Using Organisations
- If your church has one main meeting place and no additional buildings, the church itself is the only organisation that you need.
- If your church has a meeting place and additional buildings there are two options. Which option you choose will also depend on how you have set up your groups:
- The organisation is the church and each building (e.g. Main Building, Church Hall and Minister's House) is simply added to the organisation:
This approach means that only in the Energy section is it possible to track per-building footprints.
- Or, each building can be its own organisation. In this case you would have a single “Main Building”:
This would mean that you can track the footprint of each building across all calculator categories (Energy, Travel, Food, Expenditure, and Waste & Water).
