Allowing Sun Light To Enter The Two Blocks
Hall block is tilted 24 degree to east to allow penetration of sun light in to the classroom block and atrium.

Allow Wind Penetrating At Two Blocks; Bridge Linkages Connecting Two Blocks
Tilted hall block allow wider corridor to channel gentle breeze along the atrium area.

Bridge Linkages Connecting Two Blocks
Bridge linkage between two blocks was stagger to create a dialogue between different levels;
Position of bridge linkage to minimize casting of shadow on each others.

Passive Courtyard And Active Courtyard
Efficiency of L-Shaped blocks allowed sufficient open space for a passive and active courtyard cater for different activities (Pavilion - Passive Courtyard; Basketball Court - Active Courtyard).

The project involves the construction of a 30-classroom primary school which locates at Queen’s Hill, Fanling. The school is 7-storey high and comprises of 30-classrooms, 6 special rooms, student activity centre, assembly hall, library and ancillary offices.

The courtyard formed along with the adjacent school allows abundant natural lighting and ventilation.

Green Features

Site Aspects

Proximity to more than 10 different basic services and 2 recreational facilities, which improves efficiency and the quality of life, both in mental and physical aspects.
65.8% of total roof area covered by high SRI roof materials or vegetation to minimize heat island effect.
100% of relevant sub-items of the Urban Design Guidelines are archived to demonstrate a proactive approach to achieve greater integration of site planning and design issues.

Materials Aspects

Reused timber and / or certified timber is proposed to be used for temporary work, to ensure no virgin forest products to be used during construction.
Formulation and implementation of waste management plan to minimize construction waste. It is targeted that reducing construction waste by at least 30%.
37% of all materials used in site exterior surfacing work, structures and features shall be recycled materials to reduce the consumption of virgin resources.

Energy Use

More than 14% of total energy is proposed to be reduced, contributing to non-renewable energy saving and Carbon dioxide emission mitigation.
48% peak electricity demand reduction in comparison with the baseline.
Estimated 17.61MWh solar energy shall be generated by PV system annually, which is 1.99% of the Project’s total energy consumption.

Water Use

Water efficient devices will be carefully chosen to achieve over 50% annual saving in both fresh water and flushing water consumptions comparing to BEAM Plus baseline setting.

Indoor Environmental Quality

Increased outdoor ventilation rate provided for all normally occupied spaces to support the well-being and comfort of occupants.
IAQ measurements will be conducted to ensure the indoor air qualities of classrooms, offices, library and activity rooms, etc. can achieve ‘Good Class’ of HKSAR IAQ Certification Scheme.
Enough amenities provided to benefit the building users and improve operation and maintenance.

Innovations and Additions

Twin tanks provided for both potable and flushing water supply system to improve O&M efficiency.

Story

Motivation for Sustainable Design and Enhancement of Health and Well-being of Students:

The overall design and orientation of the First and Second School blocks (adjacent school) act as a pair in terms of the overall site design. The reasons for the school block layout:

Typical Standard L-Shaped School block which is able to achieve better efficient at the reduced site areas.
L-Shaped Block allow sufficient space to provide on grade courtyard and open areas. Hall block is tilted and extended to create an atrium space at the main circulation area.
Hall block is tilted 24 degree to east to allow penetration of sun light in to the classroom block and atrium.
Tilted hall block allow wider corridor to channel gentle breeze along the atrium area.
Bridge linkage between two blocks was stagger to create a dialogue between different levels.
Position of bridge linkage to minimize casting of shadow on each other.
Efficiency of L-Shaped blocks allowed sufficient open space for a passive and active courtyard cater for different activities.
Pavilion with a covered play area functions as a passive courtyard for leisure activity.
Passive courtyard serves as a buffer area between the atrium, covered playground and basketball Court.
Basketball Court functions as an active courtyard for general sport events.

Large area of green roofs help to minimize heat island effect
Light color façade materials are used that helps to minimize solar heat gain to the building mass.
