  • Hawaii Guidelines for Energy Efficient Buildings

  • Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning
    Building commissioning is an important aspect of new construction projects as a process of ensuring that new buildings and their systems perform as designed.
    Unfortunately, most buildings have never gone through any type of commissioning or quality assurance process and are therefore performing well below their potential. Retro-commissioning is like a building "tune-up."
  • Energy Performance Contracting
    An Energy Performance Contract is an agreement between a building owner (or facilities manager) and a private energy services company (ESCO) that uses future energy savings to pay for the entire cost of a building’s electricity and energy efficiency retrofits.
    A building owner contracts with an ESCO, which then finances or arranges financing, designs, purchases, installs and maintains and energy saving equipment.
    The ESCO will also guarantee that the energy savings – which may be achieved through replacing lighting, electrical equipment, modifying or replacing boilers and chillers, installing modern energy management control systems, replacing motors, or other measures – will pay for all project costs.
