EMSD
to Move into New Headquarters in Kowloon Bay
EMSD
will move into its new headquarters in Kowloon Bay
early next year. The site will be the former HACTL
Building in the Kai Tak Airport. The new
headquarters building will have seven storeys, with
an area of nearly 10,000 sq m per storey. The
building will feature modernised and environmentally
friendly concepts. The office will adopt an open and
spacious design, making full use of natural light.
Works on the new headquarters are progressing well.
The redundant structures of the former HACTL
Building has been taken down and fitting-out work is
already in progress. |

Keeping Hospitals Healthy
While
hospitals aim to restore patients to health, they
themselves must be kept healthy. This is the role of
our Health Sector Division (HSD), which started to
deliver new day-to-day building maintenance and
electrical maintenance works to some hospitals
administered by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority,
starting from 1 February 2004. On the top of
existing E&M engineering services, the new building
maintenance service paves the way for HSD to provide
one-stop-shop facility management to our clients and
to further foster our partnership with HA.

Municipal Sector Division spreads green messages to
LCSD and FEHD
On
the request of EMSTF's two major customer
departments - the Leisure and Cultural Services
Department (LCSD) and the Food and Environmental
Hygiene Department (FEHD) - our Municipal Sector
Division held a total of nine talks on energy
conservation in October 2003 and March 2004. The
main targets were the green managers, venue managers
and unit heads.
As the participants came from
different departments with different backgrounds,
the talks were tailor made for the individual needs
of each group. They covered LCSD's sports venues,
museums, libraries, swimming pools and performance
venues, as well as FEHD's markets and various
offices.

Creating an energy efficient school
EMSTF has turned Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government
Secondary School into an energy efficient school.
The measures introduced by our GESD
to reduce energy consumption included:
-
De-lamping the less essential
lights
-
Grouping computer servers in a main
server room to reduce the need to air-condition
different areas
-
Modifying the lift so that its
lights and fan are automatically switched
off during standby
-
Adjusting air-conditioner settings
in classrooms to the optimum level
-
Adding a master key switch control
to prevent unauthorised use of air conditioners in
classrooms.
The payback period will be around
four years. To monitor the actual savings, meters
have been installed on some classroom floors. If
results prove encouraging, EMSTF will propose
extending these measures to other schools.
