Hong Kong Government’s 1st Model Project This project was originally a government school with a set of standard amenities, an allocated site, a basic budget, and a minimal project time. It was subsequently upgraded to be the government’s 1st Model Project to showcase the widest range of environmental features available in Hong Kong. All these were designed with automatic energy measurement and recording devices; and those energy efficient systems proven successful in this model project would become the standard requirements in future government buildings. The project had to achieve all the above objectives with a 10% extra budget, without extra time, without extra site area and without extra covered floor area. It was a real challenge. |
