EFFICIENT HOUSING IN SOUTH AFRICA
Climate change and energy efficiency in housing:from 2005-6, Parallax was requested by the Project Preparation Trust of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa (PPT) to manage the implementation of a "climate change and energy" housing intervention.
HYBRID MINI-GRIDS
In 2008, Parallax was consulted by the Project Preparation Trust (PPT) in order to provide experience related to the installation and operation of mini-grids in South Africa.
APPLES
The APPLES Project, in which Parallax led the activity in rural areas, was financially supported by the European Commission as well as the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) in South Africa.
