On 18 November 2022, Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP) and PolyU signed memoranda of understanding for collaboration on research projects on green application, green building materials, and green construction processes to support Hong Kong’s development into a smart city. Prof. WANG Shengwei, Director of the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE), and two other professors will lead three collaborative projects, each worth HK$5 million.
Among them, the green application project “Full Life Cycle Optimisation of Green Smart Building Energy System”, led by Prof. Wang, will be conducted at SHKP’s integrated complex atop the High-Speed Rail West Kowloon Station. This project will enable realtime, flexible and optimised energy control at the site.
