The lab was to create the first air-conditioning system to use cold seawater pumped in from the deep. Honolulu was set to become the first warm-climate city to adopt the system. After 4 years of studying Honolulu Seawater Air Conditioning expected to server customers within 2 years. The system had obtained equity investment of $10.7 million and was fertilizing the design.
