Event Name

BEC EnviroSeries Conference 2020: Urban Transport on the Move: Connecting Policies, People and Business Opportunities

Date / Time / Format

27 November 2020, 09:25 to 17:00, Online

Synopsis

Transport is an important sector in Hong Kong – it enables the movements of people and goods, facilitates Hong Kong’s efficient commercial and business functions, and contributes to Hong Kong’s economic performance. At the personal level, transport supports people’s mobility needs and gets them connected.

However, unchecked growth in motorisation, over-reliance on fossil fuel vehicles and a car-centric city planning culture will exacerbate the transport sector’s impact on the environment. There are calls for rethinking the role of transport in the urban landscape and how cities should be planned so as to balance maintaining the mobility functions and to minimising externalities such as air pollution, greenhouse gases emissions and the loss of public space. 

With COVID-19 and climate change, these questions become even more valid and pressing.  It is timely and necessary for policy makers, the business sector and the general public to explore how COVID-19 and decarbonsiation will reshape urban mobility. There are opportunities to respond to the changing mobility need of people and delivery of goods as well as to transform transport operation for better efficiency and enhanced resilience.

EnviroSeries Conference is one of BEC’s flagship events held twice per year that aims to provide a cross-sector forum to discuss and address key issues related to Hong Kong’s environmental sustainability. This is now an opportune time for us to re-visit and re-focus on transport.
 

Prgramme & Registration Details:

Session 1: Planning for a Sustainable and People-centric Urban Transport System

Abstract
Small city is the goal of many city government and Hong Kong is no exception. The government has embarked on an ambitious plan to development Hong Kong “[to] embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of living” (Hong Kong Smart City Blusprint, 2017). In this respect, effort in the private sector is also pivotal and facility management plays an important role. This also echoes the core value of IFMA in innovation and knowledge sharing. However, in the development of smart city, it is not uncommon to put emphasis only on smart devices as well as the collection and manipulation of big data, the humanistic aspect of smart city is easy to be undermined. In my presentation, I shall present a human-driven approach to smart city development and discuss on how facility management can facilitate such approach. It would ensure the investment in smart devices and the utility of big data can be fully explored for the improvement of quality city life as well as to advance facility management as a driving force of social development on top of its valuable contribution to economic development.

Abstract
20 years ago the Facility Management sector was not really popular for young Engineers willing to develop and put into practice their technical and innovative skills. Most FM companies were classified and recognized in their capabilities to propose a high level of Soft Services (i.e cleaning, security, waste management).

The traditional hard services (i.e HVAC, Fire Services, lighting) was a non negotiable must have to guarantee the comfort of the users but without real added value. More hidden the better it was. Today things are different because the needs are different both for users and owners. Comfort increasing , Energy savings, traceability and transparency changed the game. Hard Services is returning to the front of the stage and the technological development has radically transformed the role of the Facility Manager and its contractors.

To embrace this new challenges Southa Holdings has operated its digital transformation to propose toits Customers innovative and technological solutions. Energy Monitoring Center (HUBGRADE), Mobility solutions, predictive maintenance are one of our In-house solutions to fit our FM customers requirements.

Technical Webinar on New Regulatory Amendment of Minor Works Control System - Updated Requirements and Best Practices
22nd September 2020

Programme Highlight: 
The Minor Works Control System (“MWCS”) has proven to be a simple and convenient channel in carrying out minor building works under simplified requirements without the need to obtain prior approval of plans and consent to the commencement of such works from the BA.  Its implementation is generally welcomed by both the industry and the public.  Since its implementation beginning from 31 December 2010 and up to 31 December 2019, over 920 000 minor works (“MW”) submissions have been received.     

The Building (Minor Works) (Amendment) Regulation 2020 (“B(MW)(A)R 2020”) was gazetted on 8 May 2020 and will come into operation on 1/9/2020. This legislative amendment exercise would involve the addition of 70 MW items offset by the repealing of nine MW items, as a result of which the list of MW items would increase from 126 to 187.  56 existing MW items would also be amended.  In terms of Designated Exempted Works items, the legislative amendment exercise would increase the number from 15 to 30, while the presentation of eight existing items would be amended.  BSOMES has representative joining the Technical Committee of Buildings Department and provide opinions / comments from Industry on the implementation of the MWCS.  

