RE: H.C.R. No. 100
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No.
100 entitled:
“HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING DEVELOPERS TO
INCORPORATE NET ZERO WATER BUILDING STRATEGIES WHEN
CONSTRUCTING AND RENOVATING HOUSING PROJECTS IN THE STATE,TT
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to encourage developers to
incorporate net zero waste building strategies when constructing
and renovating housing projects in the State.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation;
Hawaii Public Housing Authority; and Ulupono Initiative.
Your Committee finds that the fresh water resources of the
State are vital and finite and in recent years, some of Hawaii’s
waters have been severely polluted by a variety of toxic
contaminants. Your Committee further finds that, as recommended
by the United States Department of Energy, developers can help
sustain the State’s fresh water resources by designing and
constructing net zero water housing projects that minimize total
water consumption and wastewater discharge and maximize
alternative water sources. Your Committee believes that the
construction of net zero water housing in the State would reduce

the impact on aquifers and water reclamation infrastructure and
conserve more water resources.

Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 100
and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer
Protection & Commerce.

behalf of the members of the
