The standards for a green design demand that the interior materials are non-toxic, recyclable and made from renewable sources. To create a residential interior that will serve as a showpiece of carbon-neutral design, designers researched the industry to identify companies that realize the importance of the goal, and that supply products and services that represent exceptional performance, reliability, efficiency and environmental friendliness.

These companies joined the team to make Hi'ilani possible as a manifestation of what can happen when science, businesses and environmental interests come together to make a better world possible.
