Greencape is strategically positioned to act as a conduit of key industry information in the green economy

Government Imperative:

  • Green Economy Accord
  • New Growth Path
  • Integrated Energy Strategy
  • IRP2010
  • Western Cape Green Economy

Strategy

2011 2010 2012

  • GreenCape initiative

established

  • Gained detailed understanding of industry –

sector valued to GDP at C. R7b

  • Manufacturing focus – sector valued to GDP at

C.R3.5b:

  • Clarity on local content requirements

from DoE

  • Clarity from DOE on longer term REFIT

plans (evolved to REIPPPPP)

  • Component testing of SWH agreed to by

SABS

  • One or more local companies appointed

to manufacture components for wind and solar power plants

  • A database on green economy companies is

produced 2013

  • Utility scale renewable energy

power projects;

  • Skills curriculum development;
  • a Skills center;
  • Manufacturing land in Atlantis;
  • Increased local content in round

requirements in round 3 of REIPPP;

  • Established working groups for

the waste and green economy, respectivedly

Low cost housing market: current challenges

 Climate change risks will have devasting

impacts for the low income households : energy (mostly electricity and fuel, water, heating, etc.

 Rising costs of resources food, electricity,

transport, etc.)

 E.g. RDP House heating load of 3,401 kWh/annum

at cost of R4081.87

 RDP House emissions = 3,264 kgCO₂ (from energy

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) defines the „green economy‟ as “…one that results in improved human well- being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities” (2012).

SANS 10400-XA has presented several

  • pportunities for an increase demand in greener

construction principles

  • Part of the National Building Regulations
  • Part „XA

‟ covers „Energy usage in buildings‟.

  • Requires buildings to comply with a basic standard of

energy efficiency

  • Provides specifications for:
  • Hot water energy efficiency (i.e. Min of 50% of heated

water must come from renewable sources)

  • Building envelope efficiency (walls, roofs, windows,

floors insulations levels must meet minimum R-values)

Built Environment professionals (quantity surveyors) are starting to take advantage of opportunities in the green economy

Conference Objectives: To provide a platform to debate and highlight the vision of the built environment professions towards a changing towards sustainable built environment principles. Conference Outputs:

  • Presentations of peer-reviewed research on the “rands and cents” of

green buildings:

  • Scope to close loops within the construction process
  • Built environment has opportunity to promote sustainability

(design, life cycle analysis, government building projects)

110% green’s Better Living Challenge and World Design Capital 2014

110% green presents an opportunity for industry participants to:

  • Promote the development of sustainable housing solutions that

improve lives, are affordable and offer people choices. The solutions need to address shack dwellings, backyard structures, RDP home and affordable housing.

  • Enable designs/products to get to market.

Key Partners of Better Living Challenge include the following Who? Manufacturers, Designers, Students, academics, etc. When? Now

Some Good News and things to look out for in 2014 -

  • Likely promulgation of SANS 10400 XA could incentivise the need
  • f new markets in the market. E.g. Manufactures of insulation

material for ceiling, wall, etc to meet the legislative requirement

  • the country housing backlog presents an opportunity (approx.

500 000 houses in Western Cape)

  • World Design Capital 2014 (need I say more???)
  • Implementation of National Development Plan (finally!!!)
  • Youth Wage Bill passed to promote youth employment
