BUTLER SITALI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ENERGY REGULATION BOARD (ERB)

1. ERB’S PERSPECTIVE TO THE FUTURISTIC BUILT ENVIRONMENT AS PERTAINS TO ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY BUTLER SITALI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ENERGY REGULATION BOARD (ERB)

2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE • SUB SECTORS REGULATED BY THE ERB • ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OVERVIEW • ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY • WHY SHOULD THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT INCORPORATE ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY? • HOW CAN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT INCORPORATE ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY? • CONCLUSION

3. SUB SECTORS REGULATED BY THE ERB • ERB REGULATES THE ENERGY SECTOR • THE ENERGY SECTOR ENCOMPASSES: • ELECTRICITY • PETROLEUM • OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY SUCH AS SOLAR & COAL • ELECTRICITY SUB SECTOR • GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION AND SUPPLY

4. ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OVERVIEW • MAJOR CONSUMERS OF ELECTRICITY • MINING • INDUSTRIAL (NON MINING) • ‘THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT’ ( OFFICES, HOSPITALITIES, HOUSEHOLDS, SCHOOLS e.t.c.) • CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY NOT DIRECTLY REGULATED • HOWEVER ERB DOES TAKE AN INTEREST (DEMANDS IMPLEMENTATION ON THE PART OF THE UTILITY, CONDUCTS DIRECT PROMOTIONS TO THE PUBLIC)

5. ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY • ENERGY CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY FOCUSES ON USING A REDUCED QUANTITY OF ENERGY TO UNDERTAKE THE SAME ACTIVITIES AS BEFORE. IT CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH: • USING ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES • USING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES INSTEAD OF NON RENEWABLE ONES • REDUCING LOSSES IN PROCESSES

6. ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY ctd. • ERB ASPIRES TO FACILITATE UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ENERGY SERVICES AND PRODUCTS THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND NON-CONVENTIONAL FORMS OF ENERGY (INSTITUTIONAL STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 4)

7. INCORPORATION INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT – WHY? • EASIEST WAY TO ACHIEVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS WHEN A NEW BUILDING IS BEING PLANNED • INCORPORATION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCTION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION • REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION CONTRIBUTES POSITIVELY TO SUCH GLOBAL EFFORTS AS POLLUTION REDUCTION, CLIMATE CHANGE REDUCTION E.T.C.

8. INCORPORATION INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT – WHY? ctd • IMPORTANT TO MAINSTREAM ENERGY EFFICIENCY INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY COSTS ARE PROJECTED TO INCREASE • RAISING AWARENESS WILL INFORM CONSUMERS AND HELP THEM SAVE MONEY!

9. INCORPORATION INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT – HOW? • PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGNS • ORIENTATION OF BUILDINGS • HEATING & COOLING • USE OF ENERGY EFFICIENT BULBS/SWITCHES • 100 W TRADITIONAL BULB = 20 W ENERGY EFFICIENT BULB. • HUMAN SENSOR SWITCHES TO CONTROL LIGHTS IN ROOMS SUCH AS LAVATORIES, DINING & MEETING ROOMS • SOLAR WATER HEATING

10. INCORPORATION INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT – HOW? • SOLAR PANEL MOUNTED ROOFING • IN HOSPITALITY ESTABLISHMENTS, ENERGY CONSERVATION WOULD ENTAIL SUCH ASPECTS AS USING THE RESIDUAL STEAM FROM THE LAUNDRY FOR CENTRAL HEATING • COLLABORATING WITH UTILITIES AS RELATES TO OPERATION OF SMART GRIDS • DELIVERY OF ELECTRICITY TO CONSUMERS USING TWO WAY DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TO CONTROL CONSUMER APPLIANCES • POTENTIAL ENERGY & COST SAVINGS; RELIABILITY & TRANSPARENCY GAINS

11. CONCLUSION • HOW CAN THE ZAMBIAN FUTURISTIC BUILT ENVIRONMENT INCORPORATE ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY? • ERB REGULATES THE GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION & SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY • CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT NOT REGULATED BY THE ERB • CITY (& DISTRICT) COUNCILS ARE MANDATED TO APPROVE ALL BUILDING PLANS

12. CONCLUSION ctd. • THE ERB WOULD BE GLAD TO INPUT INTO THE BUILDING PLANS APPROVAL PROCESS AS PERTAINS TO ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY • THE ERB PIONEERED THE FORMULATION OF ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS (ONLY APPLICABLE TO UTILITY ELECTRICITY NETWORKS) • NEED FOR BUILT ENVIRONMENT ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY STANDARDS TO BE DEVELOPED & IMPLEMENTED!
