FUUSM launched its solar energy project with the installation of its first array of solar panels in October 2016 on the roof of the sanctuary building on the corner of Third and Putnam Streets in Marietta, Ohio.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br> The RE building, the roof of which cannot accommodate solar panels, is estimated to be over 130 years old, and its aging structure is not well suited to energy efficiency for its current electrically based heating and air-conditioning system. At this point FUUSM would like to invest in efforts to make this historic building more energy efficient through the installation of wall insulation, double-pane windows, and a new electrical HVAC system for climate control.<br> To that end an anonymous donor has offered $10,000 as a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge grant. Approximately two thirds of the match already has been collected from other donors and through fund-raising activities by the congregation's Green Sanctuary Committee. FUUSM is seeking donations from Faithify donors and from people and organizations who support renewable energy in the greater Mid-Ohio Valley to complete this match. The anonymous donor set a deadline of April 22, 2018—Earth Day—to complete fund raising for this matching grant.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br> FUUSM is the first religious organization in the Mid-Ohio Valley to install solar panels and to utilize solar energy as its main source of electricity for its house of worship. Through its efforts of introducing renewable energy FUUSM is decreasing the carbon footprint of the city and serving as a model of responsible stewardship of the environment for the wider community. Because the solar array is “on the grid,” excess electricity generated on sunny days is sent into the system for use by other consumers. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br> The solar array was acquired by Golden Rule Associates LLC, an entity established by FUUSM member David Ballantyne; the reason for this method of acquisition is that as a private organization, Golden Rule is eligible for a 30 percent federal tax benefit for renewable energy infrastructure that a non-profit entity such as FUUSM is not.<br><br>--<br>George Banziger<br>202 Lawton Road<br>Marietta, OH 45750-1111<br>740-434-5685<br>cell: 740-434-3354<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Green mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Green@fuusm.org">Green@fuusm.org</a><br><a href="http://fuusm.org/mailman/listinfo/green_fuusm.org">http://fuusm.org/mailman/listinfo/green_fuusm.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">_______________________________________________<br>Green mailing list<br></span><a href="mailto:Green@fuusm.org"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Green@fuusm.org</span></a><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><br></span><a href="http://fuusm.org/mailman/listinfo/green_fuusm.org"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">http://fuusm.org/mailman/listinfo/green_fuusm.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
