PACIFIC ENERGY CENTER AND MOSCONE CENTER SOLAR ELECTRIC SYSTEM Monday 12/3 Meet at the downtown Palo Alto train station on the platform 15 minutes before the train departs. Northbound train: Departs 7:06 am. Take the Baby Bullet express train to 4th and King. This trip involves a train ride to San Francisco and then a 20 minute walk to the Pacific Energy Center (created by PG&E) located at 851 Howard, near Moscone Center. The Center is a hands on learning center primarily for design and building professionals (architects, engineers, building maintenance managers, lighting designers, etc.) to inform them about energy efficiency. We will be given a tour of the Center's Lighting Lab, heliodon, and other learning tools, and we will have time to spend experimenting ourselves in the area set up for teaching residential customers (such as ourselves) about energy efficiency. Our guide is Ryan Stroupe. After touring the Pacific Energy Center, we will proceed on to Moscone Center, where a representative from the Vote Solar Initiative will provide an overview of the City's first major solar electric initiative for a public building. Students will see a 60,000 square foot photovoltaic array and learn about other energy efficient measures taken at the Center as part of the project. This impressive initiative received a 2004 Green Power Leadership Award, sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. Members of the tour will then walk quickly back to the train station to catch the 11:37 train back to Palo Alto.
