Building Types Commercial - Hotel & Hostel/Apartment
Description of the building:
The Langham Hong Kong, established in 1989, is a five-star neoclassical landmark in Tsim Sha Tsui, featuring 498 rooms that harmonize European elegance with Asian contemporary design. Its crown jewel is a rooftop infinity pool offering panoramic Victoria Harbour vistas, complemented by the Chuan Spa's holistic therapies rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.

Retrofitted initiative:

Swimming pool heating system:
  • Installation of new water-source heat pumps to replace pool heaters which were in use for the warm water pool.
  • Source-side chilled water provided to HVAC system for assisted air cooling to boost system-wide performance and energy efficiency.


Observed benefits other than energy saving:

  • Stable supply of warm water to swimming pool.
  • Smooth operation of heating system.
  • More information for system monitoring and control.


General observations of the retrofitting project:

  • Warm water swimming pool was totally unaffected throughout the entire retrofit period.
  • Minimal disturbance of approx. 3-4 hours was caused to the HVAC system for the interfacing of water circuits during the retrofit in Autumn.
