綠色校園
科大自創校時起，已採用有利環境保護的措
施，包括節能設計、室內空氣質素改善、廢棄
物管理、循環利用、及美化校園等。
在對新建樓宇及大學整體運作進行全盤檢討
後，科大發起減少校園「碳足跡」（排碳）活
動，結合現有的各項環保計劃，不僅可節省資
源，更能落實建立綠色校園。
科大透過節能合約，每年可節省能源費用600
萬港元，減少碳排放量3,200噸。兩座校園建
築物獲政府IAQ認證計劃評為「優等」，全港
獲此榮譽的樓宇只有28幢。
科大全體師生積極參與健康安全及環境事務處
發起的有機農業計劃，這項活動獲得校園設施
管理處、教職員協會及學生（環境）興趣小組
的鼎力支持。該計劃並採用科大廢物堆填設備
製作的肥料，令有機耕種收穫更豐。
OUR GREEN CAMPUS
Since its inception, the University has adopted policies conducive to
environmental protection, including initiatives in energy conservation,
indoor air quality (IAQ), waste management, recycling and enhancing
the natural beauty of the campus.
A more holistic review of the sustainability of new buildings and the
University’s operations as a whole has been initiated with the aim of
reducing its carbon footprint. This is in addition to current programs
which offer financial savings coupled with good environmental
protection practice.
Energy performance contracts have reduced consumption by
$6 million annually and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 3,200
tonnes a year. Two campus buildings are among only 28 in Hong
Kong awarded an “excellent” rating under the Government’s IAQ
certification scheme.
Staff and students have proved keen to take part in an organic
farming program launched by the Health, Safety and Environment
Office with support from the Facilities Management Office, the Staff
Association and the Student Environmental Interest Group.
Yields were good, thanks in part to fertilizers made from the University’s
waste composting equipment.
