‘Ek hou jou dop, Oom Seabelo!’ Ondersteuners van die Blitsbokke het reeds vanaf 09:30 in rye by die N1Stadwinkelsentrum in Goodwood gestaan om ’n handtekening te kry of om ’n rugbybal of trui te laat teken. Hier teken Seabelo Senatla die 2jarige Jaydian Mackenzie van Delft se kortbroek. Die Blitsbokke speel op Saterdag 18 November teen die Scoresewesspan in ’n opwarmingswedstryd voordat hulle hul wêreldti tel van HSBC se Sewesreeks op Vrydag 1 en Saterdag 2 Desember in Dubai gaan verdedig.
onstructing buildings that are environmentally friendly is vital and may just be one of the things that saves us in the future. This is the message of Warren Hewitt, CEO of the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP). “The availability of natural resources to fuel our energy demand going forward is going to be the problem,” Hewitt says. “Any measure that we take now to reduce that consumption will be positive for our country and the environment.” Over the past few months, a number of buildings in the Tygerberg region have been refurbished with the environment in mind And with Cape Town facing a drought crisis, these types of upgrades are more relevant than ever. The Karl Bremer Hospital site is one of the developments leading the pack. This upgrade, which was completed in July to the tune of R152 million, has already received a coveted five-star rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). The facility provides office accommodation for 320 Western Cape Department of Health staff members. Among the unique features is a blackwater treatment plant where sewerage water is cleaned for reuse. This reused, treated water is used in the ventilation, heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system of the facility.
“The water requirements of the system are low because it is air-cooled,” explains Byron la Hoe, spokesperson for the provincial Department of Transport and Public Works. The Edge building in Tyger Waterfront is another building in the area which has received the coveted five-star rating. The development has managed to reduce peak energy demand and e-energy consumption by as much as 75%. Sanral’s Western Region office on Wille van Schoor Avenue and Santam’s Glacier Place building have both received a four-star rating. The upgraded Louis Leipoldt Medical Centre, which was launched two weeks ago, also sports the use of Magnaboards by local company Magnastruct. These boards are made from magnesium oxide and are completely recyclable, as well as fire retardant. “We are seeing a great increase in the demand for Magnaboards, as businesses commit to using eco-friendly building materials,” Magnastruct managing director, Dave Lindup, says on their website. Business owners needn’t be wary of higher input costs. Hewitt says investing in environmentally friendly buildings needn’t be more expensive than traditional methods. “The earlier it is incorporated into the design, the lower the construction costs are. “In fact, green buildings are not only not more expensive, they are cheaper to run and provide a higher return on investment in the longer term.”
