Programme Highlight:
The First Zero-Carbon Chiller System Project in Hong Kong at Nina Tower set a new benchmark for chiller plant replacement project on energy efficiency and carbon neutrality to counter climate change and growing demand on energy efficiency. This project replaces 7 nos. of traditional air-cooled chillers, into an advanced water-cooled system adopting HFO refrigerant with 6 nos. of water-cooled chillers.
This transformation results in over 50% reduction in electricity consumption and reduces approximately 7,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, aligning with global decarbonization goals and the anticipated climate risk. Multiple advanced technologies have been adopted in this project, including Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MiMEP) for streamlining project execution, Vertical District Cooling System for enhancing system’s reliability, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for enhancing project coordination and lifecycle management, and Digital Twins for facilitating real-time monitoring and optimization ability via Artificial Intelligence, significantly enhancing energy saving and system resilience against climate impacts. The project also underscores the importance of Green Electricity Certificates sourced from renewable energy, ensuring the entire cooling system operates on zero-carbon principles. This initiative aligned with Climate Action Plan 2050, targeting substantial reductions in operational carbon intensity by 2030.
This technical seminar will briefly introduce the innovative design, construction approach and strategies on operation under this flagship project.
