We continued working with three tenants on the Smart Power Metering System pilot programme that is allowing landlords and tenants to continuously review energy consumption patterns, identify potential energy savings and drive behavioural change. To promote water efficiency and raise awareness about the importance of conserving water, we completed the installation of wireless water sub-meters for office tenants in Taikoo Place and Citygate, and began installation works in Pacific Place. In Taikoo Place, we also began to proactively help tenants review the efficiency of their water fittings and make simple retrofits to reduce their faucets’ flow rate. While waste measurement usually involves manual weighing and recording, we continue to embrace emerging technologies that can digitalise the waste data collection process. In 2021, with the support of the Swire Pacific SD Fund, we launched the Smart Waste Reduction Challenge, where smart scales are retrofitted underneath bins inside tenants’ premises to collect waste data. In 2022, the Challenge welcomed more tenants. In parallel, we also began a Smart Mobile Scale Pilot programme, in which cleaning contractors are provided with a designated cloud-connected scale with which they weigh and record tenants’ waste in the back-of-house area. We will continue to identify, evaluate and expand approaches that promote data sharing and help all parties cut down on energy, water and waste in the hopes of deepening collaboration with our tenants.
