Veolia designed, built and operates Hong Kong's first district cooling system (DCS) in Kai Tak
Veolia designed, built and operates Hong Kong's first district cooling system (DCS) in Kai Tak
In service since 2013, the Kai Tak DCS uses seawater as the heat rejection medium to refrigerate the water at the central plants. It then distributes the chilled water via an underground pipe network to non-residential buildings in the district.
This large-scale DCS, which provides air-conditioning services to an area of over 320 hectares, is highly energy efficient compared to traditional air conditioning systems. It delivers major savings in electricity generation, carbon emissions, capital investment and space.