In this seminar, the honourable speakers from Buildings Department will brief the major changes and new addition of MW items under the B(MW)(A)R 2020 including: 

• Greening features to promote a green and quality environment, e.g. planters, ponds or fountains; trellises; metal frames for growing of plants 
• Amenity features to improve the standard and quality of the building, e.g. supporting frame for suspending air conditioning plant inside building; ventilation ducts and associated frames; fire dampers in ventilation system; awnings 
• Building maintenance and repair features to enhance building safety and facilitate building maintenance, e.g. small-sized reinforced polyester water tanks, cat-ladders, curtain wall, cladding

Occupational Safety and Health Seminar on  “Situation Awareness” 

Date: 4th November 2019 
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Registration at 6:30 p.m.) 
Venue: Room 2505, 2/F, Li Dak Sum Yip Yio Chin Academic Building, City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR. 

Contents: 
During times of heightened tension, it is common for people to experience increased levels of stress and anxiety, both in their personal life, as well as in their professional capacity.  This  discomfort may exist whilst travelling to and from work, or even at their workplace. Individuals, groups or crowds who intend on causing disruption can be intimidating to passengers of public transport, to pedestrians, and to employees performing their roles. As a duty of care, it is important to provide employees with the necessary knowledge and skills, so they can protect themselves when the risk of their surrounding environment changes.  

When persons are looking to commit crime, cause disorder and disruption, their body language and behaviours change. This is due to an increase in stress-levels in relation to what they are about to undertake. Understanding these signs and then making the correct decision in how to protect yourself, your family, colleagues and passengers from confrontational situations, and reach a place of safety, will increase confidence during these times and reduce anxiety.  

This overview in situational awareness will provide the attendees with an insight into: 

 How to increase their observation levels; 
 How to recognise the baseline environment around their home, travel route or place of work; 
 How to identify some of the common indicators that persons display when acting with mal- intent;  
 What measures should you take if the situation escalates.

Speaker: 
Mr James Ellender  

James has been involved in the security and risk arena for the past two decades. He spent ten years working in law enforcement, as a specialist detective for covert, intelligence led and sensitive operations in the United Kingdom. Following this, James worked with governments and global organisations advising, consulting and delivering training on strategic and tactical practices to protect and enhance their organisational capabilities. 
  
With his deep operational exposure, coupled with his global corporate experience, he is deemed a subject matter expert in the risks and challenges facing today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.  
  
James’ passion lies in training and development, educating and transferring his knowledge. He helps clients explore the reasons why events happen, how to better protect their people, property and assets, and crucially, how to make the correct, rationalised decisions in times of crisis, critical or major incidents.

Venue : Room Z209, 2/F, Jockey Club Innovation Tower (Block V), Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hunghom 
Time : 19:00 – 21:00 hrs; Registration at 18:30 hrs 

Programme Highlights  

In addition to the effort made by the registered contractors, engineers, workers and regulatory body, owners or management companies also play a pivot role to achieve high quality and safety performance of lifts and escalators. In December 2012, “Lifts and Escalators Ordinance (Cap. 618)” was enacted to repeal the previous Lifts and Escalators (Safety) Ordinance (Cap. 327). One of the new statutory amendments is to stipulate the duties of “Responsible Person”, who has the management and control on lifts and escalators. To assist Responsible Person to fulfill the duties and understand more about the working principles, BSOMES has set up a voluntary taskforce to prepare a manual of “Best Management Practices on Operation & Maintenance for Lifts and Escalators”. In this seminar, the speakers will share the best management practices on operation and maintenance for lifts and escalators. At the beginning of seminar, a simple but grant ceremony to launch the Manual will be officiated by Guest of Honour, i.e. Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr. Alfred Sit, JP. 

Honourable Speaker 

Representatives from Lift Task Force of BSOMES (Ir Tony Lo / Ir Johnson Lau / Ir Sr Jonathan Lee) 

The Task Force consists of 19 members from operation and maintenance executives, including chartered engineers, qualified surveyors, technical heads or managers. All of them have solid experience in managing the operation and maintenance of lifts and escalators, covering the supervision on routine maintenance, contract management, modernization, testing & commissioning, etc. 

