This is the fourth intake of the certified carbon auditor training course. This course has been announced by the Environment Bureau of the HKSAR Government as related to energy-cum-carbon audit projects meeting the training requirements for a professional engineer to register as a qualified service provider to certify energy-cum-carbon audit projects under the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF).

The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas due to power generation, transportation and other industrial/commercial activities have caused serious climate change and environmental impacts worldwide. Each corporation should immediately implement carbon-reducing measures to mitigate the problems. The first important step is to carry out a carbon audit to identify the sources of carbon emission and quantify the carbon footprint of a corporation.

The HKSAR Government is taking the lead to promote carbon audit. HK$450 million has been reserved under the ECF to subsidize energy-cum-carbon audit projects and energy efficiency projects for building owners in Hong Kong. The scheme is very much well received by the professional societies and the general public at large. As an active professional institution and one of the green partners in Hong Kong, the Energy Institute is in full support of this initiative by providing timely and quality certified carbon auditor training course to train up more engineers and professionals to appreciate carbon audit and to acquire the necessary skills to conduct the professional carbon audits.

Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding, private dispute resolution process in which a neutral person, the mediator, helps the parties to reach their own negotiated agreement. Mediation has proven an outstandingly successful management tool for resolving difficult disputes. It is a means by which the parties can re-learn the basis of communication with which they can then resolve future disputes. This is particularly important in construction and engineering disputes where invariably there are ongoing issues to be resolved..

Greenhouse gases (GHG) have been widely recognized as the key contributors to global warming making drastic climate change in the last decade. The change in climate has been directly or indirectly affecting us environmentally, socially and economically. The entire eco-system is now continuously being challenged by human acts and natural disasters and soon it might hit the tipping point that things could not be resumed as before. Developing without harming the environment is almost unrealistic. Striving the balance is however the key for achieving sustainability as the ultimate goal to all of us.

Hong Kong is an ideal place for Electric Vehicles (EV) - high fuel prices and short driving distances make electric cars a viable alternative to conventional gasoline vehicles. EVs are also an integral part of facilitating a “Greener Hong Kong” by reducing roadside emissions and increasing the overall efficiency of transport. However, a reliable EV charging network is vital to alleviate "range anxiety" that many users associate with electric vehicles. CLP Power has recently launched a pilot plan to build the first EV charging network in Hong Kong. Its emergence will encourage drivers to consider electric vehicles and hopefully lead to its widespread use.

This technical seminar will provide an opportunity to introduce members the insights into the pilot plan and the challenges for an Electric Vehicle Charging network both currently and in the future.

Every manager and engineer can accept that continuous improvement is required if increasing demands for energy and carbon efficiency are to be met. Yet most facilities in Hong Kong have never had an independent investment grade energy audit completed one time, let alone at regular intervals. This presentation will address the reason for this situation, and suggest a way forward.

Robert Allender is a well-known energy management expert who founded his professional services firm, Energy Resources Management, in 1992. Just as the name indicates, ERM manages its clients’ energy resources, effectively acting as clients’ defacto Vice President of Energy Management. Robert was the first person in Asia to receive CEM accreditation. He is also a CEA and a Fellow of HKAEE.

Utilities such as sewers and stormwater drains have ever greater stresses placed on them as populations grow and materials age. In order to efficiently manage these assets, reliable, low cost and robust methods of monitoring are required. Sewer level overflow detection systems have now been introduced and are proving to be a critical tool in identifying, prioritising and managing sewerage systems. A simple but robust unit which alerts the user according to high levels of water in the asset is married to a high tech SCADA system to manage and disseminate the information to the various user groups. This presentation will look at a pilot project of 50 such units that has been running for the last year inclusive of the software management system that was developed as part of the project.

With advances in telecommunications over the last decade, there is a strong argument for implementing environmental monitoring projects online and in real time. By having a central website to access all project information and data sets, users of the information are better equipped to gather the data they need and to troubleshoot any anomalies they encounter. Online monitoring systems also collect better quality data since any instrumentation issues are rapidly identified and can be resolved as compared to traditional methods of site downloads. This presentation will detail the advantages real time project and data delivery as well as visiting through the World Wide Web an actual live project.
