Water Consumption Efficiency Audit Program for HK Jockey Club

In the past summer, Dunwell Engineering Co., Ltd. undertook a consultancy project to study the water consumption efficiency at the headquarters and racecourses in Happy Valley and Shatin respectively of Hong Kong Jockey Club. With the co-operation with Johnson Control, Dunwell is responsible for the job involved site measurement on water consumption, analysis of water consumption and provision of practical water saving solutions. Since Hong Kong is lack of natural water, water saving is always an emphasis of the government, enterprises and individuals. However, without a thorough and detailed analysis program, the initiative can hardly gain a strong momentum, nor can it achieve the best results.

In view of the above phenomenon, engineers at Dunwell conducted the Water Consumption Efficiency Audit Program for the headquarters’ office building in Happy Valley in August and September 2007. With the results from the site measurement on water consumption, a water consumption table showing the water consumption of each department was compiled, and the table is the baseline for the following water reduction program. Since Hong Kong has no official guidelines or indicators for water saving and water consumption for office building, our engineers studied the standards from the US, Mainland China and the UK for preparing a detailed water saving proposal to Jockey Club. In the next three seasons, our engineers will continue to implement the remaining Water Consumption Efficiency Audit Programs on Shatin headquarters as well as racecourses of Happy Valley and Shatin.
