More about the project

After an extremely successful fundraising effort for its geothermal installation project, the Pleasant Hill Community Church, United Church of Christ in Pleasant Hill, Tenn. is ready to tackle its next green project.

 

The church is now raising money for solar control low-emissivity (low-e) glass to install in its windows and doors. This type of glass is spectrally selective, which means it reduces the amount of heat transferred through the windows and minimizes the effect of outdoors temperatures on the building's interior. 

 

This project is expected to save the church $41,877 and 577,368 lbs of carbon over its lifetime. Combined with the geothermal installation, that is a total of $142,397 and 2,386,728 lbs of carbon saved by this church's green energy projects.

NGE has been a wonderful partner to help us achieve success in installing "green" projects in our building expansion. Thank you.

I am presently the Moderator of the Pleasant Hill Community Church. We are about to finish a rather extensive remodelling and addition to the church building. Early on the congregation made the decision to go "green" wherever possible. To that end we have installed a geothermal heating/cooling system. We installed energy efficient windows and generally have had the building designed to be as energy efficient as possible.

Saving energy saves lives and saves resources. The energy efficient windows allows us to enjoy the out of doors while enjoying the comfort of a controlled environment.
