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.
