Subject: [TC47-L] Looking for speakers for an ASHRAE seminar
From: "Beausoleil-Morrison, Ian" <ibeausol@...>
Date: Tue, November 12, 2002 9:16 pm
To: <TC47-L@...>

I am organizing a seminar for an upcoming ASHRAE meeting (either June
2003 or January 2004) with the working title "Successful applications of
energy simulation in building design".  Speakers are required to discuss
the following topics:

* Applying simulation during the preliminary and detailed design
phases to improve energy efficiency and to reduce capital and operating
costs.  This should not be for ultra high performing green buildings, but
rather for more conventional construction.
* Experiences in using simulation for qualifying for utility or
government incentive programmes.

If you fit the bill and are interested, please contact me before the end
of November.

Regards,
- Ian

TNB: Kalimantan coal mine viable
[Source : http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=15990 ]

Kuala Lumpur: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) regards its investment in a coal mine in
Kalimantan, Indonesia as viable and in line with its plan to reduce its
dependency on gas for power supply, chairman Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin, said
Tuesday.

He said TNB planned to acquire a 70 percent stake in Dynamic Acres Sdn Bhd,
which owns the coal mine in Kalimantan. The investment will be around US$85
million, of which 20 percent would be financed by TNB.

He said the remaining 80 percent would be financed by an international banker.

“One important aspect of this investment is that it is going to be financed
largely through a stand alone financing, which means the bank is going to take
the risk,” he told reporters after the company’s annual general meeting,
here.

The bank’s pay back period is five to six year’s, he said.

Awang Adek said TNB’s found that coal was the best alternative to produce
power because it was comparatively cheaper than gas.

Currently, power production in the country is largely dependent on gas as the
fuel with TNB alone consuming 60 percent.

“We are too dependent on gas as fuel, we have to diversify and coal is most
economic way because it is cheap and at the same time the present gas supply is
not enough,” he said.

He said with the investment in Kalimantan, TNB would be able to lock in a stable
supply of coal because Dynamic Acres’s reserves exceeded Tenaga’s
requirement of 27 million metric tonnes for a 15-20 year period.

“Whatever reserve is available is for us. Moreover, it’s not a new mine as
such the infrastructure is in place,” he said.

Asked on the company’s prospects for 2003, Awang Adek said that TNB expected
to maintain its current level of profitability.

For the year ended Aug 31, 2002, TNB posted a lower pre-tax profit of RM1.476
billion compared with RM2.193 billion in the previous year.

“TNB’s profit figures were influenced by its exposure to foreign debt, which
is significant, so we have revaluation of losses or gains, last year (2001) we
had substantial gains.

“Fundamentally our profits have not been down, we are maintaining the profit
between RM1.4 and RM1.7 billion,” he said.

He said despite the strong financial performance for 2002, TNB was not able to
pay higher dividend to its shareholder because it had to balance its expenditure
for future prospect.

It paid a gross dividend of 10.2 sen to its shareholders, even though it made
huge profit.

He said one had to understand that the company’s business was dependent on
long term investment and, “Our Capital Expenditure (Capex) annually is between
RM4 and RM5 billion and for 2002 it was RM6 billion.”

“A higher dividend means, Capex needs to be financed through borrowing which
is not in line with TNB’s vision which is to reduce its gearing ratio,” he
said.

He believed that the key financial initiatives taken by TNB had helped it reduce
its gearing ratio to 1.6 percent from 1.7 percent.

Asked whether TNB would embark on re-financing as part of debt management, Awang
Adek said: “We are looking at all options in terms of our debt management. The
main motivating factor is to reduce our gearing.”

He said refinancing, swapping debt’s and using more of domestic resources were
among the option’s available. “We would also take advantage of the low
interest rates regime,” he said.

On the bidding of Australian power company, Loy Yang Power, he said that it was
still at an initial stage and there were no commitments yet.

“We are in that business (power) we have to look at opportunities but the
domestic market is our main focus,” he said

On the power demand, TNB’s chief executive officer, Pian Sukro said that he
expected the demand in 2003 to be higher than what it was in 2002, reflecting
the country’s steady economy.

“We hope that it will be higher but at the moment we are projecting about five
to six percent,” he said.-Bernama

	 The objective of the workshop is to present the results of key projects on
energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings, in Malaysia and abroad. The
presentations will include presentation of two innovative buildings in Thailand,
buildings in Singapore and buildings from Germany. From Malaysia, the Novozym
building, the MECM LEO Building, the TNB Research Building in Banghi and, and SE
Asias largest solar PV system, the 362 kW PV system in Technology Park Malaysia.
These buildings in Malaysia will be visited in a study tour on the afternoon of
the second day of the conference.

	 The workshop will also present recent results on use of thermal insulation to
improve comfort and reduce energy consumption in the Malaysian housing sector,
and the results of a major project on improving energy efficiency in buildings
in Thailand will be presented.

	 Finally, the workshop will have two presentations on sustainability in

development of a Building Enviornment Assessment System for Singapore.



	 Audience

	 The audience for this workshop is the Malaysian building industry, academia and
decision makers from the public sector. This workshop is highly relevant for
architects, engineers, developers, contractors, university professors and
lecturers, and officers in the public sector working with the building sector.

SEMENYIH: The views of residents living near the proposed site for the
incinerator should be included in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
report, said Centre for Environment Technology & Development Malaysia (CETDEM)
executive director Gurmit Singh.

He said the EIA study should take into account the residents' view as they were
affected by the project.

Gurmit Singh was one of the speakers at a gathering held by residents in Broga
yesterday to voice their concern over the proposed incinerator.

He said that the Government should be more transparent and hold talks to explain
to the people about the incinerator project.

“The residents were worried that they daily life could be affected with the
setting up of the incinerator,” he added.

Broga Residents Association secretary Alice Lee Yoke Kim said the residents were
not consulted on the project.

The residents, she said, wanted the authorities to look for an alternative site
to relocate the proposed incinerator.

The Science, Technology and Environment Ministry had reassured the residents
that the Government would consider the welfare of the people and a series of
talks would be held and that the project would comply with the EIA report.

Kuala Lumpur Datuk Bandar Mohmad Shaid Mohd Taufek had also urged the urban
community to change its negative perception of garbage incinerators as the
facility would guarantee systematic and safe waste management for the future.

Dear All,

I refer to the above and take this opportunity to inform that the
Registrar of Societies (ROS) has approved the application to register
the (MEPA) in May 2002.

The formation of MEPA was inspired at the end of the National Convention
for Energy Professionals 2000 held at Nikko Hotel, Kuala Lumpur in
November 2000. A pro-tem committee was elected and made necessary action
to realise the idea. Some of you might attended the event.

I append the list of the committee members and a brief explanation on
MEPA for your information.

I am also pleased to invite energy managers to join this platform to
forge future energy scenario especially in energy efficiency and
renewable energy.

As to the activities of MEPA, the committee is in the midst of planning
them and we will keep you informed of any developments.  We welcome any
suggestions and ideas.  You can forward them to me or fax it over.