Fee 
Free of Charge. 1.5-hour CPD Certificate will be issued by the Organizers.  
(Remarks: Participants can enjoy 50% discount to purchase the newly launched Manual, i.e. HK$100 out of list price HK$200.) 

Media 
Cantonese with English terminology. 

Registration and enquiry 
For registration, please complete Registration Form in the following "Online Registration Link ”. The maximum number of participants is 270. Priority will be given to the members of the Organizers and Supporting Organizations. The deadline of application is 12 October 2019 (Saturday). Name of successful applicants will be informed by confirmation e-mail by no later than 17 October 2019 (Thursday),  hich shall be presented at the registry of the venue entrance for verification. If the applicants have not received the confirmation e-mail on or before 17 October 2019, their applications will be egarded as NOT successful.

According  to  EPD  record,  the  road  transport  is  the  second largest  air  pollution  source  in  Hong  Kong.  It  accounted  for about  57%  of  the  local  respirable  suspended  particulates, 62% of nitrogen oxides and 48% of sulphur dioxide in the past few years. The exhaust emissions of motor vehicles are the main  source  of  roadside  air  pollution.  To  help  improve roadside  air  quality  and  reduce  carbon  emissions,  the Government encourages the transport industry to replace the traditional  vehicles  with  electric  vehicles  which  have  no tailpipe  emission  that  will  help  improve  roadside  air  quality and  reduce  greenhouse  effect.  This  symposium  will  invite distinguish speakers to share information and experience in latest technology and environmental regulatory of ommercial electric vehicle.

Synopsis

We often hear the phrase “Data is the new Oil” in many recent discussions. The power to leverage the new oil to yield management insights to enable smart decision makings hinges on how we use the appropriate technologies. Yet, as seasoned senior executives and engineering managers we are well aware that the technologies alone are not enough to unleash the full potential and benefits of the Data.

The HKIE Environmental Division Annual Forum 2018 

“Developing Intelligent Resource Preservation Strategies for Hong Kong:  
Challenges for Innovation and Sustainability” 

Friday, 27 April 2018 
Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East,  
3 Tong Tak Street, Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong  
(3-minute walk from the Tseung Kwan O MTR Station, Exit C) 
 

INTRODUCTION 

 
Global adverse environmental burden and drastic depletion of resources induced by intensive 
consumption, heavy pollution and climate changes have led to the identification of waste as a valuable 
resource that requires responsible and sustainable solutions for managing and recovering. Accordingly, 
the holistic concepts of “zero waste”, “circular economy”, “cradle-to-cradle”, “closed loops” and 
‘’resource recovery’’ have emerged worldwide over the last decade as part of a cultural shift and a 
new way of thinking about the age-old problem of waste and the economic obsession with endless 
growth and consumption.   

In Hong Kong, the Government, in collaboration with key stakeholders, is actively promoting the 
development of waste reduction and recovery with various initiatives and major environmental 
programmes and infrastructure investments, in particular, the waste-to-energy programme, and public 
consultation on the transfer of advanced technologies for waste recycling and recovery strategic plans. 
Regulations, incentives and funding supports with continuous professional skills improvement schemes 
are also being establishing to stimulate the development of resource preservation in Hong Kong 
against resource-intensive economy.  

It is therefore timely for HKIE Environmental Division to promote the discussion on the intelligent 
resource preservation strategies in Hong Kong by bringing together various stakeholders. The main 
objective is to inspire, empower, and inform professional bodies, public and all stakeholders on 
emerging innovative waves in resource preservation intelligence, and to mobilize practical knowledge 
and know-how for dealing with cross-cutting and challenging issues.  

The forum comprises the keynote session and three other sessions: I) Legislation and Policy Reforms as 
Potential Drivers for Resource Preservation; II) Driving Green Alternatives for Sustainable Resource 
Management; and III) Embracing Emerging Sustainable Approaches for Managing Specific Resources.

