Towngas Headquarters has been effectively operating with various sustainability features:
Towngas Telecom (TGT) Data Centre
We have attained green building certifications Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for our data centres in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland.
The TGT Hong Kong Data Centre 2 began operational in 2014. The building was granted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, The United States Green Building Council’s world-renowned green building recognition. The environmental features of the building include: a solar panel system on the rooftop for renewable energy; an oil-free chiller for energy saving and noise mitigation; a green wall and green roof to reduce heat absorption from the building, and thus reduce the cooling load; a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and toilet flushing, etc. The data centre is also equipped with gas absorption chiller that utilises landfill gas from the nearby Tseung Kwan O South East New Territories (SENT) landfill gas site for space cooling, turning waste into energy.
