The Clean Energy Future Hawaiʻi Can Actually Build: New TFIE Strategy White Paper
The newly published white paper began with a question that persisted because of how clearly island systems expose the realities of energy. Can Hawaiʻi, an isolated archipelago with no continental grid behind it and a long dependence on imported fuels, build an energy system that is cleaner, more resilient, more … [continued]

H.O.T.T.O.G.O. — 3 Key Factors Influencing Heat Pump Water Heater Performance in Food Service
The foodservice industry is notoriously difficult to decarbonize, especially when it comes to water heating. From quick-service chains to grocery stores and fine dining, each subsector has its own challenges, from volatile draw profiles (how much water a site uses each day and when) to a lack of airflow or … [continued]
