PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.6 Energy Sustainability
Action 3.6.3.c (page 3-20)
Promote energy efficiency standards for larger residences. Applicable standards
might include better insulation for the outer walls, low-emissivity windows and doors, reduction of roof heat gain, and use of energy-efficient appliances.
(3.6.1) Goals:
a)
Puna has made significant progress towards achieving energy self-sufficiency by 2020.
b) A significant percentage of Puna households continue to live completely or partially off the
electrical power grid.
c) Puna lowers its dependence on fossil fuel as an energy source, becoming a demonstration area for alternative sources, systems and fuels.
d) There are incentives
for the use of renewable energy sources.
(3.6.2) Objectives:
Promote use of solar technologies, such as solar water heaters and photovoltaic power systems.
Employ energy-efficient
design standards for public building and residential development, including ventilation and cooling.
Recognize, when establishing regulatory standards, that while energy efficiency yields
long-term cost savings for low-income households, it may impose added initial construction cost on housing. Accordingly, reduced property tax assessments for self-powered homes and
businesses should be implemented.
