Design Principles
To achieve the goal of Advancing Net Zero, the toilet adopts "4Rs" design principles, namely "Renew," "Replace," "Recycle," and "Reduce."
Design Principles
Renew
"Renew: The opportunities of renewable energy harvest is maximised through the installation of 10% transparent southward-sloping PV panels on the roof of the toilet cubicles which lets in natural lighting to reduce the use of artificial lighting, and ultra-violet light to disinfect and keep dry the interior space."
Renew
Replace
"Replace: Conventional construction method is replaced by Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) which requires minimal in-situ works and incurs lower embodied carbon footprint. This also greatly reduces the generation of construction waste and minimises nuisance to the local environment during the construction."
Replace
Recycle
"Recycle: The consumption of precious natural resources is cut down as far as possible by the use of recycled materials for the construction works, e.g. pulverized fuel ash (PFA) concrete, yard wood waste, local boulders, etc."
Recycle
Reduce
"Reduce the consumption of construction materials, water and electricity by: 1) Optimizing the structural design to reduce the use of steel; 2) Using water-saving fixtures, such as vacuum toilets and water-saving faucets; 3) Utilizing natural lighting by installing 10% transparency PV panels; 4) Installing smart sensors to control the on/off of various fixtures and equipment on an as-needed basis."
Reduce
Advancing Net Zero
With the adoption of "4Rs" design principles, Lai Chi Wo Eco-Smart Public Toilet is Hong Kong's first-ever building to achieve the Advancing Net Zero standards defined by the World Green Building Council.
