusiastic, management-backed Green Team.

After reducing a California grocery store’s annual energy expense by over $100,000, Dave Troesch applied the same simple ideas to his church. As a result, San Antonio de Padua Catholic Church in Anaheim Hills, California saved over $20,100 in 2010. His book is being distributed to all 288 parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to help reduce their energy expense.
