Contents Message from Executive Director Sustainability Commitment Low-carbon Environment Education and Engagement Workforce Well-being and Development Awards and Recognitions Outlook ENERGY AUDIT A comprehensive energy audit by CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP) and Hongkong Electric Co., Ltd (HKE) commenced in 2022, covering 26 sites conducted during 2024 and 2025. GREEN FACILITIES AND SYSTEMS To advance sustainable campus development, the VTC is progressively implementing a range of green building initiatives and facility upgrades guided by energy-saving strategies. Progress is being actively monitored across 6 audited sites, where 77% of the identified energy-saving measures have been adopted Audit for the remaining 2 sites on Hong Kong Island is being carried out by HKE Solar Window Filming Installed at 12 sites, effectively reducing cooling energy demand for air-cooling systems Explored extension to more sites Replacement of Window-type Air Conditioners Replaced window-type air conditioning units with centralised high-efficiency systems as part of ongoing retrofitting projects Temperature Monitoring Installed indicators to track area temperatures for air conditioning optimisation Chiller Plant Replacement Implemented a five-year programme to replace ageing central air-conditioning systems with high-efficiency units and optimised cooling controls Smart Meters Installed at 16 sites to activate energy management tools Enabled campus management to monitor energy usage, identify trends and detect irregularities Supported energy utilisation optimisation and proactive energy-saving strategies Lighting Infrastructure Upgrade Progressively replaced existing lighting with energy-efficient LEDs equipped with occupancy sensors, motion detectors and timers to optimise energy usage Installed outdoor solar lights to harness renewable energy Lift Modernisation In the second year of a five-year programme to upgrade lifts and escalators across VTC premises Photovoltaic (PV) Panels Installation Scheduled implementation under the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme, guided by a feasibility study on the installation Aims to reduce carbon emissions and integrate sustainability into both learning and teaching, and campus operations through student and staff participation BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY 7
