Jacobs Ladder Energy is a joint venture firm created by two national experts in energy efficiency and renewable energy focused on the special needs of houses of worship. We serve as a guide and “owner’s rep” so that congregations of any religion or denomination can receive professional guidance on options, decision-making, vender election, specifications writing, and financing a broad portfolio of clean energy options to save money, provide more reliable energy, and reduce emissions. We are not tied to any technology or vendor but are knowledgeable on the complete clean energy portfolio: batteries and controls, energy efficiency and combined heat & power (chp), fuel cells, geo-exchange (geothermal heat pumps), heat engines, minigeneration (natural gas/propane), microhydropower and water energy (freeflow, tidal, & wave, etc.), modular biomass/biofuels, photovoltaics, small wind, and solar thermal (including daylighting, water heating, industrial preheat, building air-conditioning, and electric power generation).
