Existing Buildings – Facilities Management Grand Award
MOKO – Green Management
As a landmark site constructed by Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited in 1997 and managed by Kai Shing Management Services Limited, MOKO (新世紀廣場) strives to provide a supreme quality of green property management services to all stakeholders. The team is committed to sustainable development through the use of innovative green technologies, air quality improvements, energy savings, waste reduction and recycling. These efforts have been recognised by various high-profile awards and accolades, especially in regard to energy saving and green building solutions.
The GBA 2021 Jury Panel stated that the facilities management at MOKO is a scintillating showcase of energy retrofitting that has effectively reduced energy consumption as well as carbon emissions in a relatively aged multi-complex building. Besides applauding the success of its energy retrofit, the Panel also praised MOKO for its foresight in sustainably developing the building. Its green building features are complemented with sustainable policies, which incentivise shop tenants to reuse existing fixtures.
