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. Moreover, EMSD will also brief the progress of legislation on vehicle repair mechanic and workshop.

IET 2019 Symposium - Strategic Management in the Age of Digital Disruption
24th May, 2019 (FRIDAY) 09:00 – 17:00
Address: Cordis, Hong Kong at Langham Place, 555 Shanghai Street, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
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. There must be accompanying changes in management processes and company culture. On the other hand, the leaders must make the right investments and set the overarching strategy clear in order to make the organisation thrive in this digital era.
The objective of the symposium is to provide a platform for audiences to learn about the latest developments and applications of the disruption technology surrounding our daily life from our seasoned peakers as well as for policy makers from both government and the legislature; industry leaders, technology providers, and senior members of the engineering profession to share their respective perspectives and efforts made in formulating their resource investment and business development strategies in anticipation of the digital disruptions.

ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer Series Technical Seminar on Critical Commissioning for Effective Central Plant Operation Strategies
Date : 18 February 2019 (Monday)
Time : 2:15pm – 5:15pm (Registration will start at 1:45pm)
Venue : Room 202E, G/F Jockey Club Environmental Building, 77 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong
Background:
Commissioning for both new constructions and existing buildings play important roles for system optimization with a goal of energy savings and effective plant operation especially for those critical facilities. This technical seminar focuses on the explanation of the fundamentals of new construction (Cx) and existing building commissioning (EBCx defined by ASHRAE Guidelines. In addition, the speaker will also share his experience on actual critical commissioning for energy saving achievement.
Topic 1:
Critical Facilities New Construction Commissioning and Existing Building Commissioning
This presentation will explore the fundamentals of new construction (Cx) and existing building commissioning (EBCx for critical facilities. The initial topic covered will be the introduction to commissioning as defined by ASHRAE Guidelines and Standards. This will be followed by a review of the challenges with bidding Cx and EBCx projects and real world guidance on how to bid and select commissioning firms for projects. The process for Cx will be broken down into a step by step flow with details and examples provided at each step. Case studies will be presented for Cx projects with best practices, lessons learned and some specific benefits produced by following the ASHRAE Commissioning Process. The process for EBCx will also be detailed and new case studies presented to demonstrate
the need for maintaining a buildings edge over time with ASHRAEs suite of Commissioning Guidelines and Standards.
Topic 2:
Primary Heating/Cooling Plant Strategies & How to Maximize the Energy & Financial Savings (GBCI Approved | 2 CE Hour | 0920010405; AIA Approved | 2 LU/HSW | JVALLORT02)
This workshop focuses on strategies to improve efficiency of central heating and cooling plants applicable to single building as well as multiple buildings in a campus setting. You will learn about various configurations of equipment arrangement, operating parameters, piping distribution systems, primary utilities and environmental regulations associated with primary heating and cooling plants.
The workshop further discusses low temperature chilled water systems application that can operate with high overall efficiently, use smaller distribution piping network, and save the end users significant fit out costs when compared to traditional temperature systems.
Also included in this workshop is critical commissioning (Cx) activity that focus on ensuring the proper operation is achieved either at time of turn over or through the life of the system. By focusing on large elements of your building like the central plant, the benefits of Cx can be huge! The big energy consumption for your building is from the central plant. The cost and level of effort for Cx is focused on the number of system pieces and number of sequences, therefore the best place to start is in the central plant; best bang for your buck. Cx can ensure that the central plant is capitalizing on all available economizer options, reset schedules and load following optimization.
Studies have shown that a new building without Cx may consume 20% more energy than designed and that an average existing building can save 30% after three years of operation. So quit throwing those operating dollars out through your central plant and bring them back into your budget.

“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.

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.
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.

Technical Visit on CLP Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station
5 August 2017
Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station is the first nuclear power station commercial scale built in the Chinese Mainland. Daya Bay makes use of French reactor technology and British turbine-generator equipment, providing an installed capacity of 1,968 MW. Since the beginning of commercial operation in 1994, it has been generating typically over 14 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. 70% of the electricity is supplied to Hong Kong and the balance to Guangdong province. The electricity produced by Daya Bay saves Hong Kong each year some 7.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, some ten thousands tonnes of sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, as well as hundreds of tonnes of airborne particulates that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere by fossil fuel generation.
This visit will provide an opportunity to members to understand the nuclear power generation and safe operation of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.
