In the email from EPA a bit ago:
This year 3 out of 4 national 2009 ENERGY STAR Congregations awards were won by Baptist churches. One denomination has never "swept" the annual awards, and the explanation seems to be that there was extraordinary technical support by two ENERGY STAR affiliated private contractors, Siemens and Energy Education, Inc. who are working with Baptist churches. Many diverse denominations have won past year awards, which are also online at the awards webpage.
And dare I say it, the three bible belt Baptist congregations. Heh. Good on Siemens too.
EPA's official press release is here. Congregational winners' stories are here.
I'll bet Jon Merritt's a happy guy today.
