An Investigation on the Indoor Temperature under Air-conditioning

TEAM MEMBERS:

CHENG, Ka Yan Aileen | HU, Lan Qing William | MAK, King Ho Marco | SUEN, Wai Hei Alvan

Right: Dymaxion Map

In our project we will go into the relationships between ecological footprints of our built environment and sustainability through the investigation of air-conditioning in Admiralty. Admiralty, being a central business district, has in it plentiful of major commercial buildings; while the commercial sector contributes up to 65% of energy consumption in Hong Kong, with about 30% coming from air-conditioning; studying the air-conditioning in Admiralty will certainly give us insights as to the energy footprint of the area.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

Since we are not able to find out the exact energy consumption of specific buildings in our site - instead of telling exactly how large the energy footprint of the buildings are in the local map, we resort to studying how much energy buildings could have saved by using the relationship: an increase in 1°C can save about 3% of electricity used for air-conditioning (Cheng, 2007), and using 25.5°C as the orthodox temperature (with reference to the government’s 25.5°C campaign). Our map shows the indoor temperature of various buildings in the site we measured at the ground level, and in our first diagram we estimate the percentage of energy that should

have been saved if the 25.5°C rule is adopted. Our second diagram shows the commercial energy end-uses in Hong Kong, which gives us an insight as to how energy are used and what activities do they facilitate in Admiralty, namely lighting, cooking, office equipment, etc. In knowing where the energy goes to, we can target our footprint-reducing efforts very specifically by focusing efforts on these end-uses. Our dymaxion map tells the energy consumption per capita of countries, as published by the World Resources Institute for the year 2010. In studying the map we can compare the energy consumption of Hong Kong (2 tonnes oil equivalent) with the other parts of the world. References. Cheng, Y.-w. (2007).

Milk Footprint

TEAM MEMBERS:

CHIU, Sai Ka Roy | FUNG, Sai Lung Mark | HUANG, I-yang | TUNG, Wai Yin Ryan

Right: Dymaxion Map

Humans are the only mammals that consume milk long after being weaned, and the only species that consumes milk from other species (Oster, 1984). The dairy milk plays an important role in Hong Kong people’s life. There are local milk brands (e.g. Trappist Diary) and foreign milk brands (e.g. Pura) in Hong Kong’s market but milk importation from other countries is greatly larger than the local milk production. Therefore, our project interests in the flow of non-local milk entering Hong Kong and the milk entering Admiralty.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

In the local map, we indicate the shops selling milk in Admiralty. The areas in Admiralty with different orange show the how the milk is selling to different places. We use circle to surround different shops, each circle represents the number of various brand of milk is delivered to the shops. Also, we highlight two main roads in Admiralty which are major responsible for the transportation of the milk. The Harcourt Road and Queens Road facilitate the local milk and imported milk to enter Admiralty with a faster rate in order to

prevent the rapid deterioration of milk. The dymaxion map indicates where the milk outside of Hong Kong’s physical boundaries importing from is. It includes some statistics to show the quantities of milk imported from different countries. As production dairy milk involves sterilization, packaging and transportation, the two diagrams is illustrating these processes and depicting the milk flow. One of the diagram tells a story that where the milk is imported to Hong Kong. The diagram also composes statistics to help us understand the ecological footprint of milk. Another diagram illustrates the processed of milk from manufacture to delivery. References. Oster, K. (1984). Xanthine Oxidase. In: Freed, David (1984) Health Hazards of Milk. Bailliere Tindall: London. 239.

People in Motion CHAK, Ka Yan Leona | KWOK, Wing Tung | PUN, Chun Hin | TSE, Tung Anthony

Right: Dymaxion Map: Gleam of Flight

People are constantly in motion. One of the most commonly practiced human activities is travelling. However, during the transporting process, energy has to be consumed and waste is produced. Land is used to construct infrastructures to support transportation and human movements. This is an ecological footprint created by the motion of people. In this project, our group has investigated the intensity and pattern of people’s motion, from a global scale to the local scale namely Hong Kong as a whole and Admiralty, which is one of the major commercial area of Hong Kong. Different approaches have been made so that more information about the flow of people in various scales or dimensions can be gathered.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

The dymaxion map, “Gleam of Flight” shows the daily flights that arrive Hong Kong from different parts of the world. This map illustrates people flow from a global scale by air traffic; it shows the pattern and amount of arrival flights, which in other words represented the pattern and

quantity of people coming to Hong Kong every day. The second map, “Temperature of Flow”, zooms in to local scale and it shows Hong Kong’s underground traffic, the railway system. This map demonstrates the passenger flow in the Mass Transit railway (MTR) by showing the density of people in each station. This enables us to see the people flow of the areas covered by the MTR system. The third map, “People in Microscope”, zooms in further to our assigned area, Admiralty, and shows the density and direction of people flow after they exit different MTR station exits of Admiralty. The forth and largest map, “Roots of Traffic”, lines are used visually present the routes and density of all buses, mini-buses, trams, MTR and habour ferries within Admiralty. The pattern and density of people flow are shown through transportation. Thus this can enhance our understanding to the division and different concentration of ecological footprint imprinted on the land of Admiralty.

