This blog has been set up as a forum to share ideas and details about the New Hawaiian Home and initiate a dialogue about green or sustainable design in an open practical application for Hawaii. This project is intended to be a learning classroom; we invite you to our classroom and to be an active participant. Please submit questions or topics that you would like us to discuss.
We will begin with new topics for information and dialogue. Topics may change as interests come to light in the weeks ahead.
- What is green building really?
- How does the design of the home impact how we live?
- Why is green construction important from the perspective of the BIA?
- Do you foresee an increase in the demand for green homes? Why do you think there is this interest?
- How is passive design different than standard home design?
- Why is up front planning and design critical to successful green design?
- What classes can individuals take to learn more about sustainable homes building practices? (CGP class)
- How can planning for the project upfront reduce waste?
- How does a whole house fan work?
- What are aquaponics?
- How does light fixture selection impact energy efficiency.
