Social and Environmental Report
Embracing the vision of Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong 2.0 and Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050, the EMSD actively supports the Government’s policy of developing Hong Kong into a smart city. We have incorporated innovative and smart technology in our services to demonstrate the successful implementation of technology to the industry.
5G@EMSD
First phase of 5G application was completed at the EMSD Headquarters Building in June 2021. More 5G features will be applied to optimise our services.
Smart Car Park System Pilot Scheme
A real-time vacant parking space monitoring system was installed at the EMSD Headquarters Building to analyse the utilisation of parking spaces and to share the experience and results with other government departments.
Hong Kong’s First Smart Prison
The EMSD conducted proof-of-concept trials for dozens of innovation and technology (I&T) solutions with the Correctional Services Department, and commissioned Hong Kong’s first Smart Prison in May 2021.
Integrated Smart Warehouse
The EMSD leveraged I&T solutions to construct a smart warehouse with an automated stock handling process which won the first runner-up award in the “Leading Towards Robotics Technologies” Innovation Competition.
The integrated Building Management System (iBMS)
A non-proprietary standard communication protocol BACnet was adopted into the existing systems to conduct big data analysis more reliably and efficiently, as well as improving the structure of building data.
Smart Toilet System
The EMSD, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department launched a smart toilet pilot programme based on the Internet of Things technology. Sensors were deployed in public toilets to collect data for analysis to improve toilet management efficiency and service quality.