Creativity on basing the reality – Building homes at Plover Cove 

Land supply has been an important issue to Hong Kong housing. To solve the problem, Frederick Lai has recommended to use the land of Plover Cove for housing. It has an area of about 1200 hectares. Based on a plot ratio of 2, it is estimated that the reclaimed land can provide 300,000 flats of 650 sq. ft., plus 65 million sq. ft. for non-domestic use. The total land value can be up to $775 billion, assuming average land price at $3,000 per sq. ft. This amount would be sufficient to build all the necessary rails, highways, cross-sea tunnel, as well as site formation works and infrastructure construction. Participants can understand the idea of using Plover Cove to solve shortage of the land supply for housing purpose in this seminar. 

Speaker 

Sr Frederick Lai Chiu-cheong CFM, MHKIS, RPS(QS), HKIQEP is the author of the Crude Model of the Proposed Plover Cove New Town Head of Facility Management Department of a major bank in Hong Kong. Frederick likes hiking and has completed the Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail several times. He started studying the possibility on making use of this huge piece of land for housing since November 2016. The idea was supported and endorsed by Professor Chau Kwong-wing of The University of Hong Kong in early 2017 and be named as an option of land supply during a press conference of HKU Ronald Coase Centre in July 2017 which has drawn massive media coverage.

IFMA's Sustainbility Workshop on Smart FM

Technical Seminar on New Development of Refrigerant & Refrigeration Safety Management  

Date : 5 December 2017 (Tuesday) 
Time : 2:30pm - 5:30pm (Registration will start at 2:15pm) 
Venue : BEC Auditorium, G/F Jockey Club Environmental Building, 77 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong 

Background 
The Montreal Protocol has scheduled the phasing out of controlled substances, including chemicals containing chlorine and bromine used as refrigerants, solvents, foam blowing agents, aerosol propellants, fire suppressants, and for other purposes. Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance (Cap. 403) 1989 gives effect to Hong Kong’s international obligations to control the manufacture, import and export of ozone depleting substances. Ozone Layer Protection (Controlled Refrigerants) Regulation 1994 requires the conservation of 
controlled refrigerants used in large scale installations and motor vehicles. Scheduled substances under the Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance are listed by the Environmental Protection Department. In addition to having suitable thermodynamic properties, the ideal refrigerant would be nontoxic, non-inflammable, completely stable, environmentally benign, readily available, self-lubricating, compatible with materials used in equipment, easy to handle and detect.  

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides information on suitable substitutes for ozone depleting substances, including refrigerants for various types of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, fire suppression, blowing agents, solvents, etc. U.S.EPA has developed and implemented regulations for management of ozone depletion substances (ODSs) in the United States. The regulations include programs that ended the production of ODSs and require the manufacturers to label products either containing or made with chemicals that have significant ODSs. Banning the usage of CFCs in refrigerants slows the ozone depletion and global climate change.  

In BEAM Plus Manual, the credits of MA P2 (Use of Non-CFC Based Refrigerants) and MA8 (Ozone Depleting Substances) cover the concerns on usage of refrigerants. The air-conditioning and refrigeration equipments shall fulfill the following equation which determines a maximum threshold for the combined contributions to ozone depletion and global warming potentials: LCGWP + LCODP x 105 ≤ 775. The Client shall submit a report by a suitably qualified person giving details of the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment installed; and demonstrating that the global warming potential and ozone depletion potential of the refrigerants used in equipment meets the specified requirement. Reference shall be made to refrigerant supplies and/or equipment manufacturer’s data together with guidance provided by recognised authorities such as ASHRAE, etc. In this seminar, the experts of refrigerants from ASHRAE will present the update on the relevant ASHRAE Standards as well as local development trends on new refrigerants. 

Session 1  
ASHRAE Standard 15 & 34 – A Review and Update 

ASHRAE’s key standards guiding refrigerant identification and usage have been revised to meet US governmental regulation and achieve improved performance. Standards 15 and 34 (2016 Edition) provide essential guidance to manufacturers, design engineers and operators who need to stay current with new air conditioning and refrigerating requirements. 

