Energy saving evolves business opportunities

The Environment Bureau spends around 4.5 billion dollars on promoting Buildings Energy Efficiency Funding Scheme. Within those 4.5 billion dollars, 3 billion will be used for energy efficiency projects including improvement of lighting performance, electricity, air-conditioning, life system, etc. inside a building. The remaining 1.5 billion dollars will be spent for Energy-cum-carbon Audit Projects in order to raise an intention of energy saving.

The Authority is now inviting applications of residential, industrial and commercial buildings for Energy-cum-carbon Audit Projects. The application period is still opened for three years or until running out of the Fund. It is anticipated that more than 1,600 projects can be created and bring more creditable business / employment opportunities for E&M, building services engineering, environmental engineering or related industries.

Ways to slow down the green-house gas emission:

1. Turn off lights that are not in use. Affix "Safe Energy" stickers near the switched as a reminder.
   Cut down the number of lumps in an area when day light is sufficient.
2. Use more daylight if possible to reduce energy consumption.
3. Keep all windows, lights and light fittings clean and maintain optimum performance.
4. Replace incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps affixed with the Energy Labels and save $80 per 60W bulb each year.
5. Replace "fat" tubes (T10 or T8 fluorescent lamps) with "thin" tubes (T5 fluorescent lamps). For 1,000 m2 office, an electricity cost of up to 10,000 can be saved each year.
6. Install occupancy sensors to turn off lights automatically in public areas such as corridor, toilets, etc.
7. Replace conventional "Exit" signs with LED "Exit" signs and save up to $220 of electricity cost per sign each year.
8. Replace tungsten halogen "spotlight" lamps with compact fluorescent lamps and save up to $70 of electricity cost per 50W bulb each year.

Energy-cum-carbon auditing scheme helps landlords to investigate their building for energy consumption and green-house gas emission effectively and systematically. The scheme can also promote opportunities of effective use of energy, energy saving and reduction of green-house gas emission.

The 4.5 billion dollars' funding scheme encourages landlords to increase energy efficiency of building. It also boosts energy saving industries to expand their markets. Landlords or other contractors may employ companies for energy saving plans or energy / carbon auditing. Most corporations may introduce energy saving products which bring more business opportunities.

The Hong Kong College, which also provides training on energy management / energy saving, helps professionals to raise relevant knowledge. It prepares engineers to study a Certified Carbon Auditor Professionals (CAP) course in Hong Kong.

Building Maintenance Vs Facilities Management

Many people think that Facilities Management (FM) is only related to property management, operation, cleaning, security, catering, transportation and other building-related services. However, it’s not that simple. FM covers comprehensive services which also include construction, building maintenance (BM) and other strategic approaches.

There three possible core issues when discussing FM. The three issues involve cost, process and quality. Reducing the cost but maintaining a high standard of services quality is a kind of challenge. The operation processes that maintain a high quality services involve a strategic planning. Building Maintenance (BM), which is a sub-category under FM, is an example. It requires strategic directions for maintenance strategy.

FM combines with many aspects to meet the need of users of a building. It’s also concentrate on the environment of the building. To succeed, FM requires operational staff to perform appropriate process with supervision and control. It’s also a strategic development that requires maintenance personnel at the operational level to manage its operational processes, such as strategic planning and daily routines. Therefore, FM is not a standalone activity and it’s a kindly of support to the top management. Clear directions and instructions to operational and frontline staff should be made in order to realize a strong organization in core business.

專業培訓課程 協助員工提升競爭優勢

隨著物業管理及工程界不斷提升專業水平及擁有更好前景，不少年青人表示有興趣入行或留守發展。要提高專業水平，有賴持續進修及相關培訓課程，以應付行業的多元化及變遷。

縱使有全球金融危機，工程界及物業管理人才依然保持專業水平，原因在於不斷開發、顧及職業安全及注重環保等。與此同時，當業界不斷發展，絕大部份企業均意識到內部培訓的重要性，希望員工持續獲得更新的知識及改善技術水平。

培訓員工對企業非常重要。實用的培訓課程能使學員看得更高更遠。特別是工程界，建築技術及科技日新月異、管理模式每天不斷更新，企業可透過內部培訓或與外界合辦專業培訓課程，使員工獲得最新知識。

例如香港工程師學會 (HKIE) 的「A計劃」(Scheme A)，可供所有會員累積培訓時數。所有培訓時數可視作曾參與持續專業發展 (CPD) 的進修證明繼而提升會員等級。「A計劃」能有效維持、改善及擴展會員相關的技能及知識，以協助會員完成工程師的專業職責。此計劃鼓勵會員參與培訓，令會員得益同時惠及各大企業機構。

香港設施工程學院 (HKCE) 與香港工程師學會簽定 CPD 培訓課程合作協議，學院能為所有香港工程師學會會員提供認可的培訓課程。課程內容獲 HKIE 委員會委員通過及核准。學員完成相關的培訓課程後，便可獲得認可的培訓時數，以符合學會對會員的要求。

企業培訓

澳門的工程業界近年不斷發展。縱使環球經濟衰退及近期多個大型地盤停工，很多工程公司仍然投放資源作培訓用途。作為一間提供專業培訓課程的機構，設施工程學院最近獲邀到澳門為澳門工程師學會及盧梁建築工程設計顧問公司舉辦一連串短期培訓課程，內容包括：

(1) 物業及設施管理
(2) 機電運作及維修
(3) 屋宇裝備工程
(4) 項目管理
(5) 建築安全
(6) 環保工程
(7) 消防工程
(8) 能源工程

澳門工程師學會會長梁文耀先生認為，工程業界特別需要專業技術培訓，因澳門的工程師水平良莠不齊，業界應有一套統一的考核標準。工程師只有提升專業、學術及技術水平才會成功。

澳門、香港及國內的工程企業 / 人才正不斷銳變、裝備自己。各大機構、酒店、政府部門漸漸加強內部培訓，以迎接今年或將來的變遷。

上述所有培訓課程由香港設施工程學院舉辦，詳情請瀏覽網頁：http://www.hkceedu.org/
