Government’s programme to make thousands of buildings in South Africa more energy efficient and able to contribute multiple economic and environmental benefits to the country is being stepped up.
The South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) is leading an initiative in which 50 qualified, and mostly unemployed, young electricians will be trained to enable them to obtain the energy usage data required to issue Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) which give buildings a rating based on the amount of energy consumed per square metre.
