  • Sustainability

    “Aloha” is the perfect word to describe the university of Hawaii at Manoa’s commitment to going green. Students, faculty, and staff at this environmental research powerhouse are saying goodbye to energy waste, climate change, and greenhouse gases, and hello to a future as a leader in Asia-Pacific sustainability. The university’s Manoa Sustainability Corps oversees green initiatives on campus, like the aggressive commitment to reduce the university’s energy use by 30 percent by the end of 2012. Manoa Green Days is the university’s energy reduction program to consolidate building energy use. Its recent Sustainable Saunders initiative reduced one building’s energy use by $149,900 in just one year! The campus is home to environmental research initiatives covering everything from sustainability issues relevant to tourism in Hawaii and other destinations in the Asia-Pacific region to research on global climate, equatorial oceanography, tsunamis, and fisheries. In fact, UH hosts a suite of marine life research institutes including the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-More) institute, which aims to facilitate a greater understanding of microorganisms in the sea. Students get in on the action through a dynamic student group called the HUB (Help Us Bridge) that works to establish the university as a world leader in sustainable research, practices and education. In a project for the US Department of Energy, the university is testing different types of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in order to determine the best models for campus use. As part of the project, UH has installed charging stations on campus.
