China’s Ambition in Green Technology
“We can no longer sacrifice the environment for the sake
of rapid development and rash construction.”
- Premier Wen JiaBao
“To resolve this problem [of developing the
economy and protecting the environment] we
again have to rely on technology.”
- Zhao Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection
“Propelled by China’s economic expansion and ambitious
policies, greentech markets in China have grown swiftly,
showing no signs of slowing.”
- The China Greentech Report 2011

China’s Ambition in Green Technology
The 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2016) further
emphasises energy and environment development
Improve Building Energy Saving
More Mandatory Green Targets
All new buildings are mandated to achieve
65% energy savings compared to the
existing building stock
The 12th FYP maintained the existing four
mandatory greentech targets while adding
6 new mandates, e.g. percentage of nonfossil fuel from primary energy
consumption
Energy and Environmental Taxes
Policies for Innovation Stepped Up
New environmental tax plan which is likely
to be levied on CO2 emissions and
discharges of polluted water, has been
submitted to the State Council for review
Strategic Emerging Industries which
include new energy vehicles, energy
efficiency and new energy (solar, wind
and biomass) are identified to help
advance economic development.

The Green Opportunities in China
China is emerging as a leader in many environmental
areas including renewable energy adoption, vehicle
fuel economy and emissions, and energy efficiency
China aims to boost the share of non-fossil fuels in its
primary energy mix to 15% by 2020
Over half of China’s residential buildings will need to be
rebuilt in the next 20 years, government support for the
eco-city movement is impressive
Alignment of government, businesses, nongovernmental organisations and other stakeholders on
the vision of a more environmentally sustainable China

Phase 3 Objectives
To plan and develop Phase 3 into a sustainable
development that incorporates the latest practical
green technologies and sustainable building design
To use Phase 3 as a showcase for sustainable
practice, construction and development in Hong Kong
Targeting net zero carbon with due consideration of
cost-effectiveness and road-mapping
To evolve Phase 3 into the catalyst to develop Hong
Kong and Pearl River Delta Region as the hub for
Green-tech
Sustainability Design Principles
Master Planning – Enhance Livability
Air Ventilation
Solar Heat Gain
Outdoor Thermal Comfort
Building Design – Enhance Resource Efficiency
Zero Carbon
Others: Carbon offset, off-site green power
Renewable Energy (RE): Photovoltaic, BIPV, wind
turbine, bio-fuel
Others
Renewable Energy
Active Design: Energy-efficient system, lighting
control, low power density office appliance
Enhance Energy Efficiency
Passive Design: natural ventilation, daylighting, solar
shading
Reduce Loading / Demand
Building a Green Future at Science Park
The design and construction of Phase 3 will attract
international leading green technology service
providers to set up and establish their operations in HK,
thus stimulating and enhancing the growth of the
cluster
Science Park is poised to assume a central position in
strengthening HK’s green culture and spurring
innovation in the Green Tech sector
Advances on this front would not only enhance the
competitiveness of Hong Kong but also address the
global imperative to consume renewable energy and
protect the environment
