The often forgotten, but equally important, Hawai’i and U.S. Territories region has great opportunities to make energy efficiency improvements through codes. Join this group to help the territories learn from Hawai’i on the development, adoption, and enforcement of building energy codes through the sharing of resources and discussions.

This report describes results of a study to check levels of energy code enforcement/compliance on the islands of Oahu and Hawaii. This study reviews 32 building plans for projects that received permits after the revised building codes were adopted. These 32 include 21 in Honolulu and 11 in Hawaii County. Eighteen are new construction, and 14 are renovations or tenant improvements. Field inspections were not performed in this study.
This document breaks down the associated costs for important state-led activities which support energy code compliance over a 3 year period, distinuishing between small, medium, and large states.
This document takes a look at valuable state-led activities which support energy code compliance and identifies average associated costs over a 3 year period.
Residential-type ENERGY STAR windows are a good choice for saving energy in single family and many multifamily buildings. However, structural, safety and façade design considerations in mid- and high-rise buildings often call for commercial-type windows which are not part of the ENERGY STAR program. This fact sheet summarizes the issues of specifying energy efficient windows in mid- and high-rise residential buildings, and provides recommended U-factor and SHGC values for a few design scenarios.
