HONG KONG ENERGY AUDIT SERVICES | ENERGY SAVING PROJECT

Hong Kong Energy Audit (HKEA) has a team of professional engineers and registered energy assessors responsible for providing energy audit services to clients in need. We prepare energy audit reports for building owners or stakeholders and offer energy-saving solutions. This not only helps buildings comply with legal requirements but also aims to lower overall electricity consumption, reduce operational costs, and achieve energy-saving and emission reduction targets.

Since the full implementation of the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance on September 21, 2012, new buildings and existing buildings undergoing "major retrofitting works" must ensure that their building services and installations meet the minimum energy efficiency standards and design requirements outlined in the Building Energy Efficiency Code.

In August 2023, amendments to the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance were proposed (pending approval), which stipulate that owners or stakeholders of thirteen categories of buildings and data centers must conduct an energy audit every five years for four types of relevant "central building services installations."

Hong Kong Energy Audit (HKEA) provides compliant energy audit services carried out by a professional team of engineers and registered energy efficiency assessors. Building owners or stakeholders can improve and reduce the overall electricity consumption of their buildings through energy audit reports and our energy-saving engineering recommendations, thereby lowering operational costs and enhancing sustainability.
