The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) due to power generation, transportation and other industrial / commercial activities are contributing to climate change and environmental impacts worldwide. Each corporation should immediately implement carbon-reducing measures to mitigate the problems. The first important step is to carry out a carbon audit to identify the sources of carbon emissions and quantify the carbon footprint of a corporation. As energy consumption is one of the major sources of carbon emissions, it is always effective to reduce carbon footprint through implementing energy saving measures.As an active professional institution and one of the green partners in Hong Kong, the Energy Institute is active in providing timely and quality certified carbon auditor courses to train engineers and other professionals to understand the audit process and to acquire the necessary skills to conduct professional carbon audits.

INTRODUCTION CIBSE Hong Kong Region is pleased to organize a technical site visit to O·PARK1 (Organic Resources Recovery Centre Phase 1). This visit offers a unique opportunity for engineering professionals to explore Hong Kong’s pioneering waste-to-energy facility, which plays a critical role in the city’s sustainable waste management strategy.ABOUT O·PARK1 Located in Siu Ho Wan, North Lantau, O·PARK1 is the first facility of its kind in Hong Kong. It utilizes advanced anaerobic digestion technology to convert source-separated organic waste (primarily food waste) into biogas for electricity generation. The residues are further treated to produce high-quality compost for landscaping and agricultural use.

This visit to NTT Com Asia – TKO Data Center offers participants an opportunity to gain insights into one of Hong Kong’s leading digital infrastructure providers. As part of the global NTT Group, NTT Com Asia delivers data center, network, cloud and intelligent AI solutions, supporting enterprises in their digital transformation journey.During the visit, participants will attend a company overview presentation, receive a safety briefing, and join a guided tour of the data center facility to better understand its operations, technologies, and industry applications.

As temperatures rise and decarbonisation becomes a global priority, efficient cooling solutions are increasingly important. This presentation introduces passive mid-infrared radiative cooling, an electricity-free technology that dissipates heat through the atmospheric window (8–13 μm), achieving sub-ambient cooling without energy consumption.Attendees will learn the science behind the technology, inspired by the Saharan silver ant and breakthrough research published in Science. The session will explain how i2Cool's proprietary coatings and films achieve up to 95% solar reflectivity and 95% mid-infrared emissivity, reducing surface temperatures by up to 42°C.Real-world case studies, including the Dubai Mall project in the UAE and a 10,000 m² factory rooftop installation for Crystal International Group in China, will demonstrate practical applications, energy-saving performance, and verification methodologies. The presentation will also highlight opportunities for deploying passive cooling solutions to support energy efficiency and decarbonisation goals across the built environment.Beyond architecture, the presentation will explore the broad cross-industry impact of the technology, spanning power and telecommunications infrastructure, logistics and cold chain, photovoltaic systems, and industrial storage. Attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of how passive radiative cooling can be integrated into diverse sectors to reduce operational costs, extend equipment lifespan, and contribute meaningfully to decarbonisation goals.
