$50K boost for energy efficiency projects at UH Mānoa

UH Mānoa’s Green Revolving Fund has received $50,000 through the Ulupono Fund at the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation.

A bidirectional electric vehicle charging project by the UH Mānoa Hawaiʻi Natural Energy Institute is available to employees.

The State of Hawaiʻi currently has a goal of sequestering more greenhouse gas annually than amounts emitted no later than 2045.

Through this grant, UH will launch three new programs this year—Hacking4X, Patents2Products and Faculty Fellows.

This project will help UH reach its energy and sustainability goals while providing a new revenue stream to support higher education.

Each PV system is designed to accommodate four people with four waterproof AC outlets, four wireless charging stations and lighting.

ʻIole is a nonprofit place-based research center and living scientific laboratory in Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island.

Tens of millions of dollars in the new federal budget will help fund many University of Hawaiʻi programs and projects.

The report concludes, “We all want solar power to succeed but it requires planning rather than reacting.”

UHERO found significant differences among counties, as well as between households with or without PV systems.
