Energy efficiency funding schemes launched

(HONG KONG – April 23, 2009) The $450 million Building Energy Efficiency Funding Schemes have been launched to subsidize more than 1,600 projects to enhance the energy efficiency of Hong Kong's buildings.
      Funded by the Environment & Conservation Fund the schemes will provide subsidies on a matching basis. For applications involving a single building, the funding caps will be $150,000 and $500,000 per building for energy-cum-carbon audits and energy-efficiency projects.
For applications involving more than one building, a limit of 50% of the approved total actual expenditure spent will be provided without a maximum cap.
      The schemes will give building owners an incentive to conduct energy-cum-carbon audits and energy efficiency projects for their buildings. It will also create business and job opportunities for various sectors such as the electrical, mechanical, building services and environmental engineering sectors.
      Energy-cum-carbon audits can help building owners systematically review the use of energy and quantify the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their buildings, as well as to identify opportunities for the enhancement of energy efficiency and conservation and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions arising from building operations.
