Location: Sheung Shui, Fairview Park
"SEE Smart Energy Community" 2nd phrase research has officially commenced in Hong Kong. Residents from Sheung Shui and Fairview park are joining their counterparts from Bristol, UK, and Seoul, Korea, in this collaborative research in the upcoming year. Recently, we organized "Envisioning Workshops" in these two Hong Kong communities to collectively envision a low-carbon future and explore innovative possibilities for turning the community to become more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Solar Community VR Experience
Participants engaged in a virtual reality (VR) simulation based on the Easton community in Bristol, UK. This immersive experience allowed attendees to investigate the feasibility of solar energy installations within their community. Participants were able to select various areas on the map, assess the potential for solar installations, and estimate the projected electricity generation, thereby gaining insights into the effectiveness of solar power.
"Future Energy Community Game Cards"
Designed by the Asian Energy Studies Centre, this card game features three types of function cards that enable residents to complete three tasks while collaboratively advancing sustainable community development. Through this interactive format, participants were encouraged to collectively conceptualize a low-carbon future for their community.
Discussion Outcomes
During the workshop, participants engaged in in-depth reflection and discussions regarding future energy development:
Residents of Fairview Park emphasized the importance of fostering collaboration and innovation in energy technology to build a sustainable future energy community.
On the other hand, residents of Sheung Shui community expressed a greater focus on energy innovation, advocating for the reform of the energy system to facilitate community development.
We look forward to future opportunities for collaborative learning and envisioning, allowing community residents to actively participate in the planning and implementation of energy solutions for the future.
