| ‘Greenest’ building in the country | |
 In Cape Town the proposed annex to the Cape Town Conference Centre could become the ‘greenest’ building in the country. Details of the R1.4 billion expansion to the CTICC were unveiled by Rashid Toefy CEO of Convenco.
The old Customs House would be demolished to make way for the extension. The new ‘green’ building would have a six star rating according to the Green Building Council of South Africa. It is designed to use 40% less energy per square metre than the existing CTICC with 95% less potable water and 25% less waste to landfill. The roof is designed to be a planted green roof. There will be a grey water treatment facility and a sea water cooling system. The target dated for completion is 2012.
