MiMEP Three-in-one Integrated Solution to Save Cost and Enhance Efficiency
2025-10-20
The Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) approach enhances construction efficiency, quality, and safety through off-site prefabrication and modular installation, making it ideal for Hong Kong’s high-density and fast-paced development needs. This year, the EMSD further introduced the MiMEP three-in-one solution, which integrates MiMEP, open Building Information Modelling (open BIM) standards, and the Building Information Modelling–Asset Management (BIM-AM) system. This approach was applied to 24 repair, maintenance, alteration and addition (RMAA) pilot projects, achieving remarkable results. Building on our hands-on experience, we presented a proposal titled “Era of Digitalisation and Sustainability: open BIM with Asset Management for MiMEP Projects towards New Quality Productive Forces”, which earned the Grand Award in the Technology Solution Category at the Hong Kong openBIM/openGIS Awards 2025.
This three-in-one solution combines MiMEP with BIM, significantly enhancing project efficiency and management effectiveness. During the planning phase, the engineering team uses BIM to create a site environment model and simulate transportation, lifting, and assembly processes of prefabricated modules. At handover, the BIM model contains complete E&M asset information to help clients digitise asset management. Additionally, using the open BIM data format ensures smooth communication and data sharing among the engineering teams throughout construction, handover, and maintenance. This approach eliminates the need for clients to invest in multiple software licence and related training costs, helping to lower the entry barrier for using BIM.
The EMSD has implemented 24 pilot projects, including installation and replacement of various E&M systems at hospitals, sports centres, and government buildings, earning high praise from clients. Data shows MiMEP can reduce on-site installation time by about 60%, making it especially suitable for venues like hospitals that operate continuously, as it minimises disruption and enhances site safety. Additionally, the E&M equipment is pre-assembled in the factory, significantly reducing on-site assembly work and enhancing construction site safety. Combining MiMEP with BIM reduces construction errors, improves project quality, and extends equipment lifespan. The BIM-AM system helps clients clearly understand asset conditions, facilitating maintenance and lowering operational costs.
Furthermore, this three-in-one solution will promote wider adoption of BIM, encouraging more small and medium contractors to use BIM-AM and open BIM technologies, driving digital transformation in the industry and fostering the development of new quality productive forces.

Mobile Digital Solution for Easy Repair Request Management
2025-11-23
Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) has improved the repair application submission process, strengthened customer communication, and enhanced overall service efficiency by launching a new mobile application called “Client Portal”, enabling customer departments to handle repair matters more conveniently.
With the app, clients can simply submit repair requests by providing basic information, and attaching equipment photos as needed. The app also features real-time status tracking, allowing clients to monitor repair progress anytime without the need to call for updates. The app also integrates all requests, both online and offline, for centralised management and easy progress tracking.

政府在機電署總部大樓推行「太陽能發電建築先導計劃」(只有中文版本)
2025-11-05
政府在機電署總部大樓推行「太陽能發電建築先導計劃」(「先導計劃」)，相關的太陽能建築（BIPV）已完成安裝，系統正處於試運行階段。
此先導計劃將原本位於地下大堂、3樓及6至7樓的部分垂直玻璃幕牆，改造成能夠自行發電的環保裝置，更能實現以下效益：
✨ 阻擋陽光，節省空調用電，環保又省錢
✨ 發電減碳，有助應對氣候變化
✨ 保持透光，在享受舒適環境的同時，仍可欣賞窗外風景
✨ 美觀實用，完美融合於建築設計
香港商業高樓大廈林立，不僅是天台，整幅玻璃幕牆也具備發電潛力。BIPV正是打造綠色城市的方案！

Hong Kong Energy End-use Data 2025
2025-10-20
At EMSD, we compile data on the use of energy in Hong Kong and publish the publication "Hong Kong Energy End-use Data" which is available free to anyone. The publication covers energy consumption data of the different fuel types and the specific purposes for which they are consumed, e.g. air conditioning, lighting, cooking, etc. The data provides an understanding of the energy consumption patterns and usages, and arouses public interest and concern over the future development of energy in Hong Kong. Additionally, the information provides the Government with the basis to formulate and evaluate energy efficiency policies.
