What Will Drive Green in Hawaii—USA
USA…USA…USA. This chant can be the rallying cry for fans of the Olympics, the World Cup and … sustainable building.
One of the biggest factor in the future growth of the sustainable building industry in Hawaii is the federal government.
1) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act invested more than $25 billion in sustainable buildings.
2) The Government Services Administration (GSA) requires all federal government agencies to meet sustainability goals, including increasing water and energy efficiency and diverting waste and construction materials from landfills.
3) The GSA requires that all new federal construction projects and substantial renovations must acquire LEED Silver certification.
4) The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that LEED for Neighborhood Development will be applied to the evaluation process in awarding $3.25 billion in Sustainable Communities Planning grant funds.
Hawaii is beginning to realize the effects of the federal government’s investment in sustainability. At least 44 of the projects registered with the United States Green Building Council to achieve LEED certification are federal government projects.
