USGBC calculates the list using per capita figures to allow for a fair comparison of the level of green building taking place among states with significant differences in population and number of overall buildings. According to the Council, the Aloha State earned a place on the list thanks largely to the Hawaii Convention Center, which achieved LEED Gold certification. The facility is focused on measuring its environmental performance to improve visitor experience and has adopted Arc, a new digital platform that uses various data to help measure and improve its sustainability efforts. In related news, the Hawaii Convention Center has launched an environmental initiative called Hoomaluo, meaning "to conserve, to use or manage wisely" to reduce waste and conserve resources in each stage of the event process.

• This may be hard to believe, given the beautiful tropical landscapes that the Aloha State is famous for, but fewer than 10 percent of Hawaii’s old-growth native and endemic forests remain. The Hawaii Convention Center wants to change that. Through the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative, a nonprofit organization that has led the planting of more than 400,000 native and endemic trees on Oahu and the island of Hawaii, the Hawaii Convention Center has committed to planting one million Legacy Trees across the state. The HCC has created a program that offers meeting planners and attendees the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture, history and environment of Hawaii during their events by supporting these vital reforestation efforts. With a few clicks on a website, attendees can sponsor and dedicate a Legacy Tree and track its development. Recently, groups such as the American Dental Association and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology have worked with the HCC to enhance their meetings through program participation. Planners and attendees are invited to visit onemillion.legacytrees.org to sponsor and dedicate an individual koa Legacy Tree or group of trees. Each sponsor will receive a high-quality certificate with RFID tracking information and dedication details. They can then watch their tree as it grows via a regularly updated, high-quality aerial map supported by Tree Tracker technology. Groups can also visit the Oahu and island of Hawaii Legacy Forests to plant their own trees through Hawaiian Legacy Tours.

Meeting attendees who take the land-based tour will learn about the cultural and scientific significance of Hawaii’s tallest mountain as they visit the world-class astronomical observatories dotting its slopes. Pick up spots for the excursion are located on both sides of the island in Kona, Waikoloa and Hilo.
