Green Community Expertise Office (GCEO) Comfort in a healthy environment at a low price The Green Community Expertise Office is a spin-off of the Catholic University of Bukavu which was created on May 8, 2020. It is one of the aftermaths of the training on Photovoltaic Energy offered within the framework of “Bukavu, Green Community as pioneers of an integral and sustainable development in Democratic Republic of the Congo” project initiated by the Sant’Egidio Community in partnership with the Polytechnic University of Turin and the Catholic University of Bukavu (UCB). The training was offered to engineers by education and profession. The Green Community Expertise Office is made up of 13 electricians, mechanicals, computer scientists and civil engineers who form an unabridged team to reflect, conduct studies and audit, innovate, create, design, dimension and execute engineering projects which are more particularly focused on photovoltaic energy (Solar Energy) and more generally on electrical energy transformed from clean and renewable sources. To date, we can justify our experience for photovoltaic setups of around 50kWp in South Kivu. Our Concern Great Lakes countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo and more particularly Bukavu town are facing a problem of underdevelopment linked to the lack of infrastructure, electrical energy, access to potable water. Our main concern is development in a healthy and sustainable environment. Global warming, the preservation of the environment is a question that concerns everyone. The African continent is no exception. Moreover, the biggest challenge for an engineer today is to bring all his innovative and ingenious ideas while producing the least possible greenhouse effect, thus helping to fight against global warming. Our Vision No more amateurism for our energy comfort and security in our environments. Green Community Expertise Office believes in the ability of engineers and the versatility of its team to provide solutions to problems of comfort and energy security for a healthy living environment where life is good.

GCEO will visit your work or living environment, collect data for the analysis of the facilities in your environment, then produce a plan or report with recommendations for more comfort and safety in your home or work environment. After an energy audit, and following the auditor’s instructions, you can safely start or correct your installations. GCEO is not limited to the utilization of photovoltaic energy, we also exploit all renewable energies, according to their availability and / or the preference of the user. Our Ongoing Projects We have just completed the Study phase (audit and dimensioning) of a 15 kWp photovoltaic installation for the Wima High School, 15 kWp for the Catholic University of Bukavu (UCB) at UCB Mulindwa campus and 40 kWp at the Sant’Egidio Peace Center in Bukavu. We also conducted a feasibility study for Floribert Bwana Chuyi School in Goma. Implementations of all three are stuck due to the COVID-19 pandemic but will be possible very soon.
