ETC | Partners Program

Colleague Centers

We endeavor to support the work of other centers dedicated to the principles of environmental sustainability, particularly, as it relates to the areas of sustainable building design, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. Below you will find weblinks to the activites of other "sister" centers. Creating an environmentally sustainble society requires the efforts of all of us. Many hands make for light work.

Pacific Energy Center: The PG&E Pacific Energy Center offers educational programs, design tools, advice, and support to create energy efficient buildings and comfortable indoor environments. Most of our efforts are focused around commercial buildings, however, other departments offer advice and information for residential buildings. http://www.pge.com/pec/
