Another goal is to develop technical, managerial, and administrative leadership within the townships. A major component of the plan is the building of energy efficient homes that require little or no heat for warmth in the winter, and are comfortable in the summer. This is a fully insulated structure that incorporates passive solar design, energy efficient appliances, and environmentally friendly technologies such as passive solar water heating, and water conserving devices. Where possible, recycling and reuse of selected materials is encouraged. The structure can be of any design and size.
Residents supplement their use of electricity with lower priced fossil fuels.
Because of this, we encourage and include where possible the use of clean fuels, such as renewables, low-smoke fuels, and natural gas. This project allows a country to significantly meet many of its developmental goals, while simultaneously reducing the potential to significantly increase its emission of Greenhouse gases. This project can be replicated on a massive scale. Because of these attributes, this project was selected by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as one of the projects it calls a No Regrets case study. He outlines the Zambian context where no JI projects have taken place to date and emphasises the structures required in Zambia to ensure that environmental and developmental projects can be developed.
