Energy Centre
Options testing
Energy Centre is proposed to centralize the energy equipment, improving the energy effiency and reducing carbon dixide emission.
Option 1
Features:
• Divided into three energy centers
Advantage:
• Does not affect the current infrastructure
Option 2
A4 has an independent energy center to support its own operations.
After the construction of the Blue Zone Energy Center, it is connected to the A4 Energy Center.

Food Waste Composting System
Supply & Demand Analysis
Large amount of food waste would be produced everyday in campus. Food Waste Decomposing System proposed can reduce the volume of food
First phase:
Total green area = 9600m2
Fertilizer demand = 1,300kg / day
- Kitchen waste = 1,200kg / day
Fertilizer production = 230kg / day < 1,300 kg / day (can digest all food waste)
Third Phase:
Total green area = 6,400m2
Fertilizer demand = 890 kg / day
Kitchen waste = 600 kg / day
Fertilizer production = 120 kg / day < 890 kg / day (can digest all food waste)
waste dramatically by ~75% meanwhile the output composts can be used for local landscape.
Second Phase:
- Total green area = 16,000m2
Fertilizer demand = 2,200 kg / day
- Kitchen waste = 1,600 kg / day
Fertilizer production = 320 kg / day < 2,200 kg / day (can digest all food waste)

Automatic Waste Recycling System
Options testing
General Waste Recycling System
Central waste dump location considerations:
• Try to be in the center of the park
• Close to the driveway
• Design considerations:
• The system covers the building
• Set up recycling points outdoors
• Minimize the impact on the first phase of infrastructure
Kitchen Waste Recycling System
Design considerations:
• Only for buildings with restaurants or canteens
• Alumni Hall
• A building in the North District
• Set up recycling points outdoors
Dirty clothes Recycling System
Design considerations:
• In addition to Buildings 1 and 2, other buildings are equipped with collection points.
• No outdoor recycling point

Micro-Climate Analysis
Summary of Recommendations
• Building height gradient – gradually increasing from north to south, gradually increasing from west to east
• More architectural choices are aerodynamically designed
• Building No. 3 – overhead overhead for improved ventilation – sky garden design for improved ventilation
• Building No. 1 and No. 2 - Building volume can be reduced and the building spacing can be increased
• No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 Building Group - The building has a large volume and can be properly partitioned to provide building spacing.
• A pedestrian walkway of more than 6 meters wide is provided between buildings A4 and No. 5 to improve the ventilation of the No. 8 square.
• Building 4a - Reduce the volume of the building on the north side, overhead at the bottom of the northwest corner to reduce architectural shadows
• Regional walking trails - shades of trees with larger crowns provide shade
• Courtyard garden – at number 1, 3 and 4, increase the number of trees to increase shade density
• Squares and Avenues – at 7th, 8th and 9th, combined with landscape design, providing sun protection and reducing solar radiation

Ecological Planning
Biodiversity off-setting is the benchmark international best-practice, demonstrating ‘no-net-loss’ or ‘net gain’ of ecological functioning as part of any development project. This is of particular importance when developments take place in ecologically sensitive
areas. AECOM’s experience in resource assessment, habitat quality modeling and integrated planning allows us to quickly assess baseline conditions and develop planning solutions that meet or exceed biodiversity offsetting objectives

Underground Space Development, Hong Kong
AECOM adopted Computer-Aided Sustainability Evaluation Tool (CASET) to assess the sustainability performance of various development scenarios for underground spaces in three strategic urban areas in
Hong Kong. The analysis considered various factors including:
• Economy
• Health and Hygiene
• Natural Resources
• Society and Social Infrastructure
• Biodiversity
• Leisure and Cultural Vibrancy
• Environmental Quality
• Mobility
