“Working with 5 has enabled us to not only save a significant amount of money but our partnership has moved us forward in responding to the Pope’s call to be better stewards of the environment and take action against the degradation of the environment and climate change.”

Energy advice and strategy for religious organizations

Worship services, community programs, classes, and overnight activities can create different energy needs across your buildings. Planning those expenses means accounting for operating schedules, seasonal usage, and maintenance or expansion projects.

5 reviews your energy usage, bills, and contracts to recommend purchasing strategies and prepare budgets. We also help evaluate efficiency projects, financing options, and available rebates so your team can make informed decisions about facility spending.

How we help

  • Energy purchasing and budgeting: Review electricity and natural gas agreements and prepare budgets based on usage history, contract terms, and expected operating changes.

  • Efficiency review and planning: Identify opportunities for further assessment and help prioritize improvements based on facility needs and project economics.

  • Project financing and rebates: Help evaluate financing options and assist with rebate processing for eligible projects.

  • Facility portfolio management: Coordinate energy planning as your organization adds locations or changes how buildings are used.

  • Construction and service coordination: Work with utilities and project teams to plan energy service for new facilities and assist with move-in and move-out requests.

  • Tax rebate review: Help identify potential energy-related tax rebates and the requirements for pursuing them.

  • Sustainability: Help develop, implement, and communicate a sustainability strategy that reflects your organization’s goals.
