The Hong Kong Qualifications Framework (HKQF) was officially launched in 2008. It aims to provide a platform to promote lifelong learning with a view to continuously enhancing the quality, professionalism and competitiveness of our workforce in an increasingly globalised and knowledge-based economy. It is a seven-level hierarchy that orders and supports qualifications of academic, vocational and continuing education. The Property Management Industry Training Advisory Committee (ITAC) was established in 2006 to implement and promote QF in its industry. With the Specification of Competency Standards (SCS) formulated under the steer of the Property Management ITAC, quite a number of SCS-based programmes have been developed and a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) mechanism launched for its practitioners.

Present by Qualifications Framework Secretariat (QFS)
The Qualifications Framework Secretariat (QFS) is an executive office underpinning the Education Bureau (EDB) for the development and implementation of the HKQF.

Session (2), 19:30 - 20:30
To lead to a boarder professional perspective in green & intelligent buildings for Asia, we may consider two distinguished building rating systems: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Intelligent Building Index (IBI), which are resulted from tens of thousands of volunteer hours in researching and practicing by professionals.

IFMA Hong Kong Chapter has invited the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to present to our members a LEED webinar on Tuesday, October 22, 2013.

Background:

LEED is the most widely recognized and widely used green building program across the globe, with projects in over 140 countries and 140,000 square meters certified every day. LEED for Existing Buildings was created to improve the way that buildings are operated and maintained over time, and to verify environmental performance. International landmark Class A assets, including the Empire State Building in New York, Taipei 101, and Two IFC in Hong Kong, have used LEED for Existing Buildings to guide reductions in energy, water and maintenance costs, and improvements in occupant wellbeing. Global corporations recognize the value and consistency of LEED, and building owners and operators have used LEED certification to attract top tenants.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club's "Our Green Place" is a 510 square meter garden on the roof of headquarters building and is full of environmental elements. Its extensive use of plants not only transforms the roof into a bright and green area, but also creates a cooling effect for the building below. This in turn enables the Club to increase its energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and reduce energy costs.

A number of environmental friendly technologies have been adopted. For instance, the plants on the vertical green wall are irrigated by water discharged from the water-cooled chillers installed on the roof. Other features include solar-powered irrigation and lamps, eco-friendly timber decks and the use of eco-bricks made from recycled glass. The walls carry decorations made from used tyres, while the corridors display artistic metal sculptures created by Club farriers from recycled horseshoes.

Programme Highlights:
In Hong Kong, town gas is produced at two production plants. Major supplies of 97% come from the Tai Po Plant, with the Ma Tau Kok Plant making up the rest.

Located in the Tai Po Industrial Estate, the HK$2 billion Tai Po Plant has a total area of 11.71 hectares and was constructed in two phases. The first phase commenced opera-tion in December 1986 and construction of the second phase was completed in 1992. Towngas made further modifications to the plant between 2003 and 2006 to cope with increasing customer demand. It has a maximum supply capacity of 9.6 million standard cubic metres of gas a day.

To commit the environmental policy, town gas is now made from high quality naphtha instead of heavy fuel oil, which reduces the emission of sulphur oxide during production. In 2006, Towngas introduced natural gas as a partial feedstock replacement for naphtha.

During the visit, you will be briefed on the town gas production process, plants facilities and its environmental initiatives. After the briefing, you will be invited to visit the naphtha tank farm and natural gas facilities.

With the increasing promotion of energy saving, more and more building owners start to pay attention to energy saving and emission reduction. Optimization of energy-saving operation for air conditioning chiller plant system can play an important role for this energy saving and emission reduction promotion. An energy-saving retrofit was carried out on Shanghai IFC chiller plant system, by doing this, the system operating efficiency has been improved significantly and its energy consumption has then been reduced. This research study analyzed the optimization methods and their effects on energy saving and emission reduction based on real operation data from the IFC chiller plant system. We hope this analysis can provide some guidance for future implementation of chiller plant control system optimization to other buildings.

The Hong Kong datacenter market is booming. According to CB Richard Ellis office rents in the city’s CBD are still the highest in the world. However datacenters still need a place to go and users complain they cant fit them in on top of which they are constrained by uncertain economies and changeable business expansion plans.

So what made some datacentre users decide to invest in huge new facilities, and why are they building them in Hong Kong? On top of the end-user activity colo companies have also found the confidence to invest in this growing market. What has Hong Kong got to offer and will all the new centres be putting a strain on resources?

What is different about these new facilities that set them apart from other options? And most importantly will they be able to meet the requirements for flexibility, speed and power that the market insists upon? The Conference will have answers to these questions and more at Datacentre Space Hong Kong. Topics include: Hong Kong compared to regional datacenter options Local Hong Kong datacenter options and potential tenants Choosing to colo or build – how the new stock makes a difference How to choose datacenter space including the non technical criteria Risks in the Hong Kong datacenter market.

As datacentres become the hottest property in Hong Kong and China multinational end users and regional datacentre operaters want to know the practical, legal, logistical and financial implications of locating their facilities in each market. Datacentre Space Asia Conference will be held on 21 March in Regal Hong Kong Hotel will answer your questions.

Meet hundreds of delegates from the datacentre industry including case studies from the latest datacentre projects of both colo companies and corporate users, such as banks and multinational tech giants. As the region’s leading media company for industries that make up the built environment we have run several datacentre conferences since 2006 and have a strong track record of attracting a combination of real estate, engineering and IT professionals.
