Programme Highlight
Zero Carbon Building
ZCB is a pioneering and inspiring project. It will not only serve as
a platform for the construction industry to share knowledge and expertise in
low/zero carbon building design and technologies, but also help to raise
community awareness of low carbon living.
The ZCB in Hong Kong generates on-site renewable energy from
photovoltaic panels and a tri-generation system using biofuel made of waste
cooking oil and achieves zero net carbon emissions on an annual basis. Beyond
the common definition of a ‘zero carbon building’, ZCB exports surplus energy
to offset embodied carbon of its construction process and major structural
materials.
The new thematic visit aims
to showcase the latest technology and
provide innovative visitor touch-points including games with Virtual Reality (VR)
and Augmented Reality (AR) experience in the newly built Experience Center. The
Experience Centre is divided into 4 thematic zones, namely “Climate Change”
& I, “Smart Living”, “Smart City & Construction” and “Smart Technology
& 
Health”. Our participants are expected to realize how we respond to
climate change by smart technology such as how it could:
1. help commercial development going into the future;
2. improve the quality of life;
3. raise standard of
well-being, etc.
Our participants would be inspired and create a Smart Hong Kong
together. They could learn more about “Smart City” technology, try the
interactive displays first-hand, and be up-to-dated on future technology.

Report Technical visit to Zero Carbon Building By Ms. Mandy Lai
Organized
by the Gas & Energy Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers
(HKIE), the captioned visit was successfully held on 30 September 2017 in
Kowloon Bay. A total of 29 participants participated in the event.
Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) is a pioneering and inspiring project, completed in
2012. This first ZCB not only serves as a platform for the construction
industry to share knowledge and expertise in low/zero carbon building design
and technologies, but also helps to raise community awareness of low carbon
living.
The ZCB
in Hong Kong generates on-site renewable energy from photovoltaic panels and a

The new
Experience Centre, named “Climate Change and My Smart City” has been launched
in early June 2017. The new thematic visit aims to showcase the latest
technology and provide innovative visitor touch-points including games with
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) experience in the newly built
Experience Center. The Experience Centre is divided into 4 thematic zones,
namely “Climate Change” & I, “Smart Living”, “Smart City & Construction”
and “Smart Technology & Health”. The participants further acquired the
concept of zero carbon building through the guided tour, and realized how we
respond to climate change by smart technology such as how it could help
commercial development going into the future; improve the quality of life and raise
standard of well being.
Our
participants were inspired by the concerted effort to create a smart Hong Kong
together. We would like to thank Construction Industry
Council (CIC) for its support in making this visit a success.
