Disney generates 2.36 million kWh of solar power annually

Hong Kong Disneyland said that it has started the solar power generation system project as early as 2018, and completed the first three phases last year. It is currently the largest solar power generation system in Hong Kong. The total electricity consumption of the household in a year.

At present, more than 5,200 solar panels have been installed on the rooftops of 21 buildings in the resort, including recreational facilities and logistics buildings, with a total area that can cover 1.5 standard football fields.

Among them, about 1,200 solar panels were installed on the rooftop of the amusement facility "Little World".

Mobile App for real-time monitoring of solar power generation system

After the completion of the first three phases, the park also plans to identify other suitable sites, hoping to continue to develop solar power generation systems to increase power generation.

The solar panel adopts a new wireless real-time monitoring system, which can monitor the operation, performance and usage of each piece through a mobile phone program to ensure the stability of the system.

The solar power generation system has also been recognized by the government and the industry. It has won the Model Award and Best Material in the "2019 Model Solar Photovoltaic System Installation Election" of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and the "Renewable Energy Award" of the CLP "Innovative and Energy-saving Enterprise Awards 2020" Outstanding prize.

Switching to LED lights saves 2 million kWh of electricity every year

In terms of energy saving, Hong Kong Disneyland also pointed out that it will actively replace the old lighting with LED lights, including the daily lighting in the logistics location and the stage lighting in the park, which can save 2 million kWh of electricity every year, which is equivalent to 700 three-person families a year. total electricity consumption.

Hong Kong Disneyland has also upgraded the sensors of the air-conditioning system in hotel rooms, adding an intelligent central control system, and connecting the hotel room management system. For example, when there are no guests in the room, the system will activate a more energy-saving mode.

In addition, Hong Kong Disneyland also uses light sensors and user sensors, and the electric motors of the hotel's water pump, air conditioning system and compressed air system use frequency conversion devices to reduce power consumption.

Recycled more than 540 tons of green waste last year

Hong Kong Disneyland also pointed out that in the past year, a total of more than 540 tons of green waste were recycled.

Since there are more than 10,000 trees in the park, and the daily maintenance and pruning are blown down during the annual wind season, green waste is generated. Therefore, since 2017, the gardening department has used wood chippers to turn the waste into wood chips for recycling.

As for the resort, the green waste is processed into organic mulch and re-laid on the soil of the flowerbeds, which not only reduces the load on the landfill, but also saves the cost of maintenance of civil engineering.

At the same time, wood chips also provide organic food for the growth of microorganisms under the soil to achieve soil symbiosis.
