“In this project, we have investigated the potential of solar and wind power generations and the energy consumption of the proposed Green Deck project, and evaluated the economic feasibility and environmental benefit of PV installation on this deck. Given that wind speed is too low for economic power generation in this urban area with high-rise buildings, wind power is not recommended. Therefore, two schemes for PV installation are proposed in this study. If the PV panels can only be installed above the deck, it can supply 66% of energy for the deck (Scheme 1). If the roofs or facades of other buildings developed together with the deck are allowed for PV installation, it can meet 100% of energy consumption of the deck (Scheme 2). It is highly possible to achieve a ‘net-zero-energy consumption’ deck. To develop a real “green” deck, it is proposed to use the Scheme 2. In addition, this proposal of using renewable energy on the deck is evaluated to be economically feasible after considering future tariff increase and environmental factors.”--PolyU IRA
