Case Story (2):
Promoting an Eco-efficient
Lifestyle
Broadwood Twelve, a 45–storey luxury apartment building in
Happy Valley, is HHL’s latest residential property development
demonstrating how we integrated our sustainability values into
building design and management.
Environmentally Friendly Building Design
From the outset, we have integrated environmental considerations
into the building design. Green features of the building include:
• Natural air ventilation
• Increased day light penetration and reduced need for
electricity for lighting
• Low-emissive double glazing on windows of the main façade
reducing the amount of cooling needed
• Energy efficient fittings and lighting and energy saving
features installed in the lift operation system
• Electric vehicle charging stations
• Consultation with experts on landscape design to ensure
conservation of the natural greenery
• A sky garden and a podium garden to help balance the building
microclimate
Eco-efficient Building Management
In managing the building, we put great emphasis on promoting
an eco-efficient lifestyle to our residents. All units are finished
with high quality materials and fittings with sustainable and
practical considerations taken into account. Thoughtful design,
ready-to-use condition avoids redecoration, reducing hassle and
waste. Even for show flats, we furnished them with the original
fine wooden flooring and all original fittings and finishes of the
bathrooms and kitchen so as to minimise redecoration when they
are eventually sold.
To ensure the ongoing management of the building to be conducted
in a sustainable way, we have set up stringent environment
management guidelines. The facility and property management of
Broadwood Twelve has complied with the requirements of the ISO
14001 environmental management system.
Engaging Residents in Green Initiatives
We endeavour to increase the environmental awareness of our
residents. Green living news will be updated periodically and displayed
on our e-notice board to reduce printing and paper usage. We also
provide collection facilities for the recycling of paper, plastic, metals,
electronics, batteries and fluorescent lamps. All Broadwood Twelve
residences are invited to participate in the programme on Source
Separation of Waste promoted by the Hong Kong Environmental
Campaign Committee and Environmental Protection Department.
This encourages waste separation and expands on the variety of
recyclables to be recovered. To facilitate residents to adopt green
transportation, 20 EV chargers have been installed in its car park.
