クール ビズ Cool Biz Hawaiian Style!!!

90 Degreeeesss....in the shade.......
Toooo Hot....in the shade.....






In Japan, they have a yearly program in the summer called Cool Biz to help reduce electricity costs during the summer. From what I've heard, this mainly means turning down the AC and not wearing suits.



Well...this past Tuesday, at Kapolei Hale, the City implemented a new program called Broke Biz (ブローク　ビズ). What this consisted of is a BROKEN AC unit, a building with NO WINDOWS, and a so far...3 days hotter than hell!!! with more to come tomorrow...



Ways to keep cool in a building NOT designed to have NO AC:

• Use a hand fan.
• Buy electric fans for almost everyone.
• Open every door in the building to the outside.
• Turn off all the lights.

• Buy popsicles for everyone.
• Buy 7-eleven slurpees.
• Wear short pants.
• Wear tee-shirts.
• Wear tank tops.
• Wear slippers.
• Then today, I even went so far to buy 6 blocks of ice!!!!!

Here's one of the blocks doing its thing...

This is my block after a couple of hours...

92 Degrees @ 3:30pm with one hour to go...only a pan of luke warm water...
