Throughout the year, we continued to adopt innovative low-carbon technologies and management practices and invest in energy efficiency research and development. A lowered energy demand was also observed at some of our portfolios due to impacts by COVID-19. On top of our continuous rollout of energy saving strategies across our portfolios, Swire Properties developed an AI model, in partnership with a digital automation and energy management company, to predict the cooling demand of our commercial building further driving down our energy demand through operation optimisation. We continued to explore opportunities to increase our on-site renewable energy generation across our portfolio and source for off-site renewable electricity, where feasible. This year, we completed the installation of PV panel systems at Devon House and Dorset House at Taikoo Place. Taikoo Hui Guangzhou and Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu are powered by 100% off-site renewable electricity, achieving net-zero carbon in its annual electricity consumption for both landlord and tenant operations. In 2022, Taikoo Li Sanlitun became our third portfolio in the Chinese Mainland to enter into an off-site renewable electricity purchase agreement. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 175
