Swire Properties: Heating Energy Reduction
Swire Properties is looking to reduce the overall carbon footprint and energy consumption associated with heating systems in retail buildings within the Chinese mainland. A typical retail building located in the northern half of Chinese Mainland have an annual heating load over 80% more than its annual cooling load. While Swire Properties has implemented different solutions over the years, space heating still mainly rely on gas boilers.
Solutions could include but are not limited to:
- Biomass to heat (only if feedstock used is food waste)
- Heat Pumps/Geothermal Sourcing
Biomass to heat solutions should consider food waste as a source of biomass.
Heat pumps and other geothermal sourcing solutions must fit into the existing infrastructure and space available in retail properties.
What we are not interested in
Low carbon boilers purposed for residential solutions are out of scope, as the boiler alternative used must be able to heat retail buildings. Boilers that consume natural gas are also out of scope.
Biomass-to-heat is only of interest if there is innovation that allows food to be feedstock, as Swire Properties retail’s space primary waste is food. Solutions considering wooden pellets, and industrial and agricultural biomass for heating systems are out of scope.
Solutions that may not fit the existing system and do not consider limited land availability are out of scope (especially for heat pumps/geothermal solutions).
Solution provider must have a full-scale solution ready to pilot; innovators that focus on only certain parts of the value chain (i.e., exclusively design or implementation) are out of scope.
