Coconut Island
Coconut Islands laboratories (the Hawaiian
Institute for Marine Biology or HIMB) consume
about 280,000 of electricity per year primarily
due to an exceedingly inefficient cooling system.
The Center for Smart Building and Community
Design has provided technical assistance.

• The new cooling system will utilize high
  efficiency geothermal closed-loop heat exchanger
• Dehumidification will be provided using waste
  energy from this system rather than using
  expensive natural gas to re-heat the air.
• The overall system will be sized appropriately
  to the expected demand of the laboratory.
• The intention is to become a showcase of the EPA
  Labs21 approach to laboratory design.
