PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.6 Energy Sustainability
Action 3.6.3.h (page 3-20)
Promote biomass energy and fuel production using wood chips from exotic trees.
(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.
