Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance

Notes and Disclaimer :

1. Pursuant to the section 23 of the Ordinance, the building owner is required to exhibit a copy of the valid Energy Audit Form in a conspicuous position at the main entrance of the building. If it is found that a valid Energy Audit Form is not exhibited in accordance with the Ordinance, you may notify this office to follow up.
2. An energy audit involves the systematic review of the energy consuming equipment/systems in a building by a registered energy assessor employed by the owner of a building to identify energy management opportunities (EMO), which provides useful information for the building owner to decide on and implement the energy saving measures for environmental consideration and economic benefits. If the building data has not yet been found in this list one month after the submission of the copy of the relevant Energy Audit Form to this office, the relevant person may make enquiries to this office whether his/ her submission has been received.
3. Energy Utilization Index (EUI), in relation to the total energy consumption of the central building services installations in a building, means dividing total energy consumption for a specific period by the total internal floor area of the building.
4. The EUI may provide a reference of the energy performance of the central building services installations of a building. As the commercial buildings in Hong Kong may comprise offices, arcades and car parks with different percentage of areas and the operational hours for the office, arcade and carpark also may vary, the corresponding energy consumption may deviate with different buildings. Hence, a higher EUI does not necessarily mean that the building concerned is not energy efficient and vice versa, it is not appropriate to directly compare the EUI for different buildings.
5. The energy audit information is provided for the sole purpose pursuant to section 23 of the Ordinance. The information may be subject to change from time to time upon further update and clarification received from the owner of the buildings without further notification. Unauthorized use, transmission, disclosure, copying or alteration of the provided information is strictly forbidden. The Government accepts no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from or related to the use of such information.
