Climate Mitigation
Q2: How to improve energy efficiency in import and retail business?
If we are to avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change, we must keep our total carbon emissions to within a budget of 1,000 trillion tonnes globally. Yet half of this budget has been used up since the industrial revolution and on current trends the rest will be used up in the next few decades. Hong Kong is a high consumption society, ranking second in terms of carbon footprint per capita if embedded carbon in imported goods is taken into account. The challenge is for Hong Kong to reduce carbon emissions and be able to maintain social well-being at the same time.

Incentive for sustainable consumption
- free high efficiency products;
- incentify customer to consume less

Uncatagorized ideas (so without project names yet)
- shopping mall temp. @26
- online shop
- motion detectors for switching or dimming, lowering supply....
- self-producing and local production
- use thermal camera to find out energy wastes items
- 3D printer in each family
- minimize the usage of packaging materials
- sell durable and recycle products
- LED or efficient LIGHTING
- digitial technology use instead of conference travels
- sensor driven lighting and A/C
- shared offices
- Advanced tech for A/C i.e. magnetic sensor driven
- Incentisify customer to consume less

Green Building and Logistics
- Renewable energy and energy saving for logistic arrangements;
- High Efficiency or high COP motor or chiller;
- Non air-conditioning area e.g. in restaurant;
- Green Design Guidelines for shops
- Use solar energy and nono technology for lighting system;
- Reduce traditional lighting system for advertising ;
- Demand response programmes for non-essential utility needs;
- Compressed work weeks to reduce energy use;
- Just make fresh air supply;
- People counting technology (air-conditiononly for crowded area)

Reduce energy consumption in office and retail business.
We proactively use monitoring process thru technology to lower the energy consumption. A great example for retailers is using people counting technology to understand the no. of visitors in all areas, no all areas need air-condition (AC), the areas that have low visiting rate should be considered giving the lowest air-condition by turning the AC down instead of turning it up. Thermal imager is another device to be used for scanning areas with air-conditioners, where are not supposed to get such low temperature when there is no need of that. By visualizing the status of the current temperature, we can smartly allocate our AC.
