Asia Society Hong Kong Center Presents Panel Discussion

(Hong Kong, May 30, 2014) Creating resilient and sustainable cities is a widely investigated topic around the globe as natural disasters including weather, health and seismic events have caused US$1.7 trillion in damages worldwide between 2000 and 2012.

Integrating vertical farm into low-carbon high-rise building in high

The area inside the building line was approximately 24,000 square meters. According to Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines (HKPSG), the Kwun Tong Center area belongs to the existing development area of Kowloon in Zone 1, and the maximum domestic plot ratio is 7.5. In order to form a sustainable system that can maximize energy

Grid parity analysis of photovoltaic systems considering feed-in

The Hong Kong government has actively promoted the development of renewable energy with two local utility companies to achieve its renewable energy target. Accordingly, two crucial initiatives, the feed-in tariff (FiT) and renewable energy certificate (REC) schemes, have been launched to boost the installation of renewable energy systems,

HKU Scholars Hub: Constructing sustainable power grids :

While many issues have to be resolved to attain power grid sustainability, this thesis focuses on three critical topics, i.e. integration of renewable energy sources (RESs), emission control, and power grid resilience, so as to develop environment-friendly and resilient operation strategies.
