Baptist Churches of SA

Unley

Baptist Churches of SA are a movement of about 70 Christian communities in South Australia, and have strong links to the Australian and global Baptist movement as well as the wider Christian Church.

Sustainable Savings conducted an energy engineering study of Baptist Churches of SA’s Unley site with the goal of achieving a more manageable power bill.

A 30kW solar system and power factor correction were installed. While the recommended LED upgrade and air-con optimisation were earmarked for consideration at a later date.
