Hi Charity,

OMSI is just at the beginning of an NSF-funded project (of which I'm an advisor to) regarding sustainable design and the development of a set of standards/guidelines for green exhibits/museums.

In addition to the resources Eric mentioned, I would commend to your attention this interview with Tim McNeil from UC Davis:
<http://blog.orselli.net/2008/03/green-exhibit-design-interview-with-tim.html>

In the interview, Tim lists some really great resources (with links!) related to sustainability and green design for museums including his Green Design Wiki: <http://www.greendesignwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page>

We are searching for other museums of a similar size (1 million visitors per year, 480,000 sq.ft., etc.) who are also actively engaging in sustainability efforts, who may be able to offer advice or resources that will help us along our way.
