am really delighted to release the second round of topical opinion survey to tap members’ view on facility-related issues of community, media and professional interest. The second topic is “Emissions Reduction” where the essence of reducing carbon footprint arising from the services is well recognized by most of our FM professionals. Given the regulation is under way to promote and secure the standard and practice to reduce emissions and pollutions, FM professionals need to consider various environmental impacts on operations and the community. Taking this opportunity, HKIFM intends to grasp the views of members of this hot topic. Please click http://www.my3q.com/go.php?url=fmc_survey/62497 and complete the questions just a few clicks within 1 minute. This is very useful for us. You can view the results by clicking http://www.my3q.com/view/viewSummary.phtml?questid=324803.For your information, the first survey findings have been reported to the CAPITAL magazine in June as part of our participation in general affair.In this issue, I am very thrilled about having our vice president, Mr Nelson Ho, to brief us on the recent development of HKIFM and his formulation of the way to promote the status of the institution in the facility market.Last, the SIDP- a 2-day international conference will be held on 29 and 30 September 2009 at Joint Professional Center. HKIFM as the organizer has invited a number of prominent local and overseas speakers to share with us the way to implement integrated design to achieving sustainability.

President’s NoteDear Members,

July is not only a special month for the HKSAR – we have the celebration of the handover and also the demonstrations, but also a very busy month for the HKIFM. The council had been working hard for more outreach to promote the Institute, and to work out better ways to enhance our membership base. Why we need to enhance our membership base? If we want to be representative, we need to widen the membership base to embrace everybody working in the Facilities Management field. Yet , the hard bit will be to safeguard the top quality of the membership of the Institute.

Our work will be more near to success if you can help by bringing in your colleagues and friend working in the FM field to your HKIFM and her functions and activities. You are contributing to the flourishment of the Institute and thus enhance the development of FM in Hong Kong.

We are looking forward to meet with you and your friends in the upcoming functions!

Very best regards,

Nelson HoVice PresidentHKIFM

FM in Creative Cluster

Program Overview:

In this seminar, the speaker will examine various trends affecting the future of Facility Management (FM) particularly in the context of a Creative Cluster and in the digital and mobile world. During the seminar, he will, as a case study, discuss Cyberport, the Flagship within the Hong Kong digital industry.

The lecture will relate to the application of FM technique in the creative industry which is now benchmarked as one of the key contributors to the future economic development of Hong Kong. The creative cluster, which synchronizes with IT advancement, demands a very high standard of FM input. The FM managers in the sector need to keep abreast of technology advancement, and to understand the ever changing needs of the occupants. The speaker will share his vision, experience and knowledge and talk about the skills in maintaining a world class facility.

Business Impact Assessment on Mandatory Implementation of the Building Energy Codes

Briefing to the Technical Taskforce

7 July 2009



Objectives of the Study

• Evaluate the coverage and requirements of the proposed legislation;

• Evaluate the potential benefits and impacts of the proposed legislation to stakeholders and society; and

• Develop compliance, mitigation and monitoring measures for the implementation of the proposed legislation.



Stakeholder View Seeking Process

• Focus group discussion sessions (FGDs)• 526 invitations were sent to various stakeholder groups, of which 69

stakeholders attended the five FGDs in mid-November 2008 to gather views and concerns on the proposed legislation.

• Face-to-Face interviews (F2Fs)• 16 F2Fs were conducted with various stakeholders (including property

developer, property management company, tenant, contractor, engineer, equipment supplier and hospital) during the Study period to discuss the impact of the proposed legislation.

• Case Studies• Case studies on new and existing buildings (including commercial

building, residential building, industrial building and hotel) were also carried out to examine the buildings and building services installations (BSIs) and the associated impacts with various stakeholders within each building type. Information collated from the case studies were also incorporated into the subsequent impact assessment task.



Key Stakeholder Groups Engaged

• Property developers• Multi or single-owned building owners• Property management companies• Tenants (such as tenants in catering, retailing industries)• E&M equipment suppliers, contractors and consultants• Recognised professional bodies• Hotels• Hospitals• Green Groups



Key Findings from Stakeholder View Seeking Process

• Availability and cost of E&M equipment: Concernswhether there is sufficient supply of BEC compliant equipment on the market and its price.

• Policy implementation: the mandatory requirementsshould be implemented in phases to facilitate compliance.

• Compliance procedure: compliance procedure should be streamlined to minimize the impacts to the stakeholders.



Key Findings from Stakeholder View Seeking Process (cont’d)

• Energy audit: Concerns about the availability of authorized engineers (AE) for energy audit; some stakeholders suggest focusing on the building services installations in the common areas; difficulties insecuring funding for energy audits (especially buildings with multiple ownerships).

• Public education: public education and promotion onthe proposed mandatory scheme should be strengthened.



Impact Assessment – Cost of Regulatory Scheme

Cost in NPV of each key stakeholder group (2009-2019), (HK$ Millions)

Total Cost to Business, in NPV (2009-2019), (HK$ Millions)



Impact Assessment – Key Findings• Total cost in NPV (2009-2019) is negative, indicating the business

impact of the policy option in the long term is positive.

• Costs will fall on the developers initially, they will eventually be passed on to the property owners and tenants, and thus the final cost to developers is very low.

• Tenants and property owners will get most of the benefits through energy savings but also ultimately pay most of the additional cost. Benefits will however outweigh costs.

• AEs, contractors and suppliers are likely to earn a profit from the scheme.

• The total cost range reflects the large number of variables involved in predicting the impact of the legislation.



Other Potential Benefits of the Mandatory Scheme

• Create job opportunities for recognised professionals in Hong Kong to become AEs under the proposed mandatory scheme;

• Promote energy efficiency and conservation and encourage the building owners to achieve good energy performance in building;

• Raise the public awareness on environmental protection through the use of energy efficient equipment/installations; and

• Avoid Hong Kong becoming or being perceived as a jurisdiction inwhich substandard equipment/installation can be sold and used.



Impact on SMEs and Compliance Difficulties

The impact assessment on SMEs concluded that: • the impact on SMEs is not significant, as many of the tenancy agreements in Hong

Kong are about 1-3 years, major retrofitting works to be carried out by SMEs or responsible persons for all floor areas in premises are unlikely to happen frequently.

• As the proposed mandatory scheme does not require mandatory retrofitting works to meet the BEC standards, SMEs will take into account cash flow issues and profit impacts before undertaking major retrofitting works.

Some issues on compliance difficulties were identified: • the schedule for completing the first round of energy audits in all existing

commercial buildings and commercial portion of composite buildings might be too tight.

• timeframe for submitting the 2nd self-declaration within four months upon receiving the occupation approval for new buildings might be difficult in some instances.



Recommended Approach

• The proposed regulatory approach will have a net benefit to Hong Kong.

• The level of benefit will depend on several factors such as design of BSIs in new buildings in future; the amount of energy savings from the use of BEC compliant equipment, etc.

• The implementation of the mandatory scheme will bring some intangible benefits to Hong Kong, however, it may create some compliance difficulties to the stakeholders and impose some cost impacts to them.



Proposed Mitigation Measures for Policy Implementation

• Use of guidelines, training workshops and public campaigns

• Financial support from the Government• Phased implementation of the legislation• A provision for extension of deadlines for 2nd self-

declarations on a case-by-case basis• Training of engineers for energy audit



Proposed Measures Prior to the Policy Implementation

• Streamline the COCR application process as far as practicable

• Develop and implement promotional campaigns• Develop grace periods for enforcement • Consult/Inform the industry on the final scheme to

be implemented
