Understanding energy usage in churches and schools
Businesses and nonprofit organizations have unique energy needs. Schools typically use most of their energy on weekdays when classrooms are full of kids and teachers. They also rely on a large amount of electricity for heating, cooling, ventilation, and to power computers and other electronic devices for students. Similarly, churches require reliable electricity to heat or cool the building and provide lighting during services and other programs like community activities and events.
The amount of energy used by your school or church will also depend on the size of your building, how many rooms it has, how many people use it, and other factors. Call the number on your screen to connect with one of our energy experts about a commercial energy plan tailored to your needs.
