The School

CCC Kei Wai Primary School (Ma Wan) is a 30-classroom 7-storey primary school located at Ma Wan Island. The campus was completed in 2003. There are three arrays of photovoltaic modules installed on the roof with an expected annual yield of 5600 kWh a.c. electricity. This system is supported by a research project called "Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) School Design" funded by the Innovation and Technology Commissions of the Hong Kong Government with matching sponsorship from the China Light and Power Research Institute (HK). The Faculty of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong is responsible for the system design. Real-time data of the BIPV system and the neighboring weather parameters can be accessed at the HKU Centre on Renewable Energy homepage. Information of the infrastructures can be found at: http://www.arch.hku.hk/research/schoolsBIPV/SchoolsMAWAN/BIPVmawan1.htm
