First US Sustainable Bamboo School

Ron — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:30:08 +0000

Maui, HI – June 1, 2009 Bamboo Living®, the global leader in sustainable bamboo building (www.bambooliving.com) helped build the first American school building made of sustainable bamboo. The project will be featured June 5th on “Renovation Nation,” Discovery’s Planet Green Network show starring Emmy award-winning host Steve Thomas.

“It’s especially gratifying to Bamboo Living that this structure will be used to teach young people building skills, including how to use sustainable materials like bamboo,” said David Sands, the architect who co-founded Bamboo Living, the world’s first and only internationally code certified (ICC-ES) bamboo building company.

The 1,200-square foot school building will be used to teach industrial arts to high school students attending the Hana Elementary and High School, K-12, located on Maui, Hawaii. According to Rick Rutiz, the executive director of Ma Ka Hana Ka ‘Ike (In Working, One Learns), the non-profit that runs the program, “Bamboo Living supplied the design for the school building and all of the bamboo building materials. They were the ‘brains’ of the project.”

Like all of the bamboo used in Bamboo Living’s building projects worldwide, the bamboo used at the school features twice the compression strength of concrete and a greater strength-to-weight ratio than steel.

Bamboo’s environmental benefits include the ability to produce greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest on the same area. “Bamboo is the most renewable building resource on earth,” explained Sands.”It grows at a rate three and a half times faster than the fastest-growing trees. Bamboo is structurally mature in just three years!”

Sands said that his vision for Bamboo Living is to promote the use of bamboo as a building material to help reverse global warming, restore the world’s native forests, protect our watersheds, stop topsoil erosion, and raise communities out of poverty. (A goal of the Hana school project is to provide a generation of islanders with the skills their rural community needs to sustain multiple generations.)

“Whether a rural school, a growing family in the Midwest, or a retirement community in the Southeast, choosing a bamboo home over a conventional one enables you to make a significant difference to you, your loved ones, and to the earth,” advised Sands. “Bamboo Living helps you live in your values.”

The Fifth Largest Tsunami Wave in Hilo – Feb 27, 2010

Ron — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 11:56:34 +0000

From Youtube

I forgot to put these clips of the withdrawal and surge of the largest wave I filmed during the Feb, 2010 tsunami in Hilo. It’s not dramatically different than the other waves, but it covers up almost all of the rocks on Maui’s paddle (the rocky area in the Wailuku River). The water covered up one rock that was a foot taller than me when I went swimming in this same area a few weeks ago, so I know the water rose at least 7ft.

A White Christmas in Hawaii

Ron — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:48:44 +0000

With all the rain falling the last couple of days (Hilo airport received 3″ in 24 hrs for Dec. 26) we couldn’t see the snow on Mauna Kea. So even though it was hidden behind all the rain clouds, we did have a white Christmas after all.

When I noticed we could see her today I ran out with my cellphone and snapped this picture. Sorry for the quality.

Unlike the rains of a couple weeks ago, I haven’t found anything about any extensive damage, so I hope there wasn’t any. We were without Internet access las night for several hours.

Hawaii247 has some flood related pictures.

Happy Holidays!

Electric Vehicles: Maui First To Test

Ron — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:37:42 +0000

Maui Electric and Giv Lina Lingle have signed an agreement with Phoenix Motorcars to provide them with electric pick-up trucks to use in Maui Electric Co.’s fleet and test out.

“We’re very interested in testing electric vehicles from manufacturers like Phoenix Motorcars to use electricity generated by renewable resources during off-peak hours, and to determine whether electric vehicles can efficiently store that power and return it to the grid when there’s high demand,” said Ed Reinhardt, president of Maui Electric, in a statement.

Gov Lingle also recently signed another agreement with Better Place to bring a plug-in-network to Hawaii and electric cars by 2012.

Renewable Energy in Hawaii

Ron — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:51:18 +0000

Hawaii is a leader among the fifty states (Ranked 4th Forbes 2007) when it comes to renewable energy. In a single year, renewable energy sources such as biomass, wind, hydropower, geothermal and solar have saved the State as much as 3.5 million barrels of oil and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 1.9 million tons (1992).

Sadly, Hawaii is also one of the most petroleum dependent states for about 85% – 90% of its primary energy.

