Where energy flows toward Hawaiʻi’s cleaner future

Energy planning for Hawaiʻi’s next generation of high-rise development

Horizon Currents works with developers, contractors, consultants, and government agencies involved in high-rise projects across Hawaiʻi.

Our work focuses on how major building loads, particularly water heating and air conditioning, affect energy use, electrical demand, and long-term building performance.

We work alongside project teams during planning to bring clarity to how these systems may influence energy use, electrical demand, and long-term building performance.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support Hawaiʻi’s transition toward a cleaner energy future by bringing greater attention to how key building systems are considered in high-rise development, and how those decisions shape long-term performance.

Our Focus

As Hawaiʻi continues to see more high-rise development, major building systems are becoming a more important part of project planning.

We look at how systems such as water heating and air conditioning shape overall energy use and electrical demand in high-rise buildings. These systems can also influence infrastructure requirements and how buildings perform over time.

We work with project teams seeking a clearer understanding of how these considerations may affect project requirements as development moves forward.

Why It Matters in High-Rise Projects

Major building loads affect more than energy use

In high-rise buildings, systems like water heating and air conditioning can significantly shape electrical demand and overall building performance. When these factors are not fully considered early, they can influence system sizing, infrastructure capacity, and long-term operating costs.

Who We Work With

We work with developers, general contractors, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing teams, design consultants, government agencies, and utilities involved in high-rise projects across Hawaiʻi.

Our work supports teams in understanding how key building systems may influence project requirements over time.
