Conference on Sustainable Building Materials Deploying Advanced & Nano Technologies

Conference on Sustainable Building Materials Deploying Advanced & Nano Technologies

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.

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

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.

“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.

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.