Gov. Lingle announced a goal earlier this year of at least 70 percent renewable energy use in Hawaii by the year 2030.

Geothermal

Geothermal uses the heat generated by the volcanic activities and turns the hot water and steam generated deep underground and converts it to power on the surface. On the Big Island of Hawaii geothermal provides 20% of the Big Islands power. Geothermal exploration started as early as 1960 and has grown into it’s present day supplier of a fifth of the islands needs, with the potential to provide much more.

The Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) power plant is located in Pahoa, Hawaii. PGV accounts for about 30 percent of the state’s alternative energy resources, which is more than wind and solar combined. The water is reinjected into the earth so the plant has near zero emissions.

Biomass

Biomass is the largest source of renewable fuel in Hawaii. A 180 MW biomass plant began full-scale operations on September 1, 1992. In 1992 biomass produced about 8.2 percent of the State’s total electricity. Consisting mainly from bagasse the waste from sugarcane. Sugar mills use bagasse from sugarcane to provide thermal power and electricity for sale to utility grids. The decline in the sugar industry over the past couple of decades has slowed this renewable source down to the point that some of the plants had to turn to burning coal and petroleum fuels to produce power.

A partnership of Wind developers from Kaui and Maui are trying to secure the rights to 20,000 acres of eucalyptus trees grown along the Hamakua coast to burn in a biomass combustion power plant. The 30-megawatt power plant hopes to be completed sometime in the second half of 2010.

The power plant will be located in Paauilo and produce enough energy to power 30,000 homes. The plant could generate 30 megawatts of power, but would normally generate 25 megawatts of firm power during peak times and 15 megawatts at other times.

Hydro Power

Hydro power harness the energy of moving water to produce electricity. There are several small hydroelectric plants on the islands of Hawaii. Although these are deamed as being intermittent and not stable power they do produce enough power to power various sugar mills and plantations. Most are owned by the sugar mills themselves. There are a total of 20 Hydropower plants that produce .2 MW or greater. Maui has 4 hydro power plants, Kauai has seven and the Big Island has 9 plants.

Solar Power

Hawaii is the state with the nation’s highest per capita installation of Solar Water Heaters. In a recent post I told you about the states new law requiring all new construction of homes to include a Solar Water Heater. An estimated 80,000 homes have solar heaters installed and an estimated 1,500 or more residential and commercial solar installations are in use throughout the state.

Wind Power

Wind power ranks third in Hawaii’s renewable energy resources with wind generation providing 1.3% of Hawaii’s power. There are several wind farms in Hawaii with Maui and the Big Island having the largest wind farms. The Parker Ranch solar / wind hybrid power plant on the Big Island in Hawaii is the world’s largest hybrid solar / wind energy project.

Renewable Energy for the Homeowner

The homeowner in Hawaii has a couple of choices for setting up and using Renewable energy in their home. Solar is the obvious first choice and wind power makes a good match to solar because of the trade winds we have and the wind during storms when the sun isn’t shining as bright.

The state provides homeowners with various tax credits as does the federal government for installing either Solar and Wind systems or both. And since many houses in Hawaii are equipped with credible house insurance policies, installing these renewable energy systems is easy and manageable.

Since the Pu’u O’o vent opened up the Vog is affecting the Kona side of the big Island, Solar output of solar panels has been reduced by as much as 50% in some locations, so be sure you check with a reputable dealer when making your solar decisions and discuss the area you live in and the possible impact of the vog on your solar system.

Finding a Doctor in Hawaii

Ron — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:29:17 +0000

Finding a Doctor in Hawaii can be a daunting task. Most Doctors here will not refill a prescription for walk-ins. Even with insurance you will be lucky to find one to see you without a copy of your medical records.

If you plan on moving here to Hawaii.
Make sure you bring along the a couple items:

A month or two supply of any prescription meds (even if you have to pay out of pocket, bring em!)
A complete copy of your medical records (2 – 5 years if you have it – the more the better)
For your children you should have a copy of their vaccination record

The NP at the hospital told me it can take a couple of months to get setup with a new Dr. here in Hilo.

Just be prepared with medical records and you should be fine.

Don’t let this keep you from moving here there ARE good Doctors here, there is just a shortage of available doctors, at least here in Hilo.

