Church cuts energy costs, Mount Washington United Methodist Church cuts cost by 25 percent
From Cincinatti.com December 16, 2010.
“Mount Washington United Methodist Church expects to cut its energy use by more than 25 percent after completing a $40,000 energy efficiency program, the first nonprofit to complete the new program offered by the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance.
The nonprofit alliance, which has support from seven local governments in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, has embarked on a wide-ranging effort to increase the energy efficiency of homes and businesses across the region and create several hundred jobs in the process. Earlier this year the alliance received a $17 million grant, one of just 25 nationally by the Department of Energy’s Retrofit Ramp-up program to encourage community-based energy retrofits.
With a $21,200 grant from the Energy Alliance, the church on Corbly Road was able to complete the $40,200 project that including replacing 125 light fixtures with more efficient fluorescent light, replace a twelve year old boiler with a 96 percent efficient one, and exchanging outdated air conditioner equipment. The work was done by Monroe Mechanical.”
