Tanzania
Background
• Integrated Resources and Resiliency Program
(IIRP) program
• Key Objectives of green building work stream
– Support the green buildings movement in Tanzania.
– Support the development of green buildings technical capacity
and market awareness.
– Foster a thriving private market in green building technologies
and services.

What is an Energy Assessment/ Audit?
• The process in which energy efficiency opportunities
in an existing building are identified and
recommended.
– They can be performed on a single building, or as a part of an effort
across an owner’s entire portfolio.

• Energy assessment can help identify:

– No-cost operational or maintenance adjustments that will save energy.
– Cost-effective, short-term, low-cost energy efficiency opportunities

Case Studies Development
• Hotel Ramada Encore
• Protea Hotel by Marriott
• Protea Hotel at Oyster Bay
• Kigambuni Residential Development
• Serena Hotel
• JMM Mall
• Standard Charted Bank

4
Walk-through Energy Assessment Process
Step 1
• Collect information on historical
energy use of the building (at
least the last 12 months of
operation).

5
Walk-through Energy Assessment Process
Step 2
• Perform site visit and gather
data on operation of the
building.

6
Walk-through Energy Assessment Process
• Step 3: Identify potential energy efficiency measures to reduce energy
use and costs.

7
Walk-through Energy Assessment Process
• Step 4: Engineering and economic analysis.

8
Walk-through Energy Assessment Process
• Step 5: List appropriate energy
efficiency measures in a report
covering Steps 1-4.
