GreenFaith is seeking up to 40 Diocese of Newark congregations which will form a 3‐5 person Energy Team to carry out the program during 2014. The cost of the program is $100. Congregations may choose to invest further funds to carry out retrofits of their facility. However, the program is designed to enable institutions to cut their energy use at least by 10% without any additional expenditure.
