Perched above 27 tower blocks, the 13 eight-metre high turbines manifest Hong Kong\u2019s potential in renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>In February, the low-density development designed by Wong Tung and Partners was certified BEAM Plus Gold in a final assessment by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC). Since its completion in 2017, the 680-unit property has been critically acclaimed and collecting accolades from PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, BCI Asia, and more. Beyond its wind energy generators, Mount Pavilia won over sustainability assessors with its efficient water recycling systems and its 340,000 square feet of landscaped areas by Hong Kong architecture firm Adrian L. Norman, the latter leaving room for urban farming systems, including aquaponics and hydroponics.<\/p>\n<p>The 66,800-square-metre brownfield site used to be a mix of scattered farmland and storage yards, hemmed in by a country park and Tai Po Tsai, an indigenous village. Powerful winds sweeping the area were a major factor in the selection of the land, according to Dr. Tony Lam, associate director of Building Sustainability at Arup, the project\u2019s sustainability engineer. The site sits in a 10- to 25-metre wind corridor by Clear Water Bay, and an airflow study on wind availability by Arup affirmed the location ideal \u201cin terms of the height of the wind turbines,\u201d informs Lam.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4567\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4567\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-6-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Pavilia\u2019s rooftop turbines generate enough wind energy to light up the development\u2019s common areas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each turbine, which took a week to install and involved closing off the entire construction site, harnesses 3,000 kilowatts of wind energy\u2014enough to power the main lobby and common areas. For such an atypical project in Hong Kong, Lam relates his firm went through a rigorous selection process for the specific product. Factors such as \u201cnoise, safety, and the moving speed of the turbines\u201d were specified among the requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Complementing the development\u2019s wind power capacity are various solar power generators. Sitting below the turbines, solar panels covering 80 square metres have a combined capacity of 12,000 kilowatts. Solar power generators in the clubhouse can heat 4,000 litres of water, while solar-powered lamps line the streets. Any surplus in renewable energy is stored in a battery system that connects to the grid during times of need. \u201cSometimes the wind is not so steady, so we would want to have a battery to store the energy and output more stable power,\u201d explains Lam.<\/p>\n<p>Given all these, the 98,200-square-metre residential component of Mount Pavilia is estimated to offer nearly 14 percent in energy savings against local building code standards.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4568\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-5-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greenery covers more than 40 percent of Mount Pavilia, with intermittent breaks between residential buildings to facilitate air movement. Wastewater, converted into usable water through an onsite treatment plant, as well as rainwater are used for irrigation and flushing, keeping water savings high<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The high winds in the area make it possible for Mount Pavilia to uphold passive energy design adhering to the WELL Building Standard. The interiors are luminous sans the solar heat gain, thanks to sun-shading fins. At least 55 percent of the space receives at least 300 lux of sunlight for at least half the year.\u00a0 All seven buildings in the development feature large windows, facilitating natural ventilation. During mid-season and winter in Hong Kong, residents can simply open their windows to let the cool breeze in.<\/p>\n<p>Therein lies the rub, points out Lam. In Hong Kong where water and electricity are not so expensive, people tend to not be sustainable-minded. \u201cShopping malls and offices can get so cold [because of the air-conditioning]. We need to educate people that even without using much energy, we can still enjoy comfortable areas,\u201d he says, adding there is a need for more projects like Mount Pavilia \u201cto get people to [realise] the sustainable lifestyle can be [as simple as not] using the air-conditioning every day or turning on all the lights.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We need to educate people that even without using much energy, we can still enjoy comfortable areas. There\u2019s a need to get people to [realise] the sustainable lifestyle can be [as simple as not] using the air-conditioning every day or turning on all the lights<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For all its noble intentions, Mount Pavilia did not escape government scrutiny. For one, the installation of its turbines led to building height surpassing the ridge line of nearby mountains. \u201cIt exceeded the height limit of the development. We needed to show an assessment report to the government stating how we wanted to produce green power to help the environment, [and to do this, we needed] this kind of height for the installation,\u201d relates Lam.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4569\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4569\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Pavilia has a unique sculptural park showcasing pieces from such artists as Gao Wei Gang, Kum Chi Keung, Tatian Trouve and Jean-Michel Othoniel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The developer also encountered the same bureaucratic hurdle with the water treatment systems. According to Francis Lai, project manager at New World, \u201cThe government didn\u2019t know how to assess the system at first. This kind of system is very valuable because we do not need to spend available water for irrigation\u2014we simply recycle the water. The problem was that the government needed to know the quality of the water\u2014they were talking about the hygiene, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wind and water systems eventually won over the authorities. \u201cThe water services department of the government quite like our water recycling system,\u201d reports Lai. The grey water collected every day from residents is used to drip-irrigate landscaped areas around the site. They encompass a traditional terrestrial urban farm where tomatoes, herbs, and other crops are grown.<\/p>\n<p>Water is a governing feature in the property\u2019s urban farm, driven by a system of aquaponics and hydroponics that pushed its Innovation score in the BEAM Plus ranking. The system plays a twist on the lucky koi ponds common in Chinese households. The koi\u2019s excretions in the aquaponic pool, which at first glance looks like an impractical water feature, supply nutrition to the hydroponic plants, which then filter the water for the fishes in one harmonious cycle. Produce from the farming systems go to the development\u2019s restaurant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4570\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-7.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The aquaponics system at Mount Pavilia is the first to have been integrated into a residential development in Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Property managers, however, need to ensure balance is achieved between productivity of the hydroponic crops and water clarity. Says Lam, \u201cAquaponics can be very productive. If our target is to produce the vegetables, and we allow a high density of fish in the pond, it will make the water so green and not so tidy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is left to waste in Mount Pavilia. Reverse vending machines are available for residents to put in empty plastic bottles and cans in exchange for instant discount coupons. Food waste is regularly collected and put through digesters, converting them into compost for planting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/green-up-time-for-asias-polluted-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Green-up time for Asia\u2019s polluted cities<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The estimated 600 families in the development also have spacious balconies in their individual units, where they may opt to grow full-blown gardens in place of ornamental plants; seeds may be procured from property management.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Pavilia sought to avoid greenwashing from the get-go. BEAM Plus certification frameworks guided the construction process, with care taken to discharge wastewater into manholes after silt removal and pH adjustment, deliver unused timbers to another site, and routinely spray water for dust suppression.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4571\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mount-Pavilia-for-web-154-4-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of Mount Pavilia&#8217;s furnished units with wide viewing balconies, where one can enjoy 270-degree views<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike most of Hong Kong, Mount Pavilia is hardly a paved paradise. Approximately 1,000\u00a0trees across 38 species are within the property, while over 300,000\u00a0shrubs, ground covers, climbers, and ornamental grass representing 200 species add lushness. \u201cWe can see animals and small insects around the property because we have plants that attract them back to the site, meaning we maintained the diversity of the original site,\u201d ends Lam.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s yet another example of how the development is putting nature to the fore in one of the world\u2019s most hectic urban jungles.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in
