3 1. WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO? The V&A Waterfront is a property development company. We want to continue growing. We believe that investments into green building technologies pays off. We are regarded as one of the best Waterfronts in the world and a premium tourist destination. In order for us to continue growing we have to improve our utilization of resources including water, electricity, types of materials used and waste recycling. We see ourselves as advocates for sustainability; we believe that by championing sustainability we can influence others to follow suit. We believe that sustainability from a social, environmental and economic perspective is all part of the same eco system. To leave a positive legacy and influence our immediate environment and community in a sustainable way. 3

4 2. HOW WE DO IT? We actively monitor our cost to income ratio. As a precinct, maintaining positive growth is important. Investments into green building technologies helps us to drive down cost. We actively look for opportunities to invest into green building technologies with a payback period of less than 8 years When developing new buildings we look for ways to optimize energy usage i.e. the installation of PV Cells (1455 kwp installed to date - going up to 3000 kwp) We install variable speed drives, which together with advanced use of Building Management System algorithms, control HVAC installations. We use borehole water for irrigation and make use of drip irrigation. We install building cooling technologies like the kw Seawater plant that cools down the new SILO District Buildings. 4

18 12. PAYBACK PERIOD The difference in plant costs between a DC Plant without seawater and a DC Plant with seawater is: Conventional plant R , and DC Plant is R R (2014). In 2017 this difference equates to R (10% Escalation per annum). Therefore payback period for the difference in investments= R /( )= 4 years. Therefore by 2019 difference in investment is paid off. Chemical cost for water treatment can also be added. R per annum. G-Chem Space that the cooling towers would have taken up on the roof. Decreased rental income due to plant space required. Plant space 6 Bays 180 m². R 2000/month per bay. R per year. R in total Income is also generated from billing R/kwhr for hotwater usage, chilled water usage and precooled water usage.make use of an Metasys Energy Measuring software with BTU meters.
