RE: S.R. No. 98
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Commerce and Consumer Protection and
Housing, to which was referred S.R. No. 98 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING DEVELOPERS TO INCORPORATE NET
ZERO WATER BUILDING STRATEGIES WHEN CONSTRUCTING AND
RENOVATING HOUSING PROJECTS IN THE STATE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to encourage
developers to incorporate net zero water building strategies when
constructing and renovating housing projects in the State.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
Your Committees find that a net zero water project creates a
water-neutral building where the amount of alternative
water—water sourced sustainably, such as harvested
rainwater—used and water collected from the building systems such
as green infrastructure and on-site treated wastewater, and
returned to the original water source is equal to the building's
total water consumption. This measure encourages developers to
incorporate net zero water building strategies into their
construction and renovation of housing projects in the State to
help reduce pollution, mitigate impacts on aquifers, and conserve
Hawaii's precious water resources.
