1 Cool Kitchen Cool Kitchen A Brand New Catering Business Concept O pened in July, Cool Kitchen is a private kitchen style restaurant that is built on a low carbon emission business model. It has successfully reduced carbon emission by adopting a range of energy-efficient equipment. Chinese steam cabinets used by most Chinese restaurants produce massive amounts of steam that can raise kitchen temperatures by several degrees. Cool Kitchen has cleverly implemented a heat recycling system to make use of such waste heat. To collect waste heat, a heat exchanger is installed on the top of a Chinese steam cabinet. When cool water passes through the exchanger, it will be heated for cleaning and cooking purposes, turning waste heat into a free energy source. Thanks to its ingenious open kitchen layout, cool air from dining area is circulated to the kitchen before being discharged. Besides airflow circulation, the restaurant has adopted electric cooking equipment which effectively lower the temperature in the kitchen, thereby helping Cool Kitchen live up to its name. The establishment s energy saving solution has enabled it to : Produce 1 million bowls of low carbon noodles per year Reduce its carbon emissions by 100 tonnes and save 30% in energy expenses each year The pioneering co-operation between CLP and Cool Kitchen is an exemplary model of eco-friendly catering in Hong Kong.

2 Munsang College - GREEN Plus Console Munsang College Nurtures 3,600 Green Student Ambassadors M unsang College has recently become the first school in Hong Kong to join the GREENPLUS School Programme. With the support of CLP and Green Power, Munsang College installed the first campus energy consumption monitoring system - GREENPLUS Console. In addition, renewable applications, including solar panels and a wind turbine, were installed on the campus roof and three innovative greenhouses were setup on the sports ground. The GREENPLUS Console located next to tuck shop broadcasts real time information such as the college s total energy consumption, carbon emissions, the amount of solar and wind power generated by the campus s renewable system, as well as energy saving tips and local weather information. Students are encouraged to participate in an inter-class energy-saving competition where energy consumption levels of all Form 3 classes will be displayed side by side for performance benchmarking. Through behavioral change, the programme is expected to nurture 3,600 green student ambassadors, enabling Munsang College to reduce carbon emission by 30 tonnes in the first year. Furthermore, three greenhouses in the campus sports ground were built using reused plastic bottles as the key building materials. Solar panels were installed to power the lighting, ventilation and irrigation systems of each greenhouse in a carbon neutral manner. Munsang College also organises regular eco-friendly activities and inter-class competitions to realise its vision of being a low-carbon campus.

3 Hong Chi Children Home Hong Chi Children Home Installs the First Solar Thermal Heat Pump in Hong Kong H ong Chi Association provides a wide range of services for people with intellectual disabilities. Hong Chi Children Home in Tai Po is one of the Association s 78 service units and offers a nurturing home environment for children in need. Hong Chi Children Home used to rely on storage type electric water heaters which require a lengthy pre-heating period to produce hot water for showering. Recognising the advantages of the spacious and sunny environment at Children Home, CLP recommended Hong Chi to leverage on this readily available renewable energy by installing the first solar thermal heat pump in Hong Kong. Renewable energy generated can provide over 3,000 low carbon showers each year. With the best of both worlds, the solar thermal heat pump system offers many benefits, including: Cost saving: Lower energy cost by 80% Environmentally friendly: Reduce carbon emissions by 2 tonnes per year CLP has a wealth of experience in helping non-profit making and charitable organisations improve their energy efficiency and eco performance.

4 Tung Fong Hung Installs LED Lamps Tung Fong Hung Cuts Energy Bills by Half with LED Lighting T ung Fong Hung Medicine Co. Ltd. operates a business that requires a bright lighting scheme and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. As with other Chinese medicine and jewellery retailers in Hong Kong, Tung Fong Hung used to rely heavily on halogen lamps. While traditional halogen lamps can make dried seafood and other products on display pleasingly attractive, they also generate massive amounts of waste heat. More energy is required to power the additional air-conditioning load which leads to increased energy consumption. The Mong Kok branch of Tung Fong Hung on Nathan Road has recently adopted a range of energy saving solutions. To match the brightness level and quality of previous halogen lamps, 160 pieces of 7W LED lamps were installed. Not only does this save energy consumption of the shop but also lowers temperature inside the showcases significantly. The new lighting scheme is expected to reduce 50% energy expenses and 20 tonnes carbon emissions per year. Tung Fong Hung represents an excellent example for retail industry to improve business performances by applying energy saving solution. For details, please contact your Account Manager.
