Energy Footprint Tool

We are asking someone from every church to enter their energy information into the Energy Footprint Tool. 

The Energy Footprint Tool enables parishes to measure their annual Carbon emissions from churches, halls and other parish buildings.

When using the Tool, the parish will need to submit energy consumption and cost data each year and also to details of about any renewable energy installations or tariffs that are in place. The tool will then calculate the emissions for each parish and church. By filling it in your PCC will get a better understanding of your Carbon emissions and also the impact of any changes that are made and also enable the diocese and the National Church to understand emissions and therefore understand if we are reducing Carbon or if more support is needed. 

The Tool is accessed via the Online Parish Returns System at https://parishreturns.churchofengland.org/.

A short note on how to fill in the Tool is available (add link to pdf)

The Diocese of Manchester have produced a short YouTube video to help  you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyM5kpY1Ijs
