Environmental Awareness
At Fonthill United, one of the Christian values that influences our life together is our care of the environment. We have taken steps to make our building as energy efficient as we can. In the past few years we have installed a new energy efficient furnace, programmable thermostats to control heat distribution, energy efficient light fixtures, and four new thermopane windows. We have covered the stained glass windows to protect them and this has also reduced energy loss.
We are particularly proud of the solar panels on our roof. In 2011 we participated in Ontario Hydro’s MicroFit Program to generate up to 10 kilowatts of electricity. You can monitor the output of our solar panels by visiting this site: www.fonthilluc.solarvu.net. We hope that this project will stimulate discussion about our environmental responsibility and inspire people to reduce their carbon footprint in other ways.