Standard 34 (Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants) describes a shorthand way of naming refrigerants and assigns safety classifications based on toxicity and flammability data, while Standard 15 (Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems) establishes procedures for operating equipment and systems when using those refrigerants. Standard 15 is one of ASHRAE’s oldest standards dating back to 1919.  The purpose of Standard 15 is to specify safe design, construction, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems.  All engineers that work with building mechanical systems should have a basic understanding of this Standard and for those engineers that work closely with refrigeration or chilling systems must have a deeper understanding of this standard and its requirements. This presentation will provide a review of Standard 15 and highlight recent changes to the standard.  Common misapplications of the standard will be presented and discussed. In this session, the speaker also highlights the review and update of ASHRAE Standard 34.

Session 2  
Next-gen Technology Development for Low-GWP Refrigerants 

The recent amendment to Montreal Protocol incorporating the control of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) has given a clear message to the industry in transitioning to next gen refrigerants of low global warming potential (GWP). ASHRAE is committed to a leadership role in responding to and reducing building Climate Change footprints. In support of this commitment, ASHRAE continuously advances the HVAC&R field by performing R&D guides and standards for designing systems that minimize energy use and reduce emissions of high GWP refrigerants. 

Many common refrigerants with high GWP such as R404A, R410A and R134a started to see their successors, of which some options are still non-flammable but many become flammable. The HVAC&R industry has been actively developing next-gen technology around these new refrigerant options. This presentation will review the refrigerant applications in consideration of environmental, safety and energy performance.

Topics of the Technical Seminar 

Session 1  
Integrating Indoor Air Quality and Energy Efficiency in Buildings  
[GBCI Approved | 1 CE Hour | 0920014269 /  AIA Approved | 1LU/HSW | Bahnfleth02] 

Buildings are one of the largest energy end use sectors in countries around the globe. Concerns for the availability of energy supplies and the impact of energy use on the environment are driving a worldwide focus on energy end use reduction. In this push for dramatic changes in the energy use intensity of the building sector, it is essential that the fundamental importance of indoor environmental quality, particularly indoor air quality, not be lost. This presentation addresses: 1) the significance of indoor air quality in terms of its impact on health and productivity and associated costs; 2) the inseparable linkage between indoor air quality and building energy demands, including examples of efficient technologies for maintaining good indoor air quality; and 3) the need for an approach to building research, design, and operation that recognizes this connection. 

Session 2 
HVAC and Airborne Infectious Diseases  
[GBCI Approved | 1 CE Hour | 0920005385 /  AIA Approved | 1LU/HSW | Bahnfleth06] 

Concern regarding the risk of hospital acquired infections and the effect of the built environment on epidemics of drug-resistant diseases is increasing. The well-educated designer and owner needs to understand the mechanisms by which infectious disease is transmitted indoors, the extent to which HVAC system characteristics affect probability of infection, available means for controlling risk with demonstrated effectiveness. These topics are presented and discussed using the ASHRAE Board of Directors-approved Position Document Airborne Infectious Diseases as a framework. Pertinent scientific knowledge about modes of disease transmission is reviewed, its practical implications for control are discussed, and the three HVAC-related control methods identified by the Position Document: ventilation, particulate filtration, and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, are presented and compared. General recommendations for reducing risk are provided and knowledge gaps that need to be filled are identified.

IFMA's Industrial Spotlight: Creating Healthy Spaces: Rising up the Corporate Agenda 

Creating Healthy Spaces: Rising up the Corporate Agenda
CBRE, in partnership with Herman Miller and the International Well Building Institute (IWBI), will host an event around the rising importance of wellness in the workplace. The event will be a good opportunity to share knowledge and learn from the creator of the WELL system as well as practitioners that are driving the standard.
Occupiers have an opportunity to improve the health of their people by improving the way buildings are designed and operated. Through initiatives such as the WELL Building Standard, value can be added to real estate assets, human health can be enhanced, general building operations can be improved, and the productivity agenda can be enhanced. The WELL Building Standard is the first market driven initiative which focuses exclusively on the health and wellness of people in buildings. WELL closes the gap between performance and compliance by evaluating and measuring the conditions in a building that impact human health.