Volcanoes National Park

Ron — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:09:36 +0000

Volcanoes National Park was recently featured on Good Morning America’s Weekend Window.
You can view the short video below:
Volcanoes National Park.

Kilauea, located on the Big Island of Hawaii is the most active volcano on Earth, started its current eruptive phase in 1983, the longest eruption in history. This weekend Kilauea was spouting lava into the air about 50 feet high and continues to spout lava today.

According to authorities the trade winds are thankfully keeping the vog away from the more populated areas. When I was in Kona friday there was plenty of vog then. It made for a beautiful sunset though.I will post the picture here in a couple of days.

A very short video can be seen here:
Lava shooting into the air.

Here is a much longer video on Volcanoes National Park via YouTube:

King Kamehameha Day

Ron — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:58:49 +0000

It is King Kamehameha day here in Hawaii. It is a state holiday here in Hawaii where thousands of people will gather on the northern tip of the Big Island of Hawai‘i in Kapa‘au (North Kohala) to honor King Kamehameha I, the chief who united the Hawaiian Islands in 1795. It startts at 8 am and features a parade, Ho’olaule’a and more.

Celebrations are held in all the major towns and here in Hilo at Moku Ola (Coconut Island), the celebration will feature Hawaii’s only Ha’a Koa (Dance of the Warrior) competition, the Kamehameha Festival on Moku Ola (Coconut Island) will also feature top recording artists, hula halau, food and a chant ho’ike. It all starts at 10:45 am this morning.

Kindness and Aloha

Ron — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:45:27 +0000

I was flipping through channels the other night and I saw Dr Wayne Dyer (who lives on Maui) on a talk show or maybe it was an infomercial.

He made the statement “Kindness isn’t something we do, kindness comes from within.” (not a direct quote)

He went on to state that while you can show an act of kindness, that doesn’t mean that you are a kind person.

I turned to my wife April and said that I really liked that statement, her reply was simply “That is Aloha!”.

You can act out Aloha, but it comes from deep within yourself. It is not something that you do or something that you acquire or earn, but something that grows within you and shines through you.

“A day without Aloha is just another mainland day.”
~ Buck Buchanan ~

The aloha spirit and the concept of ohana are not mere words to us, they mean that we care for other each including those we don’t know.
~ Linda Lingle ~

Do you have Aloha within you?
I’d really like to hear your thoughts on what Aloha means to you.

Honolulu the Greenest City in the Nation

Ron — Sat, 31 May 2008 06:12:15 +0000

The Brookings Institution announced that Honolulu is the greenest city in the nation on thursday.

According to their report Honolulu Hawaii generates the least amount of carbon dioxide pollution among the top 100 U.S. metropolitan areas.

The report says that Honolulu, Hawaii produced only about 1.36 metric tons of carbon emissions per person in 2005. Lexington, Kentucky the highest emitter on the list produced about 3.5 metric tons.

Emissions measured in the report were from transportation and buildings. Te report did not include commercial buildings, gasoline burned while vehicles are stuck in traffic, industry emissions or aircraft.

Emissions on the West Coast of the USA tend to be lower because the weather is more favorable and electricity and gas prices are higher.

Hawaii Solar Water Heater Bill

Ron — Wed, 14 May 2008 12:00:38 +0000

The Hawaii state legislature passed a bill on May 1 that would make Hawaii the first State in the nation to require solar water heaters as a standard feature on all new homes. The Solar Roofs Bill received unanimous support in the House and only two opposing votes in the Senate.

Earlier this year Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle announced a goal of at least 70 percent renewable energy use in Hawaii by the year 2030. “Achieving this goal is nearly impossible without widespread use of solar water heaters,” says Hawaii Sierra Club Director Jeff Mikulina “The solar roofs bill is smart policy, sensibly crafted to smooth a transition toward zero-energy homes of the future.”

Solar water heaters shave 30 to 40 percent off a home’s electricity bill and greatly reduce residential greenhouse gas emissions. Advocates say the policy comes none too soon, as Hawaii faces the priciest power in the nation and threats from climate change.

Hawaii ranks number one in the nation when it comes to using energy from the sun to heat water. It’s a great way to use the sun’s energy!
