BACKGROUND
Utilizing ratepayer funds, Hawaii Energy offers cash rebates and other incentives to residents and businesses to help offset the cost of installing energy efficient equipment. In addition to rebates, the program conducts education and training to residents, businesses and trade allies (contractors) to encourage the adoption of energy conservation behaviors and efficiency measures. The program plays an important role in helping the state achieve the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) goal of reducing total electric energy usage by 4.3 billion kWh by 2030.

This is a daunting task that will require a greatly expanded effort on many levels and will involve the proactive support of every citizen of Hawaii. Hawaii Energy will aggressively employ new initiatives in energy conservation and efficiency and also integrate these initiatives with renewable energy efforts to help meet all HCEI goals.

EMPLOYEES
Hawaii Energy employs approximately 35 employees in full and part-time roles with the knowledge, skill and passion to help individuals and businesses save energy. The Hawaii Energy team works together to assist residents and businesses with investing in energy efficiency measures to reduce the state's dependence on imported oil.

INCENTIVES
Residential -- Solar water heating, high efficiency water heaters, heat pumps, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), central air conditioning (AC) maintenance, ENERGY STAR® appliances, bounty program, whole house and solar attic fans.

Solar Water Heating
As of May 25, 2011, the additional American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds directed by the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), State Energy Office to fund the $1,000 solar water heating incentive have been exhausted.

Residents who wish to finance their solar water heating systems may still take advantage of the Hot Water, Cool Rates (solar loan interest buy down) offering. For cash purchased solar water heating systems, Hawaii Energy will immediately be taking a waitlist for its next program year beginning July 1, 2011 upon approval of program funding by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. State and federal tax credits are still available.

Whole House Energy Monitor
Whole House Energy Monitors offer homeowners and renters the ability to understand the electrical consumption of the entire household. With near real-time data updates and historical data display, whole house monitors provide for analysis of total household electrical consumption, individuals can identify energy consumers and observe and make change to see savings.

Whole House and Solar Attic Fan
Get a $75 rebate on a Whole House Fan that draws cooler, outside air through your living space by pushing the hot air out of the home and out of the attic vents, creating a cooling breeze. Get a $25 rebate on a solar attic fan, which cools your roof and may reduce the load on your air conditioning system.

REBATES FOR YOUR BUSINESS (Back to the top)

This program is co-funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act's (ARRA), State Energy Program (SEP) and Hawaii Energy.

Booster Pump
Booster pumps increase water pressure so that water can reach a building's higher floors. Reduce energy use by upgrading to very efficient booster pumps equipped with VFDs.

Rebates are available for horsepower reductions of up to 129 hp. All pump motors must meet NEMA Premium Efficiency standards.

Central Plant Optimization
Improve building operations through a systematic approach of installing critical metering, performing retro-commissioning activities to identify and optimize system operations, and then measuring and sharing the results and lessons learned.

Chiller
High efficiency chillers can pay for themselves in as little as two years with energy and operating cost savings of 10% to 25%.

Customized
Custom incentives are awarded for investments in energy efficient equipment and system designs that are not covered by prescriptive incentives.

HVAC Fan VFD
VFDs adjust the speed of an HVAC fan based on demand, which saves energy and prolongs the life of the equipment.

HVAC Pump VFD
VFDs adjust the speed of an HVAC pump based on demand, which saves energy and prolongs the life of the equipment.

Lighting
For low-wattage T8 lamps with electronic ballasts, reflectors, CFLs, LED exit signs, induction lighting, high pressure sodium lamps, pulse-start metal hallide lamps and occupancy sensors.

For LEDs, T5 lamps and others that do not have a prescriptive rebate, please visit the Customized section and look for the Customized Incentive Worksheet for lighting.
