Overview of Fu Fai House
(Computer rendering for illustration only, complete works may
subject to adjustments.)

2. Special features of building design
Fu Fai House is situated at the site of the former Sheng Kung Hui Kei Sum Primary School
within Fu Shan Estate in Wong Tai Sin, comprising one site-specific public rental housing (PRH)
domestic block with three wings ranging from 27 to 34 storeys. The project will provide 754
flats for about 2 000 tenants.
The building disposition is well connected and harmonises with the existing Fu Shan Estate,
a PRH estate, and King Shan Court, a Home Ownership Scheme court. The domestic block is
themed with hill and city views.
Noise mitigation measures are adopted in the design. Such measures include the domestic
block set back from Fung Shing Street and acoustic fins installed for some flats facing Fung
Shing Street. The domestic block is non-standard design with open corridors, which allows
natural sunlight and cross ventilation at typical floors. Separation from the existing buildings,
streets and adjoining boundary are in accordance with the microclimate study to achieve
adequate naturally ventilated corridors and environmental comfort. An environmental study of
microclimate and sun-shadowing has been conducted by a building environmental consultant
at the design stage. The findings from the study are satisfactory.
Landscaped open spaces with an aggregate green ratio of 20% of the site area are
provided to create a better living environment. Various kinds of play equipment and ball
courts are available for tenants of different ages.
A Special Child Care Centre is located on G/F, an Early Education Centre and a Day Care
Centre for the Elderly are located on 1/F of Fu Fai House. For convenience of tenants and
other users, an elevated walkway with a ramp is provided as barrier free access from Fung
Shing Street to the social welfare facilities and the public open space. A new lift tower and
covered walkway system are designed with other facilities within Fu Shan Estate to provide
connectivity and integration of Fu Fai House. Facilities of barrier free access such as
multi-sensory maps, disable ramps and tactile guide paths are provided, to give directions
and accessibility to major facilities.
Simple and refreshing colours are used on the external walls of the domestic block to match
with the natural environment. Different wings of typical floors of the domestic block have
adopted different colours such as blue, green and orange to give the tenants a clearer
sense of direction and orientation.

3. Environmental and green features
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) has introduced and launched a number of novel,
practical low-carbon and energy saving initiatives in its new public housing estates to
enhance environmental awareness, energy efficiency, greening and landscaping, waste
management, water conservation, material usage and hazardous materials management.
Motion Sensor Two-level Lighting

Control System
3.1 Environmental features

The following environmental features have been adopted in this development:
3.1.1 Twin Tanks for Fresh and Flush Water Supply System
Twin Tanks are adopted for the system of the domestic block. When one
of the roof water tanks is emptied for cleaning, the other water tank will
remain in use and maintain uninterrupted water supply. Tenants are
benefited and water wastage can be avoided.
3.1.2 Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting

LED bulkheads are installed in most of the common areas of the domestic
block. LED lighting is known for its high energy efficiency and long life.
3.1.3 Grid Backup Solar-powered Lighting

Lamp pole lighting with photovoltaic panels and grid backup are installed
in the outdoor area for promoting environmental awareness among tenants.
Solar energy absorbed in the daytime will be converted into electricity and
be stored for use in adjacent lighting at night.
3.1.4 Indoor Communal Lighting Control

Motion sensors and photocell controls are provided for the control of
lighting at staircase areas. When people enter the staircase area, the
lighting equipped with motion sensors will be turned on automatically.

When there is sufficient natural light, the lighting equipped with photocell
control will be turned off automatically to save energy.
The Refuse Storage and Material Recovery Room (RS&MRR) is provided
all the time with basic illumination. When people enter RS&MRR,
the lighting equipped with motion sensors will be turned on automatically to
elevate the illumination level inside the room to the required level for a
pre-set period of time.
3.1.5 Two-level Lighting Control System

The system consists of a set of all time powered lighting to provide an
illumination level of about 30 lux for corridors and staircases, and about
50 lux for lift lobbies in the domestic block. An additional set of lighting
could be switched on manually by people with special needs to raise
the illumination level of the designated areas to about 85 lux for a
pre-set period of time.
3.1.6 Lift Regenerative Power Provision
The power provision is adopted in the lift system of the domestic block.
When a lift car is ascending with light loading or descending with heavy
loading, the lift motor can regenerate electricity for re-use via the power
supply system to save energy.