Waste Track – Free Newspaper GO, Lok Hei | JIN, Ke Fan | SO, Kai Yin | CHAN, Shing Hin

Right: Dymaxion Map

In this project, we intend to find out how the free newspapers are distributed, transported and thrown. Free newspaper is very common in Hong Kong. Most of them are dispatched outside or inside the MTR station where has a huge stream of people in the morning. Because of this phenomenon, a great amount of waste of paper has been generated and thrown to rubbish bins or recycle bins every day.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

In the site map of Admiralty, we have shown the track of free newspapers within the area, where they are dispatched, carried and discarded. The free newspapers were first distributed beside several MTR stations and people continue to travel with them. After being read, newspapers would be thrown into recycle bins or rubbish bins, which are indicated in the site map according to our site visit and government information. And in the case of Admiralty, free newspaper discarded near the station would be gathered at the recycle station which is under the Admiralty Center, being transferred to the Chai Wan Wharf.

One of our additional diagrams examines the life cycle of newspaper, how it is produced, used and disposed. To emphasis the whole system of the newspaper track, the information of creation and cutting of woods are shown in the dymaxion map to explore the problem of deforestation, one of the life stages of free newspaper. The last additional diagram explores the distribution of recycle company in Hong Kong. Recycle is an important way for handling the waste. The amount of recycle company in an area therefore reflects the efficiency of transporting and reducing the wastes within the area. Through the four diagrams, we have explored the track of free newspaper from different scales and stages, providing a comprehensive ecological footprint of waste in Admiralty.

How Water Comes and Goes CHUNG, Cheuk Him | JIANG, Nai Xin | TSE, Ka Man | YIP, Tsun Yin

Right: Dymaxion Map

Our group has the local destination of Admiralty. We focus mainly on the transportation of water, both water for consumption and discharge. The contrast between office areas and residential areas in Admiralty attracted our most attention during our site visit. Therefore, in this local ecological footprint map, we try to demonstrate the differences on drainage system between these two kinds of urban places through mapping the type and the location of the drainage covers and sewer. For the global-scale dymaxion map, we are showing the water consumption in different countries, demonstrating by the numbers of water bottles above their respective geological locations. The tendency of water consumption worldwide can be seen clearly through the rearrangement of the world map. A threedimensional version is also available for better illustration.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

Speaking of the two diagrams extended from our local map, one is on water consumption. With the coverage of

entire Hong Kong, it shows the locations of reservoirs and treatment work, also how the water before and after treatment are connected to the treatment plants. The other one is on rainwater discharge. It is a map covering Hong Kong Island, showing the extent of the Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel, which runs through Admiralty. This drainage is a new project launched to improve the flooding problem there. We show the direction of storm water flow and the locations that it collects water from small drainage pipelines. Also how it helps dissipate them from the higher lands of the peak towards the flat ground, indicating by the density of blue color. Through the research and mapping, we begin to realize how water footprint extends in Admiralty and Hong Kong, especially about the rain water. Hong Kong’s ecological footprint on water could be further condensed through batter recycling system.

North-West Shelf, Australia

Ap Lei Chau has a specific energy consumption pattern. It is an island which divides itself into areas of different land uses, namely industrial, residential and commercial uses. Because of this, there is a huge difference in levels of energy consumption between different areas, as well as between day-time and night-time. The original production source of electricity is all round the globe, while the local transmission process is complicate. In Ap Lei Chau, electricity is mainly generated through coal and natural gas combustion; these natural resources are imported from foreign country. Coal is shipped from Indonesia and Australia, while natural gas is imported from NorthWest Shelf in Australia. In addition, wind power and solar power, generated at the Hong Kong Lamma Power Station, are used for increasing electricity supply. Overall, the electricity supply of Ap Lei Chau is a combination of global and local resources. Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

In the mapping of local ecological footprint, we have decided to divide the whole zone into 2 areas, with and without electricity supply. Then the transmission station and sub-station are spotted on the map, representing by yellow buildings and

dots. The electricity consumption intensity can be represented by the intensity of the dots, where in order to facilitate the high consumption, more sub-station is needed for lowering the voltage and have a more reliable distribution. In this way, the local ecological footprint on energy consumption can be mapped out. Upon our investigation, in day-time, it is discovered that the area with the highest intensity of energy consumption is industrial area located at the southern part of the island, which consumes about 1500 MW electricity a year. Residential area, which is located at the eastern and western parts of Ap Lei Chau also consumes a significant amount of energy, about 900 MW a year. However, patterns of energy consumption change at night. Since industries do not operate at night, the energy consumption in industrial area drops drastically to nearly zero consumption, while energy consumption in residential areas also drops to half of that in day-time because human activities decrease at night. The areas with the most energy consumption turn out to be streets and roads. Street lamps, light bulbs and roadside lamp-posts are turned on to provide illumination to people. This draws a huge amount of energy.

