About SAEE

Welcome to the new The Southern African Association for Energy Efficiency (SAEE) website.

The Southern African Association for Energy Efficiency (SAEE) is one of 82 chapters of the American Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). The SAEE supports the AEE’s mission to promote the scientific and educational interests of those engaged in the energy industry and to foster action for sustainable development. The SAEE is committed to increase energy efficiency awareness in its region by encompassing the dynamic fields of energy engineering and energy management, renewable and alternative energy, power generation, energy services, sustainability, and all related areas.

The SAEE offers a variety of information resource tools through an array of information outreach programmes, from technical seminars, conferences, a book shelf service, job listing opportunities, local media participation, radio marketing, social networking and local online videos, international certification training programmes, electronic newsletter communication, student involvement to critical buyer-seller networking trade exhibitions.

As a growing professional association, AEE’s overall strength is augmented by its strong membership base of over 16,000 professionals in 89 countries and its widely recognized energy certification programs.

The Southern African Energy Efficiency Convention (SAEEC) is an important energy event of national scope for end-users and energy professionals in all areas of the energy field. It is the one truly comprehensive forum where you can fully assess the "big picture" – and see exactly how all the economic and market forces, new technologies, regulatory developments and industry trends merge to shape the critical decisions on your organisation's energy and economic future.

The Southern African Association for Energy Efficiency (SAEE) has launched a pilot project in the Eastern Cape to fly the energy efficiency flag in the region. With the backing of 10 years of successful information dissemination, awareness creation, and energy engineering training in the industry, the Association is embarking on its second decade of ensuring that credible information is communicated countrywide.

The Council of Measurement and Verification Professionals of South Africa (CMVPSA) is an independent Measurement & Verification (M&V) body that represent the M&V industry and insure that the quality of M&V services and service providers are credible, trustworthy and transparent.
