Green Facilities
Classrooms at All Floors
- Motion Sensors: If they detect no one inside the rooms, the air conditioners and lights will be turned off automatically
- Carbon Dioxide Sensors: The fresh air exchange and pre-coolers will be turned on only when the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds the standard
- T5 fluorescent tubes: help conserve energy
- Auto-dimmers: If sunlight is strong, the lights by the windows will be dimmed automatically
- Solar PV Panels outside windows: Turn sunlight into electrical energy and minimize heat radiation from getting into the rooms, hence lowering energy used for cooling
Special Room Block
- Double glazed windows: reduce noise and minimize heat radiation
- Solar PV Panels outside windows on 6/F: Turn sunlight into electrical energy and minimize heat radiation from getting into the rooms, hence lowering energy used for cooling
- Shading device: Reduce light from getting into the rooms, hence lowering energy used for cooling
Roof
- Solar tracking Photovoltic (PV) panels
- PV panels fixed at 22 degrees to the horizon: to enhance efficiency
- PV panels over outdoor cooling units: convert solar energy to electrical energy and at the same time cover the cooling units to enhance efficiency of cooling
- PV panels with water tubes: convert solar energy to electrical energy and at the same time heat up water for bathing
- Water chiller plants: high efficiency cooling
- Vertical wind turbine: converts wind energy to electrical energy. Optimized for urban environment
- Sun tubes: lead sunlight to the Physics Laboratory by fibre-glass
- Roof top garden: lowers temperature and removes carbon dioxide
- Solar powered water sprinklers
- Automatic weather station: beams real time weather data to classrooms to control use of air conditioning
