 Energy and Resource Savings

According to our statistics, consumption of water and paper has been reduced by 10.6% and 4.5% respectively from the year 2000 levels.

Despite increases in gas and electricity consumption due to additional business activities and a new depot being put into operation, consumption per capita values in both our Caroline Hill Headquarters and Kowloon Workshop have been exhibiting downward trend since 1999.

Some resource consumption levels remain less satisfactory; however, it should be mentioned that since EMSD is an engineering service provider, the facilities or equipment we service may vary with time and beyond our reasonable jurisdiction. Thus, some figures depicted may not correlate directly with our performance. When studying these figures, it should be noted that, in fact, they reflect the consumption of a particular resource or waste product collected and recycled in our operation.

 Demand Side Management (DSM)

As part of the its policy to promote efficient use and conservation of energy through DSM, the SAR Government signed agreements with power companies in May 2000 for the implementation of DSM programmes by the companies. During the programme implementation period, EMSD monitors the performance of these programmes, and coordinates the power companies' efforts.
