The eco-friendly concept design and implementation includes standby electrical power supply which allows continuity of power supply to some critical areas during power outages within the facility. To achieve this, the facility makes use of the latest technological innovations such as the peak photo-voltaic system which generate electrical power from solar panels reducing operational costs and minimizing on the carbon footprint of the development. Further innovations includes LED lighting systems where practical which allows for a lower energy consumption, lower maintenance costs compared to conventional lighting and as a result reduced operational costs.
The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) on behalf of the City of Johannesburg will hand over the clinic to Department of health in August 2018.The overall cost for the construction of upgrading Ebony Park Clinic project is R45m, said Botes the JDA CEO.
