EMSD Annual Report 2023

Our Regional Digital Control Centres monitored the E&M data and energy performance of client facilities in real time, in order to enhance the operational and energy efficiency of E&M assets of clients.

During the year, we upgraded the Building Information Modelling model to version 3.0 for the Nam Cheong Family Medicine Clinic under the Hospital Authority, with the aim of improving maintenance efficiency and service quality.

The Chiller Plant Replacement project at Tai Lung Veterinary Laboratory involved the adoption of multiple advanced technologies, such as prefabricating E&M components with the application of Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing technology, marking a milestone in the industry development. Pictured is the aerial view of the venue after completion of the project.

Consisting of an improved cleaning robot and a sanitation monitoring platform, the second generation Internet of Things-enabled Smart Toilet Bowl Cleaning System features autonomous cleaning, real-time data analysis and artificial intelligence cleanliness assessment functions to ensure the cleanliness and tidiness of public facilities.

The EMSD staff used the Smart Overhead Rail Servicing Robot for track cleaning and inspection at the Butterfly Beach Laundry in Tuen Mun.

To assist the Correctional Services Department in enhancing the operational efficiency of correctional institutions and facilitating the rehabilitation of persons in custody, we have installed the Integrated Intelligent Communication System, which is equipped with self-service telephone kiosks, display screens, voice recognition technology and keyword analysis function, at the institutions.

The EMSD leverages innovation and technology solutions to enhance safety at construction sites. Such solutions included the implementation of the Smart Site Safety System at the Tung Chung New Town Extension-Reclamation and Advance Works site, where Government-Wide Internet of Things (IoT) Network gateway and IoT sensors were used to remotely monitor the locations and hand-brake operation of dump trucks, providing a safer working environment for workers.

The EMSD installed a Smart Switchboard for the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, allowing its staff to conduct real-time analysis of the operational data of electrical installations and perform remote monitoring via an IoT platform.

The Awards Ceremony of the Global AI Challenge for Building E&M Facilities was held in September 2022 to honour participating teams who staged excellent performance in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competition. This grand event gathered together local and international experts.
