Sai Kung WM Hotel

The project embraced a holistic approach to sustainability, focusing on energy efficiency, environmental impact reduction, and enhancing indoor comfort. To meet the ambitious sustainability goals, they turned to the professionals of our company. BEE was involved in the project process at the early design stage, offering sustainable advice and conducting feasibility studies.

Before the design phase, extensive site location research highlighted the area’s high sustainability potential:

• The local community features appropriate development density and excellent connectivity to diverse facilities.
• The site enjoys convenient access to public transportation, situated within a 1/4-mile walking distance of 2 bus stops serving multiple bus lines.

KEY PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Design and Planning

This phase was crucial for the project’s sustainability, with every detail meticulously planned to achieve optimal efficiency:

• During the initial phase, careful consideration was given to the shape and orientation of the building, taking into account local climate conditions and adopting a reasonable zoning layout to minimize energy demand.
• Landscape design included a multi-level greenery strategy to maximize open space.
• Commissioning processes were conducted before site opening to ensure the correct installation of all building service systems.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency was a primary focus, with the project adopting a range of optimization strategies throughout its lifecycle:

• Prioritization of energy savings from the building envelope, employing high-performance materials for external walls and glazing.
• Purchase of all energy-efficient equipment to reduce overall power consumption.
• Use of low-impact refrigerants for HVAC systems (with low ODP & GWP).
• Reduction of light power density in each room by minimizing unnecessary luminaire use and selecting high-energy-efficient lighting products.
• Implementation of smart and intelligent systems to maintain indoor comfort and reduce energy consumption.
• Installation of advanced energy metering devices for real-time energy monitoring.
