Living Space and Services

Quality means “fitness for purpose”. Functional and cost-effective “No-frills Quality Housing” means creating (a) green and healthy living space for residents, (b) convenient & comfortable, (c) free from nuisance and avoiding spread of disease,

(d) receiving ample lighting & ventilation yet free from noise nuisance. DCDAcademy

42 Improving Habitable Space & Enhancing Spatial Since 2000, due to limited availability of land resources, the topography, size and configuration of housing sites, we change from Standard Block Design to Site Specific Design with Modular Flat Design.

Functional & Cost Effective Design (Quality Housing Initiatives)

1 Enhanced Buildability, Consistency and Economy of Scale 2 Better Healthy Living, Safety and Easy Maintenance 3 Focus on Customer Needs & continuous enhancement 4 Reinforcing Universal Design

DCDAcademy 4 Types of Modular Flat Design developed in 2008 with reference to the allocation standard 43 Rationalized Flat Layout

sofa / bed and TV can be located on either wall side

High Zone - Reduced by 50mm from the wall thickness in Low Zone

This arrangement enhances 2000 flexibility of furniture layout e.g. locating bunk bed, sofa, dining table etc. • Co-ordinated dimensions approach - different

flat sizes share common denominator dimension.

feedback for maintaining flexibility of furniture layout. DCDAcademy

Widen door width – • Appropriate height for lighting switch, door bell 800mm (flat entrance) and power socket 750mm (kitchen and bathroom) • Lever type sink mixer DCDAcademy • Leveled entrance

46 Improving Energy Efficiency, Saving Water & Enhancing 3.2 Healthy Improving Living Energy Efficiency, Saving Water & Enhancing Healthy Living

 Renewable Energy Installation – Grid Connected Photovoltaic System • Where feasible, we Install at the upper roof and roof on lift machine room floor, generating about 2.5% energy for the communal areas.  Energy Saving Initiative – Two level lighting design in Common Area

• Enable high efficiency lighting and saving in electricity • Implemented since 2008, we maintain a minimum lighting level for safety and security; while the manual switch integrated with the door phone handset in each domestic flat and the provision at strategic positions at the lift lobby and corridors enable the required illumination

level up to 85 lux DCDAcademy

47 Improving Energy Efficiency……

 Energy Saving Initiative – Regenerative power for lifts & Use of Permanent Magnet Gearless Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) Lift Motor • A technology that can be used to drive lift machine with probable energy saving • Trial installation has been tested successfully in Kai Ching Estate completed in 2014. From the preliminary measured results, it indicates that more than 20% of the energy consumed by lifts can be

regenerated for use by communal facilities DCDAcademy

48 …….. Saving Water & Enhancing Healthy Living  Healthy Living Initiatives &  Water Saving Initiatives Better Living Twin Water Tanks System Rainwater Harvesting System helps reduce fresh water consumption by providing filtered rainwater for irrigation. Recently, we are exploring –

(a) Root Zone Irrigation System supplies water directly to plant roots, i.e. minimizing water loss in evaporation & reducing irrigation water; and (b) Zero Irrigation Planting System.

a) In 2008, we pioneered the system to provide uninterrupted water supply to tenants when one of the compartments is being cleaned b) Direct discharge of residual waste water to waste stacks c) Less water wastage under well-planned

DCDAcademy cleansing cycle for water tanks d) Provide convenience and better hygiene condition 49 …….. Enhancing Healthy Living

 Healthy Living Initiatives & Better Living

Common W-trap System • Waste water from wash basin/shower now directed to replenish the common W-trap connected to the floor drain under the new design • Avoid drying up of water seal to prevent the spread of foul air, germs and epidemic disease between floors

• Ensure healthy living DCDAcademy
