HI SCR86

Requests all state agencies to utilize bi-level lighting systems (motion-sensor lighting that adjusts intensity based on occupancy) in all newly constructed state buildings and facilities beginning January 1, 2027

Addresses energy waste from lighting systems that remain at full intensity throughout day and night, which increases electricity costs and causes unnecessary environmental harm

Bi-level lighting operates by adjusting lighting intensity through motion sensors, increasing brightness only as needed

Resolution to be transmitted to the Governor, Comptroller, and heads of over 20 state departments and agencies including Education, Health, Transportation, and the University of Hawaii System

Non-binding concurrent resolution that requests rather than mandates compliance from state agencies
