New Development Area (NDA) project in the New Territories, including the Kwu Tung North (KTN) and Fanling North (FLN) NDA, form a core part of our multi-pronged land supply strategy in the medium and long term.

Being the largest contiguous freshwater wetland in Hong Kong, Long Valley is widely recognised for its high ecological value and environmental significance. As part and parcel of the KTN/FLN NDA project, CEDD will develop some 37 ha of land at the core area of Long Valley into a nature park for conserving and enhancing the ecologically important environment as well as for compensation of the wetland loss due to the KTN/FLN NDA development (the Long Valley Nature Park (“LVNP”)). A visitor centre will be constructed for the LVNP to help the public understand the ecological importance of Long Valley.

Green Features

Site Aspects

High solar reflectance index roof material
Well design building outline with minimum interference on wind velocity
100% achievement on relevant sub-items of Urban Design Guidelines in the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines

Materials Aspects

Adoption of recycled materials for exterior surfacing work
Adoption of air conditioning equipment with low Ozone Depletion and Global Warming Potential

Adoption of rainwater harvesting recycling facilities

Indoor Environmental Quality

Adoption of well-designed plumbing system to reduce transmission of bacteria, viruses and odors
Over 30% of increase in fresh air ventilation in normally occupied area compared with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) requirement
Over 95% of floor area in all normally occupied space achieved with an average daylight factor of 1%

Innovations and Additions

Adoption of Post Occupancy evaluation
Adoption of daylight sensors at perimeter zones
Adoption of BIM system to enhance and improve the coordination of project development

Story

LVNP VC is located just next to LVNP which is the largest contiguous freshwater wetland. Together with sensibly planned spaces based on local standards and guidelines, LVNP VC will provide quality spaces for the public to understand the ecological importance of Long Valley. To harmonize the neighborhood, it is also the intention for designing a “green” LVNP VC by adoption of a variety of green features, such as renewable energy system with the use of photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting system for water saving.
