Exploratorium achieves historic goal of net zero energy operations

Press release from the Exploratorium:

“The Exploratorium now generates as much or more energy than it uses on an annual basis at its 220,000-square foot headquarters at Pier 15.[…]

‘Cultural institutions have a mission-driven responsibility to limit negative impacts while modeling thoughtful, responsible behavior,’ said Mischa Egolf, technical associate at the New Buildings Institute, a partner of the Culture Over Carbon project. ‘Cultural institutions like the Exploratorium that commit to minimizing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to the well-being of the communities they serve, especially given the unique challenges cultural institutions face.'”
