<strong>The</strong> design of the building included lots of elements to let in bountiful<br />

sunlight. Windows <strong>and</strong> floor to ceiling glasses were massively utilized,<br />

allowing maximum natural light in the clubhouse, tower lobbies<br />

<strong>and</strong> apartments <strong>and</strong> bringing the natural picturesque scene to the<br />

residents. Breezeways were reserved in all towers to match with the<br />

mass l<strong>and</strong>scape coverage of the estates. It helps to improve the air<br />

circulation for dispersing heat <strong>and</strong> pollutants within the site boundary<br />

<strong>and</strong> maintain a comfortable living environment for our residents.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Management Company successfully obtained the full support from<br />

the Owners’ Committee <strong>and</strong> owners of Isl<strong>and</strong> Resort to continuously<br />

promote environmental protection <strong>and</strong> energy efficiency works for<br />

years. In 2004, a series of improvement<br />

works had been conducted, including<br />

the dismantlement of an energy saving<br />

lamp in the lobby of each residential<br />

floor, replacement of all T8 tubes <strong>and</strong><br />

electromagnetic ballast in lobbies<br />

<strong>and</strong> staircases with T5 tubes <strong>and</strong> HF<br />

electronic ballast <strong>and</strong> frequent review<br />

of the operation hours of common<br />

facilities etc. <strong>The</strong> energy consumption<br />

was kept to the minimum usage rate<br />

with 1,040,000 kWh saved after a<br />

year <strong>and</strong> at a reduced consumption<br />

equivalent to just 13.2% of that in<br />

2004. Around $1,000,000 electricity<br />

charge was ultimately waived through<br />

the captioned works. In view of these<br />

remarkable achievements, Isl<strong>and</strong> Resort<br />

won the “Silver Award” (Residential<br />

Building) of the “1st Hong Kong<br />

Energy Efficiency Awards” organized<br />

by the Electrical & Mechanical Services<br />
