Swap the reachable lighting at Friendship Baptist Church to LED

Fellowship halls, classrooms, and offices at older church campuses commonly still run fluorescent tubes and incandescent fixtures that cost three times what LED does. Swapping every fixture reachable without tall ladders cuts the light bill immediately and permanently. This is the first doing rung from the campus audit list. Standard: ENERGY STAR lighting retrofit guidance; SDG 7.3. Proof: Before/after fixture photos plus swap count Method (ENERGY STAR lighting retrofit guidance; SDG 7.3.): 1. Work from the audit list with the facilities host and confirm fixture counts and lamp types. 2. Replace lamps and screw-in fixtures reachable from the floor or a step platform under 6 ft with LED equivalents. 3. Label bypassed or ballast-dependent fixtures for an electrician's visit rather than opening them. 4. Test every swapped fixture and record the count. 5. Photograph representative before/after fixtures and the count sheet with GPS and date. Done when: Before/after fixture photos plus swap count

Pay

$380 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after fixture photos plus swap count

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• tape measure
• light meter (lighting scope)
• clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
• 12-month utility bills
• camera
• ladder + spotter (high fixtures)

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Knob-and-tube, ungrounded or overheated wiring, scorched outlets, or a hot electrical panel -> STOP: do not operate the circuit; route to a licensed electrician and restrict use (NEC / fire hazard).
• Gas odor, or a combustion appliance with absent/blocked venting (backdrafting / CO risk) -> STOP: evacuate, ventilate, call the gas utility. The agent escalates, never relights or adjusts gas.
• Any live-electrical/gas hazard -> document, do not touch, flag for a licensed pro.
• Refrigeration unit out of food-safe range -> flag as both energy and food-safety risk.
• Suspected asbestos/lead in materials -> flag and stop.

What counts as done

• System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment
• 12-month utility use summary recorded
• In-scope measurements recorded with units
• Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
