Balwin properties are the worst investment - The Huntsman

Dont be fooled by modern aesthetics because here no one gives a damn about you or the struggles of the economy. Balwin will not even review the hanging of clothes policy because they more concern about looks than people. They expect us to use expensive laundrys or tumble dryers that crease and damaged clothes. The code of conducts tells you about aircons and what sizes you can put in. The trustees reject your application because of this reason that no one told us about which is nonsense:

We hereby confirm that each apartment at the Huntsman development is equipped with a 40Amp mains supply circuit breaker. The mains circuit breaker in the apartment unit Db will trip should the 40Amp limit of the anarment be exceeded to protect ihe nostream network trom overioad conditions the electrica network in the develonment was desianed based on an Aiter Diversitied Maximum Demand (AMD) of 3KVA (13A) per apartment unit Ir accordance with the load estimation as prescribed in SANS 10142 excluding air conditioning. The AUMD is based on engineering design principles that take statistically proven coincidence factors into account when calculating the total demand. This principle implies that not all apartments will be fully occupied or take peak load at the same time of day. A network desian that caters for the sum of the full loads of all apartments will be impractical and is not the norm in engineering practice Based on the app**** coincidence factors and corresponding ADMD. it is not advisable to allow the installation of air-conditioning units in the apartments for the followina reasons 1. If air conditioning units are installed in all the apartments the design ADMA of 3kVA per unit will be exceeded 2. This will affect the low voltage reticulation network as under voltage and/or overload conditions can occur in peak consumption times. The low voltage reticulation network will therefore have to be redesianed based or higher ADMD per unit and the network will have to be uparaded where required (replacement of existing low voltage feeder cables with bigger cables) to accommodate the higher ADMD caused by the additional air conditionina load 5 | Page The Huntsman Trustees Landsdowne Estate Manager (Operation) Landsdowne Estate Manager (Operation) why can stack awav doors be useonin the patios Possibility of window cleaning service (2 - 3 times a year) Is there a maintenance schedule in place for the estate lighting - I emergency lighting on 3. The capacity of the miniature substations that supply the low voltage reticulation network will also be impacted by the higher ADMD. The loading on each miniature substation will have to be evaluated and where required miniature substations will have to be replaced with bigger units tc accommodate the higher AUMD caused by the additional air conditioning load. 4. To cater for the higher ADMD the notified maximum demand (NMD) of the 11k bulk supply point (utility connection point) for the development will also have to be increased as the higher ADMD will lead to a higher peak demand. Application to increase the MD will have to be submitted to the supply authority and additional connection fees and development contributions will be pavable A network study to analyse the effect of the additional air conditioning load (higher ADMD per unit) on the low voltage feeder network, the sizing of the miniature substations. and the NMD of the 11kV bulk supply point will therefore be required before air conditioning units are allowed. and the Bod Corporate will be required to uparade these components.

No answers with care are given. No one is interested in you and your needs. Everything is a problem here.

Good day

Thank you for your review, it has been escalated to the relevant department.
