Overview of the Implementation Manual

To download the manual, visit the Implementation Manual Download Page page [1]

This Manual has been designed for use by city officials and planners. It is a practical handbook, which identifies easy to achieve energy interventions that will save money (for cities, businesses and households), promote local economic development and enhance the sustainable profile of a city. This manual is specifically aimed as a support tool to achieve the implementation of key interventions within South African municipalities.

These key interventions have been identified as important and sensible starting points for cities. They are tackled as separate chapters in the manual:

Solar Water Heaters [2]  -(PDF [3])
Energy Efficient Lighting [4]  -(PDF [5])
Energy Efficient Building [6]  -(PDF [7])
Sustainable Transport Planning [8]  -(PDF [9])
Waste to energy with a primary focus on Landfill Gas [10]  -(PDF [11])
 

In each chapter, the manual will:
Make the case (broadly) for the intervention.
Explore the potential for mass rollout of the intervention to determine
      The energy and carbon savings resulting from the intervention
      The financial impact of the intervention
      Poverty alleviation through the intervention if applicable
Identify key barriers to mass rollout of the intervention, and highlight efforts to resolve these
Provide practical steps towards implementing city rollout of the intervention.

In addition to this the following interventions will be elaborated on:

Green Power Purchase [12]  -(PDF [13])
 Wind [14]  -(PDF [15])
 Concentrated Solar Power [16]  -(PDF [17])
 Solar Photovoltaics [18]  -(PDF [19])

These serve more as information and feasibility updates than implementation approaches.
