港珠澳大橋香港口岸是位於香港國際機場東北面一個面積約一百五十公頃的人工島上的跨境設施。自2018年10月24日營運起,它是到大灣區的重要連接通道。
港珠澳大橋香港口岸 – 消防局及救護站位處於香港口岸的南方,為一幢兩層高的建築物,旁邊設有一幢八層高的消防訓練塔。此消防局及救護站為香港口岸及港珠澳大橋香港段周邊提供滅火、救援及救護服務。
As the Government's initiative to encourage the construction of green buildings in Hong Kong, the then Environment, Transport and Works Bureau technical circular (Works) (the TCW) requires all works departments to adopt energy efficient features and renewable energy technologies in government projects and installations wherever practicable. Under the TC(W), all new government buildings with construction floor area exceeding 10,000 square metres should aim to obtain at least the second highest grade under an internationally or locally recognized building environmental assessment system. The Fire Station Cum Ambulance Depot was enrolled in the local Hong Kong Green Building Council BEAM Plus scheme with target gold grading which is the second highest grading under the BEAM Plus scheme although the building GFA is less than threshold of 10,000 m2.
The Government’s policy was a strong driver in the planning and design stages of the Fire Station Cum Ambulance Depot. The installation of island-wide green facilities (e.g. District Seawater Cooling System and Reclaimed Water System) has brought significant environmental benefits to all HKP users. The use of District Seawater Cooling System consumes less electrical energy and minimizes greenhouse gases and contaminants to the environment. The use of Reclaimed Water System for flush water supply does not only save water but also reduce the amount of treated effluent being discharged to the adjacent water body and thus benefits the North Western Water Control Zone water quality.
Since the Fire Station Cum Ambulance Depot’s commissioning, government officers working at the building have been benefited from the well-designed indoor air, acoustic, thermal and lighting quality.
