This module addresses the growing demand for cooling in the EAC and SADC regions, emphasizing the need for energy-efficient cooling technologies using low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants. It covers refrigeration and air conditioning fundamentals, aligns with international frameworks like the Montreal Protocol, and focuses on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
This course provides participants with an understanding of the basic concepts, applications, components, design, business models, operation and maintenance of PUE technologies and systems. The course includes concepts on clean cooling, solar powered irrigation, solar drying, solar powered milling, maintenance and servicing, testing and standards, business models and financing for PUE.
This course provides participants with an
understanding of the business opportunities in energy efficiency. The course
explains several energy efficiency service business models and how they can be
used for the benefit of both private and public sector energy users. In
addition to benefiting the energy service businesses, energy users and
economies of the 21 countries in the EAC and SADC regions, the energy service
models can also contribute towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.
