[Archive] Premises Information – Second School Allocation Exercise 2013

According to the Housing Department, the air-conditioning (A/C) provision for commercial/ non-domestic premises, including kindergarten premises, in Kai Tak Development Area will be fed by a District Cooling System ("DCS") managed by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department ("EMSD").  Installation of electrical air-conditioners will be prohibited in these premises.   The kindergarten premises are provided with chilled water pipes only and the tenants will be required to provide their own Air Handling Unit rooms, if necessary.  The A/C charges consist of two components - minimum charges, and consumption charges.  The minimum charges covers (i) the operation and maintenance cost of DCS installed by EMSD, and (ii) operation and maintenance cost as well as electricity cost of the A/C system installed by Hong Kong Housing Authority. The minimum charges would be about $16,711 and $16,256 per month for the KG premises at Kai Ching Estate and Tak Long Estate respectively.  For A/C consumption charges, the estimated charges are about $0.6 - $1.8 per m² per hour.  The actual amount depends on the actual consumption of chilled water in these KG premises.  Successful applicants should refer to the relevant clause in the Tenancy Agreement on the air-conditioning charges.  The minimum charges and consumption charges quoted are subject to revision by EMSD and Hong Kong Housing Authourity.  The adjustment in these charges, if any, will take effect from a date as notified by HKHA.  For enquiries about DCS, please contact Mrs Lancy Wong or Mr Lau Kam-biu of the Housing Department at 2794-5373 or 2794-5356 respectively.
