Yini ongayikhetha? Usebenza endaweni yokusebenza yemvelo noma yangaphandle noma uhlezi ehhovisi usuku lonke ngaphansi kokukhanyisa okwenziwe, uphefumula umoya ohlanzeke ngokuzenzela?
INingizimu Afrika inesimo sezulu esingcono kakhulu emhlabeni futhi izindawo zethu zokusebenza zingalandela inkambiso yomhlaba wonke yokusebenza ngaphandle kakhulu.
Ukusebenza ngaphandle kungazuzisa impilo yakho kanye nokukhiqiza futhi futhi kuzinzile, kuyilapho kukusondeza emvelweni. Umqondo wendawo yokusebenza ‘we-biophilic’ uyindlela eklanyweni ehlose ukukhulisa ukuxhumana kwabantu bezakhiwo nemvelo yemvelo, kuchaza uLinda Trim, umqondisi we-Giant Leap, isazi sokuklama indawo yokusebenza.
“Kusetshenziswa izinto ezinjengokukhanya kwemvelo, ukungena komoya, indawo yemvelo nezimo zesikhala, izakhiwo zisebenza njengebhuloho elivumela abantu ukuthi baxhumane nemvelo ngenkathi besendlini, kodwa liya ngokuya lidlula ukungenisa ngaphandle: empeleni abantu basebenza ngaphandle.”
U-Trim uthi ucabanga ukuthi izinkampani eziningi zaseNingizimu Afrika zizokwamukela lokhu kuthambekela okudumile emhlabeni wonke njengoba ukuxhumana ngqo nezitshalo eziluhlaza kuyindlela eqondile nesetshenziswa kabanzi yokugqugquzela lokho kuxhumana kwabantu nemvelo.”

Ihlathi elingaphakathi ehhovisi?
U-Anthony Karam, inhloko yezokuklama yakwaGiant Leap, uthi inkampani isanda kuphothula incwadi emfushane yokuklama inkampani ehamba phambili yebhizinisi lamazwe ngamazwe ekhipha imisebenzi efuna ihlathi elingaphakathi nendawo yemakethe ukuxhuma indawo yokusebenzela engaphakathi kwedolobha nendawo yokuzizwa yemvelo ukuze abasebenzi bahlukane, bahlanganyele futhi bahlanganyele phakathi kwezingcingo.
I-Trim ithi ngaphakathi nangaphandle ubukhona bezitshalo, izici zamanzi, izingadi nezindonga eziluhlaza kubalulekile ukuze abasebenzi bathole izinzuzo zokuba seduze nemvelo. Ukwengeza, izinto zemvelo, njengezinkuni netshe zengeza umuzwa wemvelo jikelele.
“Umuzwa wokuphumula nokuphumula kulezi zindawo eziluhlaza kanye nezikhala eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka waziwa ukunciphisa ingcindezi, umfutho wegazi ophansi kanye nokushaya kwenhliziyo, ukuthuthukisa isimo sengqondo nokuzola nokuphulukiswa ngokushesha,”
Ukudala inethiwekhi yezindawo zangaphandle ezisebenzisekayo eziqondene kakhulu ne-microclimate ezungezile eNingizimu Afrika kungethula izindlela ezintsha zokusebenza emsebenzini ezingenakuphindwaphindwa ekhaya noma ezakhiweni zamahhovisi ezivamile.
“Cabangela ukuxhumana okuqondile nemvelo emile yesitshalo esisebhodweni noma imvelo eguquguqukayo yomoya ohelezayo okuye kwaboniswa ukwandisa ukugxila kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezinzuzo zokuqonda jikelele kubantu.”
Lawa mahhovisi angaphandle asebenza ngobudlelwano obukhona phakathi kwesakhiwo nomsebenzisi. I-Trim ithi amasu angenzi lutho, afana nomthunzi nomoya omncane wemvelo, anika amandla isakhiwo ukusiza ukulawula izinga lokunethezeka labasebenzi ngenkathi beqinisekisa ukunethezeka kwabo ngendlela yalokho abakugqokayo.

Ukusebenza endaweni ebonakalayo
“Esimeni sethu esibonakalayo esikhulayo, ukwamukela indawo ebonakalayo, ye-analogue esizungezile kubaluleke kakhulu kunangaphambili. Ngalo mqondo, ukufuna i-ejensi yomuntu siqu akuvumeli nje kuphela ukuthi ngamunye wethu enze izimo zokusebenza ezithambile nezingcono kakhulu kodwa futhi kuklwebha lokho kuluma komuntu kokuba khona endaweni esihlala kuyo.”
Uthi isibonelo esihle iphrojekthi Yesifunda Sobuciko e-Los Angeles, lapho cishe amaphesenti angu-20 ezindawo zamahhovisi atholakala ngaphandle, ngokuslayida okuxhumeke ngaphakathi/ngaphandle.
“Umklamo usebenzisa ngokugcwele isimo sezulu saseNingizimu California, lapho libalele u-75% wonyaka kanye nezinga lokushisa elijwayelekile kuma-20s – njengaseNingizimu Afrika. Lezi zindawo zamahhovisi zivulekile noma zinomthunzi ngaphandle ezinotshani noma izindawo ezingaphandle ezimboziwe, ezinezikhala ezinkulu ezilawulekayo ngaphakathi.”
Esinye isibonelo igceke elinomthunzi ngohlelo lwe-photovoltaic olunikeza cishe u-20% wamandla okwakha kuyilapho kufiphaza izindawo eziningi zamahhovisi eziluhlaza. Ama-shades anyakazayo kanye nama-misters angasetshenziswa ehlobo nasebusika, izigqoko, izikhafu namajakhethi e-puffer sekuphinde kube yizesekeli zemfashini ezibalulekile endaweni yokusebenza ye-biophilic uma abantu besathanda ukusebenzela ngaphandle njengoba abaningi bethanda.
“Ukufaka imigomo ye-biophilic design ezindaweni zokusebenza kungaba nezinzuzo ezifinyelela kude kubantu ngabanye kanye neplanethi. Yonke indawo yokusebenza ine-microclimate yayo kanye nesiko lomsebenzi. Izingxenye zendawo yokusebenza ze-biophilic zihlala zifana, kodwa ingxenye yokusetshenziswa ingalinganiswa nezimo zendawo. “
