IntroductionIntroduction

Kyoto Protocol to the United Framework Convention

1997

Obligates developed countries to reduce

greenhouse gas(GHG) Emissions

Developed countries seen as primarily

responsible for the current high levels of GHG emissions

The Protocol is designed to also assist developing countries in

adapting to the negative effects of

climate change

South Africa

DEA - Published the National Climate Change Response White Paper – commits to

reduce its GHG emissions to 34% in 2020 and 42% in 2025

DOE – National Energy Efficiency Strategy by the

Department of Energy

DPW – Green Building Framework by the

Department of Public Works

DPW Green Building Policy Addressing Built

Environment sector direct influence on: greenhouse

gas emissions, energy consumption, water

consumption and waste generation.

“The Department of Public Works has

been instructed to ensure that all Government

buildings are energy efficient” – President

of the Republic of South Africa, Hon J.G

Zuma, SONA 2015

5

Background and HistoryBackground and History

• The Hon. Minister of Public Works launched the Department’s Green Building Framework in December 2011 during COP17;

• South Africa is a central authority on green building particularly on its property portfolio;

• South Africa is a co-signatory to international agreements which embrace sustainable human settlements;

• The framework was a product of two research papers commissioned by DPW and developed by the CSIR:

- International Review on Sustainable Building, and

- National Imperatives to be addressed through Sustainable Building.


6

Background and HistoryBackground and History

The framework shall be implemented through a Built Environment Green Economy Programme (BEGEP) encompassing:

oSustainable Building oRating Tool oEnergy Efficiency and Water EfficiencyoSustainable WasteoSocial-cohesion InterventionsoBuilding Retrofitting, and oEco-labeling of Building Processes and Materials.


GREEN BUILDING FRAMEWORK


8

Objectives of the FrameworkObjectives of the Framework

• To proactively inform and support development of green building plans and programmes;

• To identify opportunities and threats to green building;

• To identify key strategic areas to meet national requirements;

• To integrate and consolidate principles of green building across areas regions and sectors;

• To focus on enhancement of human settlements and social cohesion and

• To integrate the concept of green building into immovable asset formation in South Africa.


9

How the Framework will be UsedHow the Framework will be Used

• To be used by all organs of state;

• Progressive refinement of policies, programmes and action plans;

• Development of National Green Building Indicators;

• Set National Green Building Standards and Guidelines;

• Introduce Green Building skills development and training programmes and

12

2008/9 allocation R20m Retrofitting measures implemented in Pretoria Regional Office – covered

22 sites comprising of 1,981 buildings;

Project was completed in March 2009 on budget with an annual saving of R4.9m;

The project was on lighting retrofits of 53,026 luminaries (T5) in 1,981 buildings in Pretoria

Area which saved 3,177.66KW;

2009/10 allocation of R35m for retrofitting 17 sites comprising of 1206 buildings

including Union Building with total power saving of 3,473.30kw/h, annual saving of

R8,202,161.64 and

2010/11 and 2011/12 allocation of R75m and R70m respectively and transferred to IDT, for energy efficiency projects.

National Treasury Allocations


13

Programme Background:

• DPW appointed the Independent Development Trust (IDT) to implement the Energy Efficiency Programme (EEP);

• The programme was aimed at reducing the electricity consumption at selected DPW facilities through a targeted energy efficiency intervention;

• DPW identified 120 facilities as follows:• Eastern Cape (60), • Mpumalanga (30) and • Northern Cape (30)]

The programme was undertaken over two financial years i.e. FY 2010/2011 and FY 2011/2012.

•Scope of Works:o The energy efficiency intervention focused primarily on lighting and remote metering at various

state-owned facilities.

Projects Implemented through IDT


14

Annual Energy Savings per province

Assumptions: 1. The hours of operation of each facility are different, for this programme the operational hours was kept at 12 hours per day, and 365 days was used to determine the Annual energy savings.

2. The rate/ tariff of 40c per kWh was used to calculate Annual Energy savings’ cost

Conclusion on Implemented Projects

• Some of the challenges encountered include the following:- Dedicated professional services unit with qualified electrical

engineers aligned to size of portfolio;- Intensifying Monitoring and Evaluation - Partnership with DOE need

to be instutionalised – MOU;- Engagement with Eskom Demand Management rebate programme

whereby ESKOM funds 70% of the retrofit for commercial (public) buildings and DPW to pay in 30% for the total retrofit which will derive more benefit for state properties;

- The energy efficiency initiatives were implemented successfully due to the remarkable commitment of all stakeholders;

- The IDT has completed all programmes over the two financial years i.e. FY 2010/2011 and FY 2011/2012 and currently is not working on any further initiatives in this regard as National Treasury Funding ended in 2011/12 Financial Year .


CURRENT GREEN BUILDING PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS


17

Shared Energy Savings Contracts at DPW

•Shared Energy Savings Contracts is an international model of Energy Performance Contracting where a private investor installs, at own risk, technology to achieve energy savings in client buildings. Return on investment is realised through sharing in achieved energy savings;

•DPW has current Shared Energy Savings Contracts established in 2008 and 2010 in 5 Regions namely Durban, Mmabatho, Polokwane, Pretoria, and Cape Town;

•A number of technology retrofits have been effected through the contracts, with energy consumption savings achieved;

•As part of scaling-up energy efficiency new Shared Energy Savings Contracts have been implemented in six Regions which did not have contracts in place. These are Johannesburg, Mthatha, Nelspruit, Bloemfontein, Kimberly, and Port Elizabeth;

•In improving from old contracts, the new contractors will have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) signed with DPW. An SLA will also be entered into with old contractors;

•The SLA will ensure that independent Monitoring and Verification (M&V) of reported savings and project implementation;

•There is a need of improving technology mobilisation in order to specify the types of technology needed;


18

Interventions at Parliament Buildings• 90 Plain Street started on 11 March 2014 final handover 11 March 2015;

• Parliament Marks Building 2 Feb 2015 Handover on 19 June 2015;

• Parliament 120 Plein street parking 4 March 2015 Handover on 14 July 2015

• Tuinhuis 13 March 2015 Handover 13 July 2015


19

The Department of Public Works will be undertaking an independent Monitoring and Verification of

new shared energy savings contracts as part of the Service Level Agreement.

Initial sample of Monitoring and Verification have been undertaken in the following building: Pretoria

; Durban and Cape Town, the result indicated that :

a)Savings have been achieved in the sample buildings and

b)There is a risk of lack of on-going independent monitoring and verification of invoicing from

Municipalities and reported energy savings.

DPW will be undertaking a full independent M and V exercise on all old energy savings contracts;

M and V is expected to provide skills development and Job opportunities to young people and

unemployed graduates as this process will be part of the National – Provincial Implementation plan

Independent Monitoring and Verification (M &V) of Energy Savings Contracts
