Kayema’s Standard Bank Hybrid Solar and Heat Pumps Project nominated for a SANEA ENERGY AWARDS 2011 Awards to be announced at a Ceremony & Gala Dinner taking place on 25 August 2011

Today it was announced that Kayema’s project completed for Standard Bank at their head quarter building in the CBD of Johannesburg was nominated for the SANEA ENERGY PROJECT AWARD 2011

Kayema Energy Solutions designed, installed and commissioned a solar-heat pump hybrid system at Standard Bank’s head office complex in Johannesburg. The system, commissioned in November 2010, is expected to reduce electricity demand by around 500 000kWh per year.According to James Shirley, General Manager of Kayema, Standard Bank took the initiative to fund the project themselves, as part of their drive to take a strong leadership role in SA and reduce the electricity demand of their buildings. The results of this project will have far reaching effects, both in terms of energy savings, and as proof to other organizations that the technologies work well pay for themselves. Having set the example on a corporate level, the Bank have subsequently rolled out a scheme allowing special rates for staff members wishing to install solar water heaters at their own homes.
