BUILDING A GREENER HAWAI‘I THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

reen Building Hawaii (GBH) began from a place of passion and a deep love of the islands that we call home. Our objective is to make the built environment part of the solution and far less of the problem of climate change. The great news is that we (all of us working together in partnership) can make it happen. It takes collaboration and thoughtful approaches that get us to where we need to be in the future while recognizing the realities of today. Like many things that go well together, boards and waves, for example, GBH and EnergyLogic go great together. Early in 2020, EnergyLogic, acquired GBH to extend and scale its foundational work. GBH founder, John Bendon, and Energy Efficiency Specialist, Austin Van Heusen have joined the EnergyLogic team. However, GBH continues operating under its name, reflecting our commitment to local and regional expertise. Being part of EnergyLogic supports GBH in growing existing services and extending new ones to the

Hawaii market. Toward that end, EnergyLogic expert, Senior Energy Rater Zoe LaMantia, relocated to Hawaii, and we have begun growing, welcoming Energy Rater Assistant Estrella Franco to our field team. EnergyLogic is a Colorado-based B Corporation™ that serves clients in Colorado with direct field services and clients nationwide with software and consulting services. Founded in 2006, EnergyLogic is deeply committed to assisting our clients in reaching their sustainability goals. We’re both a market leader and trailblazer at the national level. We do that with an intense focus on our internal company culture, enabling our “Logicians” to do their absolute best for our client partners. This foundation made an even deeper relationship with GBH so logical. Our shared vision for where we have been, where we are, and where we can go have generated great energy as we grow together.
