Campus Solutions: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Program will Save Millions

The University of Hawai'i Community Colleges create a greater comfort for students and staff

University of Hawaii

As an emerging higher education leader, the University of Hawai'i Community Colleges (UHCC) takes a big step to save over $58 million in energy costs.

With more than 34,000 students, UHCC will improve campuses, enhancing the academic experience by making environments more comfortable through a 20-year performance contract with Johnson Controls. In addition to infrastructure upgrades, a conservation curriculum will be rolled out to offer students sustainability and renewable energy modules. 

The curriculum will consist of sustainability and renewable energy modules designed to naturally incorporate conservation learning within their major areas of study. Building energy conservation within the curriculum will help students transfer knowledge gained in the classroom to their professional and social experiences.

The performance contract details:

  • Expected energy savings of more than $58 million over the 20-year contract
  • Advanced controls and real-time energy and facilities management information technology
  • Full-time on-site energy manager
  • Decrease of more than 6 million Kilowatt-hours per year – a reduction of approximately 23 percent of the campuses’ current usage.

UHCC’s campuses will integrate several energy solutions designed to reduce their usage of electricity, water, wastewater, and syngas. Solar hot water, energy efficient air conditioning, and lighting retrofits are among the solutions Johnson Controls provides.

The project supports Hawai'i’s Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) goal to decrease energy demand and accelerate use of renewable, indigenous energy resources in Hawai'i.
