SHKP Quarterly

The project’s act of introducing intelligent management system, effectively monitors and controls the optimal operation and energy consumption of the various types of equipment, and has resulted in savings of over 17 million kWh of electricity since 2012 through a combination of the energy saving measures, such as • introducing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and a smart lighting control system to improve energy efficiency; • refurbishing the central air conditioners to extend the service life and enhance their performance; • adopting a smart indoor air quality monitoring system. Sun Hung Kai Centre , the Group’s headquarters, despite being completed over 40 years ago, was awarded the LEED Platinum certificate, which is a rare achievement. Over a decade ago, Sun Hung Kai Centre underwent electrical and mechanical (E&M) renovations, incorporated sustainability in planning, design, procurement and management, including the re-inspection of the E&M facility system, and optimized the chiller systems to enhance efficiency, and reduce energy use and costs. Sun Hung Kai Centre also introduced multiple measures, including a smart building management system, an energy monitoring system, upgraded ventilation and air-conditioning systems, and the installation of a variable air volume system, to ensure excellent operation and maintenance practices, thus continuing to contribute to environmental protection. Since 2004, a remarkable 60 million kWh of electricity and 42,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide have been saved, which is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by about 1.8 million trees a year. One IFC, Two IFC and IFC Mall are located in the heart of Central's waterfront commercial area. Their project teams have striven to upgrade the buildings’ green management to meet the high environmental standards demanded by international corporations, achieving LEED Platinum certification under the v4.1 Operations and Maintenance: Existing Buildings rating system. Two IFC became the first commercial building in Hong Kong to receive this certification. The Group’s major commercial projects on the mainland have also achieved the high standard set for international green buildings. In 2020, Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC both achieved the Platinum rating in the LEED V4.0 for Building Operations and Maintenance: Existing Buildings for their outstanding performance in energy-optimization, resources and water management, as well as expanding the use of green transportation. The former was the commercial project to receive the world's highest score that year. Integration of sustainable building elements The Group's long-term environmental targets include achieving LEED Gold or Platinum certifications for its core commercial projects under development, including the High Speed Rail West Kowloon Terminus Development in Hong Kong and the 370-metre skyscraper of the ITC remaining phase in Shanghai. In order to comply with the most stringent international green standards, the Group strives to incorporate sustainable elements into the entire life cycle of its property developments, from design and materials procurement to construction and property management. In KCC, for example, the first office development to earn the LEED Gold certification in Hong Kong, multiple green design elements were adopted in its original construction, including the use of large glass curtains to effectively utilize natural light. In addition, various green landscaped areas and sky gardens were included in the development, together with the installation of indoor carbon dioxide sensors to enhance indoor air quality and provide a healthy work and leisure environment for tenants. Continuous efforts in green management In order to incorporate its green principles into the daily operations of its projects, the Group set a number of environmental targets, and aims to achieve three 10 - year key commitments by the end of fiscal year 2030, including a 13% reduction in electricity consumption, a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 5% reduction in water use in about 60 of the Group’s investment properties; additionally, an annual construction waste diversion rate of 70% or more for projects under construction in Hong Kong. The Group's property management and construction companies have all received ISO 9001 quality management system certification. Kai Shing and Hong Yip, two of the Group’s property management companies, have proactively introduced smart management to enhance the energy efficiency of their projects under management. Kai Shing became the first company in Hong Kong to obtain internationally recognized ISO 41001 facility management system certification, and Hong Yip was the first property management company in Hong Kong’s property and facilities management sector to obtain ISO 27001 certification for its information security management system.