The transmission of electricity from Lamma Island power station to Ap Lei Chau is complex. Electricity passes through a few stations for stepping up and down voltage via underground and submarine cable tunnels, as well as some overhead lines. This complicated system ensures the transmission process is safe and reduces energy loss. On the other hand, the use of underground cable system avoids destroying country parks and reduces the visual impact on environment.

Right: Dymaxion Map

Ap Lei Chau is located at the very south of Hong Kong Island. Next to the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, it has affluence seafood supply and is famous for its fresh seafood from fishing boat. In the project, our group mainly focuses on the seafood in Ap Lei Chau wet market. We have studied about the ecological footprint of seafood supply, type of seafood and the route of seafood transportation. Regarding the seafood supply, seafood in Ap Lei Chau are both imported and caught locally. There are various types of seafood being sold in the wet market, ranging from small species like clam to large species like grouper. Most of the seafood is from Hong Kong, following by China, and a small amount is imported from other countries like New Zealand. Dried seafood is also sold in some food stores near the market and most is from local.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

Since there are several seafood markets in Ap Lei Chau, the transportation routes of seafood vary from place to

place. For instance, most of the fish caught is transported to the nearby Ap Lei Chau market directly by the seafood seller using small cart. While transporting fish to a relatively far market, mini cargo trucks are used. Over all, forty percent of seafood harvested in Ap Lei Chau is sold to the local seafood restaurants while sixty percent is sold at the wet market. In the wet market, sixty percent of seafood is consumed by local residents, thirty percent is used in the cooked food center in the market and the rest is bought by non-local people. In conclusion, the ecological footprint of seafood in Ap Lei Chau is relatively small because there is not much distanced transportation of seafood to fulfill the local population. This is due to the unique seaside typology of Ap Lei Chau.

Ap Lei Chau is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. On the 1.3 km2 island lives 80,149 people. The built-area footprint is small in Ap Lei Chau. The people are densely populated in closely spaced buildings, leaving 40% of land as green belt.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

Ap Lei Chau is major composed of residential areas (27%). There are little institutional, commercial and industrial areas. This implies that there are not enough job opportunities for the residents in Ap Lei Chau. Most of them have to work or study outside the Island. Only 7% at home and 30% in the same district. The footprint of people in Ap Lei Chau may be larger than people in other sites in commuting as there is no railway station now and people have to travel by other means of transport such as buses, a longer traveling time means less energy efficient.

Hong Kong being an international city, has people coming from all over the world. In the dymaxion map we study the nationalities distribution in Hong Kong. 7.8% of people come from overseas. Not living in one’s home country may lead to a larger ecological footprint since one may go back to their home countries often by aeroplane, which emits huge amount of greenhouse gases. Although the built-area footprint is small in Ap Lei Chau, its ecological footprint is much larger than expected when we look at the population characteristics from statistics.

General effects of waste produced by country and region

With our theme on waste, ecological footprint of the aspect refers to the total area needed for waste processing by the population in the studied area, Ap Lei Chau. We started our investigation by looking into the rubbish bin distribution, collecting point location and its waste production statistics. Ranked third in the most densely populated place, its population density is 66,755 people / km². With this statistics on population, it is intriguing to compare its waste production statistics with the worldwide metropolitan cities with high population. Such statistics are shown on our diagram.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

With such a high density, appropriate number of facilities should be implemented into the place. Therefore, we looked into rubbish bin numbers and collecting points. With the analysis on the distribution of rubbish bin, the flow of human activities can also be discovered, finding that the zoned recreational area, along the shore, has a higher bin density. Indicating that many of the residents there do use the recreational facilities or it is quite frequent for the residents to go to the harbor and take ferries as transportation means.

Whilst searching for bins, we also mapped recycling bins around the community; their distribution are shown in one of the diagrams as well. Besides, recycling businesses can also be found. With our further investigation, we are told that the recycling materials will be sent to the new territories in Hong Kong, and then transport to the Mainland China for further processing. Both indicate that the people there do include recycling practices into their lifestyle. Also, we can see the distribution of different types of wastes, including domestic wastes, urban solid wastes and industrial wastes with the clear urban planning with specific usage zoned shown in one of our diagrams, All in all, it is astonishing to discover the major human activity areas from rubbish bin distribution, how recycling businesses affects people’s lifestyle there, the flow of rubbish even out of country and how a local community can be compared with other metropolitan cities around the world.

