Centennial Campus – Phase I & II
The University of Hong Kong

The Centennial Campus of The University of Hong Kong is a major academic development with a total gross floor area of approximately 85,000 sq.m., designed to support advanced teaching, research, and campus life. The project incorporates large‑scale building services systems, including a total cooling capacity of 4,500 TR and 15 units of 1.5 MVA transformers.
A wide range of sustainable engineering strategies were integrated, including chilled water thermal storage, waste heat recovery, low‑energy displacement ventilation, renewable energy applications, and grey water recycling. The project demonstrates a holistic approach to energy efficiency, environmental performance, and long‑term campus operation.
The 75,000 m2 development of the centennial campus incorporates varies sustainable designs such as : chilled water storage system, waste heat recovery for hot water supply, application of VSD, low energy displacement AC system, night air purging, heat wheel, low energy lighting and control system, grey water recycling, wind turbine, photovoltaic panels, solar absorption cooling, etc.
Key Engineering Highlights:
•Large-scale central cooling and electrical infrastructure for high academic demand
•Comprehensive integration of sustainable and low-energy building services systems
•Engineering solutions supporting long-term campus operation and resilience
