Energy conservation
The Church of Scotland has taken a leading role in the energy
conservation field and the General Trustees offer subsidies
to encourage congregations to obtain a survey from their heating
consultant.
In addition, the trustees have negotiated arrangements in consultation
with their energy consultant, Argyle Energy, which have in many
instances resulted in substantial savings in costs to congregations
for gas and electricity supplies.
For further information, please contact
Robert Lindores by email here.
