The exhibition gallery is intended to promote awareness of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and to introduce the work of EMSD through the use of interactive exhibits. The exhibition gallery on G/F contains 17 nos. of exhibits to introduce the energy efficiency and renewable energy features, and the initiatives of EMSD on sustainable development. The exhibition area on 7/F contains 4 nos. of exhibits to introduce the work of EMSD in electrical, amusement ride, gas and lifts & escalators safety. The viewing gallery on roof displays the photovoltaic panels and wind turbine. The brief description of the exhibits are as follows:
A sense of fun is created around the issue of energy saving through this group interactive game in which players have to stamp out wasteful energy practices in a household.
Visitors can compare the energy input required for fluorescent lamps, T5 fluorescent lamps, LED lamps and induction lamps. The visitors can feel the amount of energy required to light up different types of lighting by turning the wheel of this exhibit.
This exhibit helps consumers get better acquainted with the various types of energy efficiency labels.
This exhibit brings out the messages that money can be saved if energy efficient electrical appliances are purchased.
With the aid of a 3-dimensional model, this exhibit introduces various energy saving appliances and installations such as compact fluorescent lamp, high efficient refrigerator, energy efficient washing machine, solar water heating, etc.
This exhibit comprises a 3-dimensional building model with screen text to explain the functions and benefits of an integrated building management system.
This exhibit is a virtual office with 20 energy saving features and installations including occupancy sensors, heat recovery systems, etc. The basic operating principle of each feature is explained by screen text and animation.
This exhibit comprises a Q&A game which has been compiled using energy end use data developed by EMSD. This set of energy end use data is an important tool for policy makers when it comes to setting up energy saving targets and schemes.
This exhibit comprises a Q&A game which has been compiled using data from energy consumption indicators developed by EMSD.
This touch screen exhibit introduces the principles and advantages of a water-cooled air conditioning system.
This exhibit comprises the model of a small town with a hydrogen production plant and a pipeline distribution system. The hydrogen production plant is powered by wind turbines, hydroelectricity and solar energy. The exhibit also explains the production, delivery, and storage of hydrogen and its application as clean energy.
This exhibit displays various types of photovoltaic panels. Visitors can turn the handles of a polycrystalline, a monocrystalline and an amphorous photovoltaic panel to compare their efficiencies.
This exhibit comprises a model hybrid car and a fuel cell model and explains their working principles step by step through screen text and animation.
This exhibit uses graphical explanations to show how slurry ice is made and its role in cooling buildings efficiently.
The basic features of a district cooling system are displayed in a 3-dimensional model. Benefits of distributing chilled water to buildings through underground pipes from a centralized cooling plant are further explained through screen text.
In this exhibit, the generation of electricity by a small wind turbine is simulated by using a fan to blow the rotor of the wind turbine.
Visitors can learn about what EMSD do to enhance the safety and the quality of life of our community by ensuring that E&M and energy technologies are harnessed in a safe and reliable manner. There are four interactive exhibits to introduce concepts on electrical, amusement ride, gas and lifts and escalators safety.
The solar photovoltaic system installed on the roof of this building is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, consist over 2,300 photovoltaic panels.
The wind turbine installed on the roof of this building is 1kW in rating.
