Funds for the US$1.5million Air Conditioner Test Containment Building and the Testing Laboratory have been provided by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an Agency of the United States Government, under the Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management Project of the Ghana Power Compact.
The Facility, to be constructed on the premises of the Ghana Standards Authority, will support Government’s efforts towards implementing a national program that will enforce performance labeling of ductless RAC Systems. It will also ensure that appliances meet a minimum efficiency performance standard (MEPS) and contribute, to the efficient use of electricity.
In line with the Project implementation process, a Kick-off Meeting has been held in GSA’s Head Office in Accra on Friday May 29 2020 Project Stakeholders at the Meeting indicated their readiness to ensure the completion of the Project within the planned time schedule. The Meeting was also to certify that the Stakeholders understood their roles and were aligned on the Project’s objectives, expected deliverables and the working environment.
The Test laboratory will be equipped with a Balanced Ambient Room Calorimeter (BARC) Test Chamber for evaluation of the capacity and performance of Room Ambient Calorimeters (RACs), in accordance with the ISO 5151 Standards.
MiDA is also collaborating with the GSA on the development of Standards and Labels for 20 energy consuming electronic appliances.
Present at the Kick-off Meeting were Senior Officials of the GSA Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), led by Professor Alex Dodoo, Director General, Officials of MiDA, led by Ing. William Amuna, Technical Controller, Representatives of SMEC PTY, the Project’s Supervising Engineers and Messrs.
