A more energy efficient cooling solution
Veolia has designed, built and operated Hong Kong's first District Cooling System to provide the new development area of Kai Tak with an energy efficient air-conditioning system.
The facility uses seawater as a cooling medium to produce chilled water to consumer buildings in the Kai Tak District, replacing traditional decentralised air-conditioning systems in the consumer buildings. Chilled water travels through an underground water distribution network to provide green cooling to an non-domestic air-conditioning area spanning 1.7 million m2 and consisting of offices, schools, MTR stations, shopping mall, hospital and Cruise Terminal.
