HI SB2013

Creates the University of Hawaii green special fund to provide dedicated capital for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainability projects across all ten campuses.

Fund receives deposits from energy conservation savings, legislative appropriations, investment earnings, gifts, donations, rebates, grants, and incentives related to energy conservation measures.

Moneys support energy efficiency and sustainability projects including personnel costs, equipment, planning, design, implementation, and other related expenses.

University of Hawaii may transfer funds from other sources into the green special fund to offset costs of sustainability initiatives.

Establishes a sustainable funding cycle where energy savings are tracked and reinvested to support the university's long-term net-zero energy consumption goal.
