We’re excited to launch Energize Delaware’s Pathways to Green Schools program with a special kickoff event:
Monday, September 21
4:30–7:00 PM
Mt. Cuba Center (3120 Barley Mill Rd, Hockessin, DE 19707)
The evening will begin with a 45-minute guided tour of Mt. Cuba Center’s innovative net-zero energy greenhouse and headhouse facilities, showcasing sustainable design features including:
– A 165 kW solar PV array on the headhouse roof and parking canopy that generates approximately 125% of the facility’s annual energy needs
– 42 geothermal wells thoughtfully integrated with native landscape plantings
– Energy-saving features such as efficient lighting, an insulated north wall, and insulated stem walls
– Durable, low-embodied-carbon building materials
– A rainwater harvesting system that supplies on-site irrigation

Following the tour, we’ll gather in one of Mt. Cuba’s historic dining rooms for dinner and brief presentations highlighting the many benefits of participating in the Pathways program.
As a thank you for attending, each participant will receive a $100 gift card.
We look forward to seeing you there!
