Rebuild Hawaii Goals and Objectives

Rebuild Hawaii Consortium's goals are to promote efficient resources utilization by identifying and leveraging statewide (and national) resources, creating community awareness, building partnerships, and employing innovative solutions to resolve resource efficiency issues.

To achieve these goals, the Rebuild Hawaii Consortium will:

  • Encourage initiatives that lower energy costs through cost-effective investments in energy-efficient technologies by working with government, ESCOs, community political leaders, and private industry.

  • Employ innovative solutions to resolve resource efficiency issues, using expertise from Rebuild America, the National Labs, and many other U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE) programs brought to the community partnerships through the Rebuild America program.

  • Identify and leverage statewide resources such as government, private sector, utility rebates, and national resources such as State Energy Program awards to achieve greater results at the local level of partnerships.

  • Build community partnerships by establishing rapport with communities and teaching them the many benefits of resource conservation, energy efficiency, and economic development.

  • Strengthen businesses by making them more efficient, competitive, and forward-looking with energy conservation and resource management.

  • Serve underserved markets in low-income single and multifamily housing and small business.

  • Greatly increase promotional efforts to publicize these actions, to demonstrate the benefits of energy efficiency, by using various message distribution vehicles appropriate to the audience, message, and external environment.
