Its Park Island residential development has a wide array of innovative green features that save a million kWh of electricity annually. The estate recently beat 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.

Innovative energy-efficiency measures

Kai Shing Management Services runs Park Island. Kai Shing worked with an energy-efficiency consultant over the past year to devise a comprehensive power-saving scheme for Park Island. The estate replaced lights with energy-efficient bulbs and lowered electrical voltage by 10% from 220 to 190 volts. Teamwork in the estate and innovative measures produced significant results and Park Island achieved a 10% reduction in power consumption.
