More than 1,000 UH<\/abbr> Mānoa students living in four Hale Aloha residence halls are engaging in a friendly competition to see which tower is the most environmentally conscious. The first-year students are embarking on the Quest for the Kukui Cup<\/a>, a nearly year-long energy and sustainability challenge to reduce energy usage while increasing energy literacy. The challenge runs through the Spring 2013 semester. <\/abbr><\/p>\n

“What makes the Kukui Cup unique is that it combines energy education, prizes, real-time energy use feedback, online gaming and real-world experiences to encourage life-long changes in energy use on personal and societal levels,” said challenge organizer Philip Johnson<\/strong>, a UH<\/abbr> Mānoa professor of information and computer sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Quest for the Kukui Cup started in the first week of September 2012, with 19 energy-related excursions and workshops, including a trip to Oʻahu<\/span>’s H-POWER waste-to-energy generation facility.<\/p>\n

The Kukui Cup project is sponsored by the UH<\/abbr> Mānoa Center for Renewable Energy and Island Sustainability, Student Housing Services, Facilities Management and Department of Information and Computer Sciences, as well as the National Science Foundation, HEI<\/abbr> Charitable Foundation and Hawaiian Electric Company.<\/p>\n
