Master plan for long-term energy efficiency and exploitation of regenerative energies, Ministry of the Environment Commonwealth of The Bahamas
Fichtner prepares a master plan to promote energy efficiency in hotels, residential buildings, public buildings, etc. and to exploit renewable energies for long-term reduction of dependency on oil imports. Considered for power generation are, among others, wind energy, solar photovoltaics, biomass and energy from the sea as well as energy recovery from wastes through thermal treatment and extraction of landfill gas. Also investigated is the application of solar thermal energy for water heating. Fichtner conducts energy audits in buildings, prepares a survey about existing appliances equipment, proposes energy efficiency measures and advises on regulatory adjustments.
Finally, obstacles to implementation are identified, environmental impacts and CDM potential are described together with a CDM program of activities, and a strategy is drawn up, including action on the political level, to realize the identified energy efficiency and renewable energy potentials.
