  • The Greening of Balboa Park: a Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model
    The Greening of Balboa Park: A Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model Julieann Summerford, Heschong Mahone Group, Inc. Risa Baron, San Diego Gas & Electric Company Anna Stark, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Rory Ruppert, Balboa Park Cultural Partnership David McGrew, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center ABSTRACT Developed for the 1915 Panama Exposition, Balboa Park now houses more than two dozen major museums, performing arts organizations, gardens, and the San Diego Zoo. Located on over 1200 acres of land with over a million square feet of property, Balboa Park is one of the nation’s largest urban cultural centers, attracting more than 6.5 million visitors annually from around the world. Through recent collaborative efforts, Balboa Park is poised to become a national model for cultural institutions and urban parks to achieve environmental sustainability. In 2008 the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership established a Park-wide sustainability program that includes 26 cultural institutions, the City of San Diego, San Diego Gas & Electric, and many other community stakeholders. Designed to be a replicable model, the Partnership’s goals are the creation and alignment of sustainable business practices; the identification of, and communication with, key internal and external stakeholders; and the education of visitors, employees, stakeholders, and the public. All sustainability initiatives and results are benchmarked, measured and quantified—a vital component for measuring its carbon footprint and aligning with the state’s plan for energy efficiency. The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (BPCP) has become the first network of cultural institutions in the country to benchmark the energy performance of its buildings using the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.

  • Facts & Statistics About the Project
    1 Hubble’s 15th Anniversary – Facts about the ESA project Introduction 24 April 2005 marked the 15th anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. As an observatory in space, Hubble is a major project that has made an enormous impact both in terms of scientific output and in its immediate public appeal. Hubble has exploited its unique scientific capabilities in regions where no other instruments can compete. The telescope consistently delivers super-sharp images and clean, uncontaminated spectra over the entire near-infrared to ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has opened up new scientific territory and has resulted in many paradigm-breaking discoveries. Exquisite quality images have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects. Hubble has provided a visual overview of the underlying astrophysical processes taking place in these objects, ranging from planets in our Solar System to galaxies in the young Universe. The renowned British astronomer Malcolm Longair writes in the preface to ESA’s anniversary book: ”The Hubble Space Telescope has undoubtedly had a greater public impact than any other space astronomy mission ever. The images included in this beautiful volume are quite staggering in the detail they reveal about the Universe we live in and have already become part of our common scientific and cultural heritage.” The project Many people agree that the long-term well-being and cultural development of European citizens depends on research and technological development. Information about science and scientists is a vital component of the scientific process, but the competition for attention in today’s mass-media market is fierce.
