【 摘 要 】

The Thermal Insulation Association of South Africa (TIASA) is supporting government measures to promote energy efficiency in South African buildings. The research document titled: ‘New standards of thermal design to provide comfort and energy efficiency in South African housing’, has been adopted by TIASA, and details an objective basis for a standard. The S.A.N.S. 283 titled: ‘Energy efficiency for naturally ventilated buildings’ has as its premise, the same assumptions and methodologies as the research document. The provision of comfort in all housing in South Africa, including the problematic 30/36 m2 subsidy house – can be a reality with the proposals.
