Hawaii SB632 proposes adopting a green building standards code to enhance sustainable construction practices.
Hawaii SB632 aims to incorporate sustainable building practices into the state's building code, similar to California's CALGreen. The bill tasks the state building code council with developing and adopting a green building standards code. This code is intended to improve public health, safety, and general welfare by enhancing building design and construction through sustainable practices. The council must base the code on nationally published codes and standards, including residential and hurricane-resistant standards.
