Contributing to a Green Environment
HA strives to foster a greener environment through implementing
various environmental conservation measures and practices, thus
continuously improving its environmental performance.
New hospital projects in HA are designed and constructed with
prevailing best practicable environmental standards. Various energy
conservation features, including high efficacy lighting, energy-
efficient air-conditioning, hot water, lift and escalator systems were
incorporated as standard provisions in new facilities. Other green
features, such as application of renewable energy, water recycling,
and soft landscaping also provide environmental benefits as well as
healing environments for patients.
In 2013-14, the new North Lantau Hospital was awarded a
Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-
BEAM) Platinum certificate in recognition of sustainable design
and remarkable environmental achievements. Similar energy
conservation technologies were also adopted in other HA facilities
through renovation and retrofitting projects whenever appropriate.
These initiatives can help HA reduce carbon emission and offset
the rising trend of energy consumption incurred by new facilities
and increasing hospital activities. The HA Head Office and 32 public
hospitals and institutions have met the carbon emission reduction
standard of the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence
Scheme and awarded with Carbon’Less’ certificates.
締造綠色環境
醫管局一直致力在運作上實踐保護環境,多年來實
施了不少環保措施,以期締造更綠色健康的環境。
在籌建新醫院時,我們採納現時最切實可行的環
保方案來進行設計和建造,當中包括高效率照明
設備、高效能空調、熱水、升降機和自動梯系統
等,這些節能裝置已經成為新醫院的標準設備。其
他環保設計如可再生能源,循環用水,園林綠化等
亦獲廣泛採用,以提升環保效益,並為病人提供理
想的康復環境。
新落成的北大嶼山醫院在
2013-14
年度獲得香港
「綠建環評」最高級別的白金認證,以表彰其可持
續發展設計和卓越環保表現。 在現有的醫院設施
內,我們會視乎情況適當地應用節能技術,例如納
入各醫院的翻新和改裝工程中。這些節能設備可
減少醫管局的整體碳排放,並緩減因新設施及醫
院服務增加而引致耗能的增加。在
2013-14
年度,
醫管局總辦事處及
32
間醫院及機構在減少碳排放
方面符合香港環保卓越計劃的準則,獲頒減碳證書
以作鼓勵。
