BPU staff recently toured the First Baptist Church of Wildwood (FBCW) which showcased the facility’s energy efficiency upgrades, including modernizing HVAC and other equipment. The energy efficiency improvements from the FBCW project are forecasted to result in significant annual fuel savings of 6,096 therms and yearly electric savings of 5,280 kWh.
“Participating in the Direct Install Energy Efficiency Program has been a real blessing for our church,” said FBCW Trustee Bob McLaughlin. “The program has allowed us to create a more comfortable and sustainable environment for our congregation while saving energy and money at the same time.”
The church has been a cornerstone of the Wildwood community for over a century. More than just a place of worship for their own parishioners, the church also supports the surrounding community, such as the Lazarus House, Habitat for Humanity and Family Promise.
“The anticipated cost savings spurred by this upgrade is expected to help ensure the First Baptist Church of Wildwood can continue playing an integral role as a staple in their community for years to come,” said NJBPU President Christine Guhl-Sadovy. “We’ve worked hard to create a robust portfolio of cost saving energy efficiency programs, and I’m thrilled to see a community staple like them take advantage of these programs.”
