ESG in Action & People-Oriented Services
We have expanded the network coverage of Government-Wide Internet of Things Network for the Fire Services Department and installed low-power and long-range sensors at various fire stations to measure electricity consumption, collect data and identify energy-saving opportunities, thus promoting energy efficiency and smart city development.
Aiming to enhance energy efficiency through data analysis, the EMSD is currently arranging installation of artificial intelligence optimisation system for the chiller at the Treasury Building. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to adopt greener fire suppressants throughout the facility.
We replaced the lighting at the Chai Wan Police Station with energy-efficient light emitting diode lights.
Low global warming potential refrigerants are used for the chiller equipment at the Tuen Mun Hospital. The new refrigerants significantly reduce the impact on global warming when compared to the traditional refrigerants.
To promote the use of renewable energy, a photovoltaic system was installed at the covered walkway of the eastern portal area of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel in Hung Hom for the Highways Department, providing electricity for the escalators connected to the footbridge.
In line with the concept of sustainable development of the Kai Tak Development Area, the EMSD has incorporated elements of sustainable development in the Kowloon East Regional Headquarters and Operational Base cum Ngau Tau Kok Divisional Police Station, including the adoption of a district cooling system and application of renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic panels and a solar water heating system.
We introduced the Regenerative Media Filter System at the Lai Chi Kok Park Swimming Pool managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department to enhance the filtration capacity of the swimming pool and optimise the quality of pool water. The system not only takes up less space, but also reduces water and electricity consumption.
The EMSD introduced a new radio communication solution for the Fire Services Department to enable firefighters to handle complex and ever-changing situations at fire scenes effectively. The new system is equipped with wireless portable repeaters, which can be flexibly deployed at the scene and enhance the coverage and quality of communication.
The EMSD will carry out regular maintenance of the sophisticated electrical and mechanical facilities, including the air-conditioning system, water pumps and joss paper burners, etc., in the newly completed Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium. Among these facilities, the joss paper burner makes use of water scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators to effectively filter out particulates.
Twelve escalators, which connect San Ha Street with the Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium, were open for public use during the Chung Yeung Festival in 2023 to facilitate public access for paying respects to ancestors. Our professional team was on duty on the day of the festival to provide on-site support.
Having participated in the Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit for seven consecutive years, the EMSD showcased various gerontech and innovative solutions at its exhibition booth, such as the Mixed Reality Glasses for Cognitive Evaluation and Training, in 2023.
