Greenery and energy efficiency offer living comfort

17/07/09

The Group is dedicated to protecting the environment; incorporating green elements in all aspects of business. Its numerous eco-friendly property management initiatives offer healthy environments to residents, encourage green living and promote environmental awareness among the general public.

Carefully planned landscapes

The Group's green efforts include making extensive landscaping an essential part of planning. Top professionals offer the best designs in Group developments, with a wide variety of seasonal plants blossoming throughout the year for a truly green environment for residents.

Family garden plots to get close to nature

Many of the Group's residential developments offer family garden plots, including Noble Hill in Sheung Shui, Ocean Shores in Kowloon East, Oscar by the Sea and Park Central in Tseung Kwan O, Aegean Coast and Botania Villa in Tuen Mun and The Parcville, Grand del Sol, Villa Premiere, YOHO Town and Palm Springs in Yuen Long. The plots offer families an easy way to get close to nature, and there are classes to teach residents how to conserve and enhance the greenery together.

A million kWh of power saved at Park Island annually

Energy conservation is another priority in Group developments. Modern technology and power management plans devised by leading environmental consultants help conserve energy. These include energy-efficient bulbs that use 10% less voltage, turning down entrance lobby air conditioning after midnight, automatic power-saving escalators and more.

A concerted effort and innovation at Park Island produced significant results. The estate reduced power consumption by a million kWh in a year; beating 600 developments to be named the most energy-efficient residential estate in Hong Kong in the Friends of the Earth's third Power Smart contest. Yuen Long Plaza won third prize for Actual Percentage Cut and Yuen Long Landmark received a merit award for Actual Units Cut in the same contest.

Green efforts honoured

The Group is committed to incorporating green elements in its developments and promoting activities for green awareness among staff and the public with environmental groups. These efforts have earned the Group number of accolades for environmental protection as it strives towards the goal of a sustainable future with the people of Hong Kong.
