The Education University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2024-2025 48 Towards an Inclusive and Sustainable Community 邁向共融與可持續的社群 Sustainability on Campus and Beyond Sustainability is central to EdUHK’s operational ethos. Our campus has achieved notable milestones in reducing environmental impact through a comprehensive decarbonisation roadmap, emphasising energy efficiency, renewable energy, and resource conservation. In 2024-2025, photovoltaic systems increased renewable energy generation by 13.31%, while per capita electricity and water consumption decreased by 11.27% and 9.23%, respectively. To promote low-carbon transportation, we have expanded our electric vehicle charging infrastructure, now providing charging stations in approximately half of our indoor parking spaces, to encourage cleaner commuting options. We are also committed to waste reduction; for example, the deployment of smart recycling bins, incentivised by a points system, has improved resource recovery efforts. Our sustainability initiatives extend beyond energy and waste management: we go further through our research and education efforts. Between June 2024 and February 2025, a research team, led by Professor Ho Wing-kei, Head of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies and Dr Deng Wenjing, Associate Professor of the Department of Science, and Environmental Studies, conducted a pioneering study examining harmful airborne substances in schools in the Chinese Mainland and Belgium, and travelled to Sri Lanka to conduct educational and promotional activities related to indoor air quality, and disseminate their research findings overseas. EdUHK’s research team is the first in Hong Kong to detect endocrine-disrupting chemicals and bacteria in school environments. The study identified indoor air pollutants and educated over 5,000 students, 100 teachers, and 20 environmental officers through workshops and STEM activities held in local primary and secondary schools. 校園內外 推動可持續發展 可持續發展是教大營運理念的核心。我們透過推行全面 減碳路線圖，著力提升能源效能、採用可再生能源及節 能措施，在減低對環境造成影響方面取得顯著成效。二 零二四至二零二五年度，校園光伏系統將可再生能源發 電量提升了13.31%，而人均用電及耗水量則分別減少 11.27%及9.23%。 為推廣低碳運輸，我們擴充了校內的電動車充電設施， 目前約有半數室內停車位已配備充電樁，以鼓勵師生選 擇更環保的通勤方式。我們亦致力於減廢，例如在校內 設置配備積分獎賞系統的智能回收箱，提升資源回收的 成效。 我們的可持續發展舉措不止於能源及廢物管理範疇，更 通過研究與教育工作向縱深推進。二零二四年六月至二 零二五年二月期間，由科學與環境學系系主任何詠基教 授及副教授鄧文靖博士帶領的研究團隊，開展了一項開 創性的研究，檢測中國內地及比利時學校中的有害空氣 物質。團隊更親赴斯里蘭卡，進行與室內空氣質素相關 的教育及推廣工作，並將研究成果向海外發佈。教大研 究團隊是全港首個在學校環境中檢測出內分泌干擾化學 物質和細菌的科研小組，不僅有效識別了室內空氣污染 物，亦透過在本地中小學舉辦工作坊及STEM活動，向 逾五千名學生、一百位教師及二十名環保官員普及了相 關知識。 To promote the use of clean energy on campus, we have installed solar panels to suitable areas and equipped some 50% of the indoor parking spaces with 13A chargers 為促進校園潔淨能源的使用，教大已在合適的地點加裝太陽能發電板，並為約半數的室內泊車位安裝13A充電器
