The project involves funding to pilot IoT energy management and lighting efficiency retrofits at 75 no-fee schools in the Western Cape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first school to benefit from this project was Cloetesville Primary School \u2013 known as the Green School \u2013 which received a 7.5kW PV system, generating approximately 14MWh (14 000 units) of electricity per year, negating almost 13 tonnes of CO2 annually and saving R20 000 per year while selling electricity back to the grid. The Green School also became the country\u2019s first school and second building to receive an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloetesville Primary will now be upgraded to a hybrid system with a hybrid inverter and batteries. Next in line is Cloetesville Secondary School, which will be equipped with energy-saving systems as part of SU\u2019s social impact programme. From their side, the WCED will roll out similar programmes to another seven schools in the Western Cape region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Leslie van Rooi, Senior Director Social Impact and Transformation at SU, said the University has contributed just over R1 million to this project. \u201cWe do this because we believe in the possibilities of our local schools and because we know that our collaboration, support, and learning together are fundamental to SU and our town\u2019s possibilities. The University is very grateful that we can join hands this way. This complements other SU-related activities and collaborations in our local schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Thinus Booysen, Professor and Chair of the Internet of Things at the Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University said load shedding and the cost of electricity have a devastating impact on our economy. \u201cThe cost is not limited to business, as they directly affect operations at what we believe to be the lifeline of our fledgling democracy: schools. We are incredibly privileged to have the support of Stellenbosch University\u2019s Division for Social Impact to effect real change at the schools that need it most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis intervention at necessitous schools will substantially reduce their monthly electricity expenses, reduce their carbon footprint, and keep essential services going through bouts of load shedding. Moreover, the burden on our frail grid will be reduced, immediately benefitting us all,\u201d Booysen added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope that this much-needed change will not only positively impact the effects of load shedding and electricity costs but also aid learners\u2019 learning experiences. After all, as part of science for society, our learners should understand how energy produced by the sun can be stored and used at our schools,\u201d said van Rooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason Samuels, who recently received his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof Booysen, and his team have spent the past two years covering many miles to do extensive energy audits at various schools to determine how it can retrofit them with energy-saving lights and meters to measure and manage their usage. \u201cBy doing this, we reduce a school\u2019s energy bills with anything from 21 percent to as much as 39 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the challenge of loadshedding, there is light at the end of the tunnel for another school in Stellenbosch \u2013 iKaya
