CONTINUATION OF THE TECHNICAL SESSIONS:

The technical sessions on day 3 provided some very interesting

In particular, the following sessions were attended:
Main Entrance to KSC.
The key takeaway on this technical tour is the divine wisdom
given to us and the capacity to create like our Creator. What
a privilege!
The quote that resonates for me from the tour of the space
centre regarding our type of business is: ‘failure is not an option’.

Seminar 26: ASHRAE/REHVA Guidebook towards zero
energy hospital buildings
This session provided us with the trend and the scope of the
development of the new guidebook between ASHRAE and
the Federation of European Heating and Air-Conditioning
Associations (REHVA) unpacking real case studies of the use
in the industry. As South Africa and Africa are moving towards
sustainability, this is something to explore further.
