| "Professor
Yi Jiang, Head of Building Energy Research Centre, Tsinghua
University: Swire Properties is a reputable property developer
strong in energy performance, whereas Tsinghua is one of the
few universities in the Mainland that has demonstrated competence
in operational efficiency of buildings. I believe we can together
set a new benchmark on building energy efficiency for the industry." |
Background
In 2007, Swire Properties entered into collaboration
with the Building Energy Research Centre of Tsinghua
University to develop and promote energy efficient
operational practices and management in the PRC
and HKSAR.
Energy audit and on-site diagnosis
By November 2007, a detailed energy audit and
on-site diagnosis plan of the building service
system in Festival Walk were completed. By improving
operation and control, an estimated total saving
potential of up to 1,000 MWh, which is equivalent
to a reduction of 580 tonnes of CO2e
emission, is anticipated. Improvement plans will
be rolled out in 2008 so that similar exercises
can be conducted on other buildings.
