Good Morning,

The Brooklyn Navy Yard is creating an Exhibition Center which  
celebrates the rich history and industry of the Navy Yard.  Over the  
last few years, the Yard has become a national model for sustainable  
industrial parks (the Yard was decommissioned in 1966 and soon after  
became an industrial park).  There will be a "Green Room" as part of  
the Exhibition Center (though I'm slowly trying to change the name of  
it!) which highlights how the Yard is green, the growing green  
manufacturers in the Yard, the sustainability initiatives we've  
implemented including the first solar-power trash compactors, the  
nation's first building mounted wind turbines, wind/solar street  
lamps, geothermal,  adaptive reuse of historic structures and  
infrastructure upgrades to water, sewer and electric lines.

We'd like to develop an exhibit that demonstrates how we've reduced  
our footprint in an interactive and highly visual way.  We have an  
exhibit designer but we need to determine a few things:

1- how do we measure what we've done already and how that will play  
itself out over the next 10 years or so
2- What are some existing exhibits that interpret energy use,  
geothermal power, etc that we could visit

Thank you all for your feedback (and for reading this long mail!)

I'd be happy to chat with anyone further about the project

Regards,
Aisha
