THE GREEN HOUSE HAWAII PROJECT
By Gail Suzuki-Jones



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Imagine a home designed to demonstrate energy and resource efficiency, water conservation, and non-toxic building principles, systems and products. This project is currently under way -- the Green House Hawaii Project has been exploring sustainable building technologies for the past two years.

A dedicated group of architects, artists, builders, designers, educators, suppliers and government agency representatives has been working together to promote the concepts of sustainable and energy-efficient building. The group has researched environmental demonstration projects, resource-efficient product directories, Web sites, local housing developments and recovered materials projects. Through the University of Hawaii School of Architecture, the project has received grants and support from the State Office of Solid Waste Management and the City and County Recycling Office.

Phase I is complete. It is an exhibit of building materials and systems designed to promote an awareness of the resource-efficient, water-conserving and waste-reducing products and systems currently available or under consideration for the next project phases.

Phase II is under way and will result in construction of a kitchen and bath module incorporating these resource-efficient products and systems. Phase III will be the construction of a mobile demonstration house and the production of an educational brochure and video.

Phase IV will build upon-the research of earlier phases to develop an Advanced Building Technologies Program to train design and construction professionals in resource-efficient building practices.

The Green House Hawaii Project is a professional team effort to promote resource-efficient building products and practices in Hawaii and other Pacific islands. For more information call Gail Suzuki-Jones at 524-0620.
