“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.

Technical Seminar on New Development of Refrigerant & Refrigeration Safety Management
Event Date:5/12/2017
Location: BEC Auditorium, G/F Jockey Club Environmental Building, 77 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong

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.
