The tour series organized by the Energy Club provides members and affiliates with the opportunity to visit a variety of facilities related in some way to energy. These tours often overlap with the other activities provided by the club to help reinforce a particular speaker lecture or discussion topic. These tours are great ways to see and learn about energy-related projects/activities first-hand.
Past tours have included opportunities to visit working nuclear power and coal power plants in Seabrook, New Hampshire, and Brayton Point in Massachusetts as well as the Hull wind turbine. Closer to MIT/Boston, we have visited the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter, a green building with Platinum LEED certification, explored EnerNOC's Network Operations, and visited the MIT Cogeneration Facility on campus.
We are also open to looking into tours of any facilities that members or affiliates have interest in, so be sure to contact us with your ideas. To suggest a tour, or if you're interested in hosting a relevant tour, please feel free to contact the Tour Coordinator, Nwike Iloeje.
