The Diocese of Bath and Wells, with the Church of England, has set itself the target of achieving net zero carbon (CO2e) by 2030. In order to achieve thisthe diocese needs to track its progress, by measuring churches’ use of energy. The EFT is key to achieving that. Most churches’ emissions come from energy used by their buildings (mainly electric and gas for light and heat). Using the data collected from each church through the EFT, helps calculate not only the individual church emissions of CO2e, but also gives us a diocesan wide indicator too.
50% of churches in our diocese filled out the EFT last year and we are hoping even more will be complete it this year.
Filling out the Energy Footprint Tool (EFT) may seem like an overwhelming process - this guide is designed to illustrate just how easy it is to complete.
In the video below Dan shares a step-by-step guide to filling out the EFT online. From the bottom of the page you can download a word version of Dan's guide.
