Today we will continue our Sustainable Leaders series and have a Talk Story with Howard Wiig, a seasoned Energy Analyst for the Hawaii Energy Office. We will be talking about Hawaii’s Energy Building Codes and how this will affect the future of Hawaii and our sustainable initiatives. Here are a few topics that might spike your interest to keep listening: How Hawaii’s energy building codes work, green building codes, money savers, differences between LEED and current codes, air tight homes, 2020 national code changes and more!
After managing many federal energy-saving projects, Mr. Wiig started managing energy building codes and was soon attending national energy code conferences, testifying before county councils, meeting with builders, vendors and union leaders and forming alliances with governmental and non-profit entities. With his expertise and accomplishments, Howard finds himself on numerous energy committees and councils, chairing many of them. He has been instrumental in creating codes that save energy and money for states and our counties. He also hosts a bi-weekly show for Think Tech Hawaii titled “Code Green,”. He is President of the Illuminating Engineering Society-Hawaii, past President of Engineers and Architects of Hawaii and co-founder and 13-year veteran of “DBEDT for Business,” the department’s Toastmasters club.
