The Hawaii State Energy Office (HSEO), a division of the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, has been awarded a $7,324,540 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117). The grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, will support HSEO's efforts to implement building energy codes across Hawaii, with a focus on adopting the 2024 IECC/90.1-2022 standards and the Zero Energy Code Appendices statewide. HSEO plans to pass through the entirety of the adoption-focused funds to Hawaiian counties to assist their efforts in leapfrogging to the updated energy codes. Additionally, the grant will enable HSEO to provide technical assistance, program development, and policy implementation to facilitate Hawaii's transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
