HAESCO Social

On Saturday 7th November 2009,  HAESCO invited members, family and friends for a social trip, and everyone enjoyed the junk trip with a difference.

Thanks to Mr Dominic Yin,  we were on board the AVIVA sponsored junk.  Mr. Sam Cheng (HKU) briefed the gathering about the use and application of the interesting Renewable energy technologies PV panels on the decking, and micro wind turbines used for battery charging, etc. etc.

The original lighting fittings were replaced with energy efficient LED and fluorescent lamps for illumination purposes.

Also a heat pump provides water heater and air-conditioning. This is a device that can produce over 50 degrees water for shower, cooking, cleaning and cool air for space conditioning simultaneously. It is considered as a device with high energy efficiency.  It is a new product with capability of generating instant hot water from the system and heated up by the heat energy exhausted from the operating air conditioner.

Aviva cruised gracefully across to Lamma with ease, on arrival we headed up the hill to visit the wind turbine site.  After a briefing from Mr Kwok (HKE) about the 800kw turbine,  we set off down to Yung Shue Wan for a great seafood lunch at sea-view restaurant.

Special thanks for:

- Mr. T. C. Yee and his colleagues from different departments of The Hong Kong Electric Company Limited
- Ms Joanne Chau and Mr. Max Kwok of AVIVA Life Insurance Company Limited
- Mr. Sam Cheng and Mr. Michael Leung of University of Hong Kong
- Mr. Joel Laykin and Ms Pricilla Hui of IPPF
- Ms Kandy Lui and her colleagues of FHKI

And all the participants for a great day out.
