Need to go Green?
The construction and design industry in South Africa has been hungry for green products. The availability of cost-effective and easily accessible environmentally friendly options has unfortunately been low. However, DesignMind has recently been informed of a new company that is taking hold of the green industry and propelling us towards an international standard- 'Because saving money makes sense.' Last month we focused on going green and after we published our monthly newsletter we were bombarded with requests for a company in SA that can provide our members with an answer to eco-friendly building. We found EcoBoys.
Eco Boys guarantees the following bottom line savings -
Electricity Savings:
Flourescent Lighting: 52% to 75%
Down Lights: 80% to 90%
High Bay Lighting: 40% to 80%
Water Heating: 40% to 90%
Standby Power: 99%
Water Savings:
Showering: Approx 60%
Taps: Approx 70%
Toilets: Approx 50%
Urinals: 99%

Sarah, I hear Phillip Newmarch when he says that clients build buildings - we celebrate the patrons nowadays and not the architects (perhaps that's a function of the political climate - we don't celebrate people but push them down, subvert them with…
