Calls for 250 buildings, five SMMEs to participate in EPC project

To accelerate the uptake of energy performance certificates (EPCs) in South Africa, the Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) and the Carbon Trust are calling for 250 building owners and five small, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs) to participate in an EPC project funded by UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (PACT). Since inception of the UK PACT-funded project in March 2021, the GBCSA and Carbon Trust have supported the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI), and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) with the implementation of a mechanism to support South Africa’s new EPC regulation that aims to drive energy disclosure within South Africa’s existing building stock.