Water is the essential element in our daily lives. Every day, we drink water, wash hand, take bath etc. In this project, we mainly focus on the research of usage of water. In the local mapping, the main facilities or infrastructure that require large amount of water usage are located, also the drainage plan of delivering storm water and sewer water is shown also. Through the mapping, we can see the density of facilities or buildings which require water usage. It helps us to know the pattern of water usage. In the dymaxion map, the original production places of bottle water exported to Hong Kong are located. Through the map, we can know that France is the main source of export bottle water. In the flow chart, the procedure from clean water to dirty water is clearly shown. Every day, we switch on the water tap and we can get water, but we do not know the flow chart of water from place far away from us into our home. This is a good chance to let us know how many steps are needed to deliver the water into our house. The fourth diagram is about the comparison of water usage in different

China

facilities. This is actually a bar chart. The longest bar represents the place with highest water usage. Residential area is the place with highest water usage. It is reasonable because there are many housing estates in Ap Lei Chau. There are a lot of residents living there, therefore the water usage will be high also. The place with least water usage is cooked food market. Although cooking needs water also, but comparatively it is the least when comparing to other large-scale facilities like service reservoir and pumping station.

Right: Dymaxion Map

Nowadays, with the use of technology, energy, as crucial resource, becomes indispensable to human beings. We need energy in almost every parts of our life. There are many types of energy, which can be renewable or non-renewable. Our group will focus on non-renewable resources, as well as two environmental-friendly issues.

Next Page: 1.5 x 1.2 km Drawing

In our Mapping Drawing, we introduce two environmental-friendly issues. One of them is the GREENPLUS Energy Billboard benchmarking tool introduced by CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power) on 7 November 2012. We show the location of the main participants (7-Eleven and Sunshine Laundry Convenience Store), with yellow stars representing branches of 7-Eleven and yellow square representing the Sunshine Laundry Convenience Store. The second piece of information is about the Green buildings in Hung Hom: 1. Hong Kong Community College, Hung Hom Bay Campus (Green Building Award 2008 Merit) 2. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University - GH Podium Annex (Green Building award 2010 Merit). We use yellow rectangles to represent them respectively. The density of yellow points is quite low, which reflects that involvement of the public in energy conservation is insufficient.

In the Dymaxion Diagram, the yellow regions show the location of main oil producers. And the bar chart shows the quantity of oil production per day. As we can see, oil is concentrated in hands of a few countries, making them powerful to control world economy. In our 1st diagram, the distribution of Electricity Consumption in Hong Kong in four areas (transport, industrial use, commercial use and residential use) from 2000 to 2010 is shown. In our 2st diagram, we show the quantity of main types of energy sources used in Hong Kong (gas, oil and electricity) and the percentage usage in commercial, industrial and transporting aspects in 2010. As seen in our work, we found that energy production, extraction and consumption are great in quantity, however, the initiative of energy conservation is insufficient. As demand for non-renewable resources is high, depletion will take place one day. As users, we should be aware of this and take action to save energy, ensuring sustainability of energy sources.

The contribution of the ecological footprint is measured by using a specific food commodity, i.e. coffee, as a case study in Hung Hom. Coffee is a globalized beverage product, regarded as a luxurious and unessential product. More people nowadays enjoy consuming it, while its production and consumption shall result in generation of an enormous ecological footprint.

How exactly coffee consumption affects the ecology is shown in the second diagram. The consumption of different types of coffee could lead to a divergence in the ecological footprint creation. The impact caused by consuming a cup of cappuccino is as half a journey taken by bus from Mongkok to HKU. These examples serve to reveal the facts that the general public seldom realized of.

Different types of coffee shops could vary in their ecological footprint due to the differences in transport distances, ways of transportation, raw material importation and method of production. It is worthnoting about the density in coffee shop per kilometer in Hung Hom is much higher than the metropolitan New York due to the densely designed urban area of Hong Kong, which could also affect the mode and amount of resource consumption.

The per capita consumption of coffee in Hong Kong is relatively low among the developed regions, but it has a significant increase over the past years. The opening of more cafes and coffee shops in Hong Kong shall further show a proliferation of the consumption of coffee in Hong Kong, so as the greater creation of ecological footprint.

Transportation of the raw materials in coffee production directly affects how many resources are consumed. Through the Dymaxion map, destinations of both primary and secondary sources of coffee, which Hong Kong relies on, are shown and thus the distance between Hong Kong and these places could be effectively assessed.
