Makani o ka Hoʻololi: Hoʻokomo ʻo UMB i kahi kikowaena aniau liʻiliʻi

Ua hana pū ke Keʻena Hoʻomau o UMB me ka Operations and Maintenance e hoʻokomo i kahi kikowaena aniau liʻiliʻi ma ka hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ka papahele ʻeono o ka Health Sciences Research Facility III (HSRF III) i Nowemapa. E ana kēia kikowaena aniau e like me ka mahana, ka haʻahaʻa, ka kukuna o ka lā, ka UV, ke kuhikuhi o ka makani, a me ka wikiwiki o ka makani, a me nā kiko ʻikepili ʻē aʻe.

Ua ʻimi mua ke Keʻena Hoʻomau i ka manaʻo o kahi kikowaena aniau o ke kahua kula ma hope o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi palapala moʻolelo Tree Equity e hōʻike ana i nā kūlike ʻole e kū nei i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka uhi lāʻau ma Baltimore. ʻO kēia kūlike ʻole ke alakaʻi i ka hopena mokupuni wela kūlanakauhale, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wela o nā wahi me nā lāʻau liʻiliʻi a no laila e ʻoi aku ka wela ma mua o ko lākou mau hoa i ʻoi aku ka malu.

I ka nānā ʻana i ke aniau no kekahi kūlanakauhale, ʻo ka ʻikepili i hōʻike ʻia he mau heluhelu maʻamau mai nā kikowaena aniau ma ke kahua mokulele kokoke loa. No Baltimore, lawe ʻia kēia mau heluhelu ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall, kahi kokoke i 10 mile mai ke kahua kula o UMB. ʻO ke kau ʻana i kahi kikowaena aniau o ke kahua kula e hiki ai iā UMB ke loaʻa i ka ʻikepili kūloko hou aʻe ma ka mahana a hiki ke kōkua i ka wehewehe ʻana i nā hopena o ka hopena o ka mokupuni wela kūlanakauhale ma ke kahua kula ma ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale.

"Ua nānā nā kānaka ma UMB i kahi kikowaena aniau i ka wā ma mua, akā hauʻoli wau ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolilo i kēia moeʻuhane i mea maoli," wahi a Angela Ober, loea kiʻekiʻe ma ke Keʻena Hoʻomau. "ʻAʻole wale kēia ʻikepili e pōmaikaʻi i ko mākou keʻena, akā, i nā hui ma ke kahua kula e like me ka Hoʻokele Pōpilikia, nā lawelawe kaiapuni, nā hana a me ka mālama ʻana, ke olakino lehulehu a me ka hana, ka palekana lehulehu, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. He mea hoihoi ia e hoʻohālikelike i ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia me nā kikowaena kokoke ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ka manaʻolana e loaʻa kahi lua ma ke kahua kula e hoʻohālikelike i nā micro-climates i loko o nā palena o ke kahua kula o ke Kulanui."

E kōkua pū nā heluhelu i lawe ʻia mai ke kahua aniau i ka hana a nā keʻena ʻē aʻe ma UMB, me ke Keʻena Hoʻokele Pilikia (OEM) a me nā lawelawe kaiapuni (EVS) i ka pane ʻana i nā hanana aniau koʻikoʻi. E hāʻawi kahi kāmela i kahi hānai ola o ke aniau ma ke kahua o UMB a me kahi wahi nānā hou aʻe no nā hana nānā ʻana a ka Mākaʻi a me ka Palekana Lehulehu o UMB.
