The two measures together have reduced annual energy consumption by more than 9%. New tenants are encouraged to use existing fit-out and reusable hoardings to reduce construction waste.

Over 7,000 plastic bottles were collected for recycling in three months.

Last year, various energy- saving and waste-reduction campaigns were held jointly with community groups to spread the green living message among residents. The estate has a green audit scheme, which offers one-stop audit services for food waste, energy and carbon to residents free of charge. Participants can learn about their unit’s environmental performance in specific areas and receive professional recommendations. About 40% of the public area in the green estate is set as green zones, which are full of shrubs, trees and other plants. YOHO Midtown also promotes specially designed three-in-one home garbage containers, which help residents separate domestic waste at source and develop a habit of doing so.
