The Hawaii Energy Code (HEC) adopted the 2015 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2013 with amendments by the State Building Council on July 14, 2015. The HEC must be adopted separately by the four counties. State law (Act 164, 2014), requires that if the counties do not adopt HEC by 2017, the HEC becomes the interim code for the counties.

2015 IECC with Amendments:

- Sub-metering in new buildings with tenant spaces > 1,000 square feet - In-room energy management systems, Section C405.2.4 amended to apply to: all hotels, motels, and time-share condominiums, include ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, include requirement for a mechanism that shuts off the HVAC for the room when exterior doors to the room are open. - Alternatives for wall insulation will be permitted depending upon the assembly type and exterior shading.

All Homes:

- Domestic water heating - a solar energy source must apply > 90% of the energy for service water heating

- Fenestration shading options

- Ceiling fan rough-ins for all major living spaces

- Points-based option for prescriptive approach per Section R402.1, allows trade-offs for reduction in wood and steel frame wall and roof insulation. Each of the options indicated in Table 11 is worth approximately 1% energy increase or decrease and is based on the analysis performed for other options per Section 6.2.3 of the Determination Analysis Report.

Less than 50% Cooled Homes (Tropical Homes)

- Increased attic/roof insulation minimum requirements to R-13 and cool roof.

- Fenestration products must meet Window Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.25 (refer to Section 6.2.2.2)

- Air sealing for all assemblies between conditioned and unconditioned space

- 1.2 cfm/ft2 air leakage allowance of jalousie windows per Section R402.4.3

- Points-based option for prescriptive approach (Section R402.1). Points options are fewer for naturally ventilated homes.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

One of Texas' Oldest Oil Plays Is Running Dry

The Eagle Ford shale play has shown remarkably consistent crude oil production and rising natural gas output in recent years. A formation beneath the Eagle Ford has been producing for nearly a century, but now it has its remaining resources nearly exhausted. The Buda Limestone formation, which lies beneath the Eagle Ford Group, has limited remaining oil and gas resources, the latest analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGC) showed this week. Technically recoverable resources at Buda Limestone are estimated at 184 billion cubic feet of gas and…

China Is Quietly Winning the Clean Energy Trade War

China’s clean energy dominance is growing. Buoyed by the skyrocketing energy needs and future projected demands of the artificial intelligence boom, clean energy projects are getting greenlit at a breakneck pace. And those projects depend on cheap Chinese clean energy components, as Beijing has near-total control of global supply chains for clean energy tech including solar panels and lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles as well as energy storage systems. As a result, Chinese clean energy exports are going gangbusters in virtually…

NASA Eyes Moon Base Powered by Solar Panels and Nuclear Reactors

With major plans for space travel, several governments are proposing lunar energy production, including solar and nuclear projects. In May, NASA announced plans to send robotic landers, hopping drones, and vehicles to the moon as part of the United States government’s plans to develop a lunar base. NASA is expected to develop the machines alongside Intuitive Machines, Astrobotic, Blue Origin, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The United States aims to land its astronauts back on the moon before President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029, 60…

The AI Power Crisis Is Creating a Massive New Market for Fuel Cells

Data center developers are scrambling for reliable power, turning away from congested grids and toward on-site fuel cells. Rystad Energy research and analysis projects a tenfold increase in fuel cell market revenues by 2030, rising from around $2.8 billion in 2025 to roughly $30 billion, as AI computing demand drives unprecedented growth in data center construction. A contracted order book of approximately 9 gigawatts (GW), including framework agreements with Oracle, AEP, Equinix, and Brookfield, points to growing confidence among major operators…
