Air conditioning accounts for 30% of Hong Kong's electricity consumption on average. To
improve the environment and conserve energy in Hong Kong, one of the Government's
majorinitiativesisimplementingadistrictcoolingsystem(DCS)attheKaiTakDevelopment
(KTD) to supply chilled water to buildings in the new development area for centralised
airconditioning.KTD,withaplannedtotalofabout1.7millionsquaremetres(m2)inpublic
and private nondomestic air conditioned floor areas requiring about 284 megawatt (MW)
coolingcapacity,presentsauniqueopportunityforimplementationofaDCSinHongKong.
The DCS project is to construct a large scale centralized airconditioning system which
produces chilled water at its central chiller plants and distributes the chilled water to user
buildingsinKTDthroughanundergroundwaterpipingnetwork.Theprojectcommencedin
2011 and the works are targeted to be fully commissioned by 2021. The project will be
developed and commissioned for operation in phases. The early phases of the DCS project
have been implemented and this visit provides a valuable opportunity for participants to
appreciate the latest development of district cooling system and to know more about its
