Visit to Zero Carbon Building on 2 October 2016

Students taking the Gateway Education course, GE1308 Energy: Today and Tomorrow, offered by the School participated in the visit to the Zero Carbon Building on 2 October 2016 (Sunday).

During the 1.5-hour visit, the latest green building design and innovative technologies to achieve zero carbon emissions in the construction industry locally and internationally were demonstrated.  The participating students also had a chance to explore the optimal use of natural lighting and ventilation, and the bio-fuel tri-generation system generating power and providing cooling and dehumidification.  Through the showcase at the indoor exhibition and education area, students were amazed by the technologies applied to help raise the community awareness of low carbon living in Hong Kong.
