EcoChurch Resourcing: EcoChurch drop-in with sustainable heating demo

In this Eco-Church resourcing event, with Matt Fulford (DAC sustainability advisor) and Cate Williams (Environmental Engagement Officer) are looking forward to you joining them to demonstrate different solutions they have used to achieve net zero and answer questions about technical aspects of reducing carbon usage in church buildings.

This is free of charge.  45 minutes sessions run from 3:30pm – 6:30pm and it would be useful to know how many people will be attending.  To book your place please click here.

Venue: Holy Trinity, Stroud is a carbon net zero building. Matt, along with members of the local church project team, will demonstrate the different solutions they have used in order to achieve this. In this building, which is a 600 seater grade II listed building, an old gas boiler has been replaced with a mix of under pew heating and a halo infrared heater, both reducing carbon footprint and reducing the weekly bills by £100 to just £22. We hope that it will be a cold enough day to demonstrate how effective low carbon heating can be when designed well to fit the building. We will also be available for general conversation about sustainability and church buildings

Please arrive at any time and Cate will be around to chat, but we are encouraging you to wait until your booked time to join Matt’s demonstrations. Please contact Cate if you have any questions before the session.

While there is a focus in this drop-in on the ‘buildings’ heading of Eco-Church, Cate will be around for more general conversation across the breadth of EcoChurch.  Conversation, questions and celebrations, across all five categories of EcoChurch will be very much welcomed.

This session will be led by Cate Williams, our Environmental Engagement Officer and Matt Fulford our DAC Sustainability Advisor.
