More details of Hawai'i Home Energy Makeover improvements

Two Island families take the mystery out of energy efficiency and cut their electric bills way back on Blue Planet Foundation’s “Hawaii Home Energy Makeover” TV show. The program shows that from Nakakuli to Kalihi, Hawaii’s energy independence begins at home.

“Hawaii Home Energy Makeover” follows along as two Oahu families transform their homes with energy-efficient technology. From simple, cool-roof improvements to the installation of the latest in photovoltaic systems, the show inspires all of us to be part of the island’s “clean energy future.”

Hosts Billy V and Donalyn Dela Cruz leads viewers through the entertaining real-life journeys each family takes on their way to saving big money and reducing their impact on the planet.
