Centennial Campus, The University of Hong Kong

The Centennial Campus is offering university students and staff a dramatically enhanced environment to help fulfill the University's ambition to be among the very best in the world.

Buildings and open spaces are strategically sited and oriented to capture the natural light, breeze and storm water and to reduce the use of energy, as part of an overall environmentally sound design. Renewable energy devices will also be installed. The choice of building materials takes account of durability and long-term maintenance issues.

The following features have been adopted in Centennial Campus:

  1. Grey water recycling system
  2. Wind turbine
  3. PV panel
  4. Environmental display monitoring system
  5. Chilled water storage system
  6. Displacement AC design
  7. Lift Regenerative Power
  8. Food digester
  9. Night Air Purging
  10. Rainwater recycling system
  11. Efficient A/C (Rotary heat wheel, Heat pump, low noise/ energy chiller, etc.)
  12. Use of Environmental Material (No VOC, FSC wood, etc.)
  13. Low energy LED lighting
  14. Energy Efficient Façade
  15. Dual flush sensors for all WC
     

The Centennial Campus has achieved LEED certification in platinum rating under new construction and major renovation category in January 2013.

Hysan Place

Hysan Place is a 40-storey, Grade A commercial development located in the heart of Hong Kong’s prime shopping mecca, Causeway Bay. Developed by Hysan, the area’s largest commercial landlord, the project is configured with commercial office space above 17 floors of retail. Its massing consists of a series of shifting forms, each tailored to its specific function. These provide rooftop oases for users and openings for prevailing breezes to pass through the building. The first LEED-CS platinum mixed-use office and vertical mall complex in Greater China, Hysan Place enhances occupiers’ health and productivity by introducing more natural day light, providing individual occupant control of natural ventilation, and public access to 4th floor sky garden. Progressive in terms of its sustainable specifications, Hysan Place’s planning flexibility will ensure it stays competitive and commercially successful for years to come.
