SPARKNET organisation profile

International Institute for Energy Conservation

Associate

IIEC is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation focusing on the promotion of sustainable energy policies, technologies and practices in developing countries. This is done through implementation of projects funded by various local and international donor organisations.

IIEC Africa promotes energy and transport options that address both the developmental and environmental imperatives of the African continent.

In South Africa, IIEC supports various housing development initiatives to ensure that the opportunity for more efficient and healthier low cost homes is not missed.

IIEC Africa is also actively involved in global climate change work in order to minimise the effects of GHG emissions in South Africa. For example, IIEC Africa’s Green Buildings programme seeks to reward owners of buildings who make their facilities more efficient, healthier, and environmentally-friendly than normally required. In addition, IIEC Africa is also examining how to accelerate the market penetration of energy efficient lighting and investigating the option of local manufacture or assembly to make this technology more affordable to home owners.
