The blessing marks the completion of the prototype green home, built in 84 days at a cost of about $600,000.
Homeowners Daniel and Lori Ann Ambrosewicz bid on the New HawaiianHome blueprint plans at the BIA-Hawaii event last year and have embraced the concept of green living.
The two-story, four bedroom home is equipped with a PV system, solar water heating, whole house fan, rain catchment system and energy efficient windows, lighting and appliances.
