Feasibility study of developing a zero-carbon-emission Green Deck in Hong Kong

Abstract

This study examines the feasibility of utilizing renewable energy power generation technology to developing a zerocarbon-emission Green Deck. The power consumption of the deck, including lighting, ventilation and airconditioning, is firstly estimated. Then the potential of solar photovoltaic (PV) module installation in roof and vertical facade is evaluated through simulation and theoretical calculation, demonstrating that it is highly possible to achieve the target of net-zero-energy consumption and zero carbon emission. Furthermore, the economic feasibility of the proposed PV system on the Green Deck has been studied.
