  10. PREVIOUS GREEN BUILDING PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TRADING ENTITY

  11. Achievements on Previous Shared Energy Contracts Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  12. National Treasury Allocations • 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. Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  13. Projects Implemented through IDT 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: • The energy efficiency intervention focused primarily on lighting and remote metering at various state-owned facilities. Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  14. Achievements in EC, MP & NC under EEP 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 Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  15. 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 .

  16. CURRENT GREEN BUILDING PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TRADING ENTITY

  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; Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  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 Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee

  19. Independent Monitoring and Verification (M &V) of Energy Savings Contracts • 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 : • Savings have been achieved in the sample buildings and • 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 Green Building Framework DPW Portfolio Committee