3.1.7 Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) Water Saving Devices
WELS Grade 1 shower head and WELS Grade 2 mixer are installed at kitchens
and bathrooms of the domestic block to reduce the consumption of
potable water.

3.1.8 Water-efficient-type Water Closets
Water-efficient-type dual-flush water closets which provide options of
half-flushing and full-flushing volume are installed at bathrooms of the
domestic block to reduce the consumption of flush water.
3.1.9 Smart Meter Monitoring and Energy Information Display System (SMM&EIDS)
A display panel of SMM&EIDS is installed at the entrance lobby of the domestic
block to display household average electricity, water and gas consumption data
of the block; in order to raise the awareness of tenants on energy consumption
conditions and to promote energy and resources saving.

Precast elements such as façades, stairs and semi-slabs are incorporated
into the domestic block to enhance construction quality and efficiency.
3.2.3 Covered Walkway

Covered walkway linking domestic block entrances and major facilities are
built for pedestrian comfort especially during adverse weather.
3.2.4 Site Coverage of Greenery

In order to improve the environmental quality of the urban space, particularly
at the pedestrian level, and to mitigate the heat island effect, a site coverage
of greenery of 20% is achieved in this estate.
3.2.5 Timber from Sustainable Sources for All Timber Doors

All timber doors are made of timber from sustainable forests, thus conserve
valuable forests and the ecosystem.
3.3 Other design features
The following design features have been added to this development:
3.3.1 Universal Design

The design approach works for all tenants of different ages. All domestic flats
and common areas are designed with barrier-free access, manifesting our
consideration of convenience and safety aspects to meet diverse needs of our
tenants.

Decoration Handbook
1. What is the Decoration Handbook?
1.1 We welcome you to be the tenant of the public rental housing (PRH) flat under the HA.
Please read this Decoration Handbook carefully prior to planning decoration works in
your PRH flat.

necessary and if alteration or replacement of floor tiling is required, tenants
should make an application to the Office in advance. The works should be
carried out in accordance with the corresponding conditions of approval.
5.1.5 Tenants should not use materials that are too heavy for the flooring of the living
room and bedroom(s). The total thickness of floor tiles and screeding in the
kitchen and bathroom should not exceed 70mm. In other parts of the flat, such
thickness should not exceed 40mm. According to the prevailing Building (Minor
Works) Regulation administered by the Buildings Department, floor screeding of
not more than 25mm thick measured from the structural floor level is generally
not subject to control under the Minor Works Control System. For floor screeding
of more than 25mm thick, the relevant works should be carried out under the
System.
15
5.1.6 Fixtures of a PRH flat, including doors, metal gatesets, windows, sanitary
fitments, kitchen sinks, cooking benches, interior and external fresh water pipes
and drains provided by the HA, are classified into Categories A, B and C
according to their suitability for alterations:
(A) Category A fixtures

No alterations are permitted as this kind of alterations generally poses
safety/health hazards or contravention of statutory requirements. Tenant’s
applications for alterations shall be rejected.
(B) Category B fixtures

Permitted only with the HA’s prior approval and subject to the compliance of
conditions of approval.
(C) Category C fixtures

No HA approval is required for alterations.
Tenants should be responsible for future maintenance, replacement and

reinstatement of all the alterations. Categorisation of landlord’s fixtures is
displayed on the notice board of the Office for tenants’ information.
5.1.7 Renovation of partition walls in PRH flats should be carried out in the manner
prescribed in item 5.3.4 of this handbook or by the Office, and is subject to
control under the Minor Works Control System.
5.1.8 No nailing or drilling is allowed within the designated areas on the precast or in
situ walls from the electrical accessories (e.g. switches, sockets and consumer
units) to the ceiling so as to protect the electric wires in the conduits from being
pierced (“Indicative Details of Installations on Wall (1)” and “Indicative Details of
Installations on Walls (2)” on pages 49 to 50 of Annex 2 refer). If unavoidable,
tenants should give full consideration before the works commence, and ensure
that the location and depth of the nail or screw are appropriate to avoid
damaging the conduit and in contact with the wire, which may be hazardous.
Under normal circumstances, the depth of penetration of the nails or screws
should not be more than 30mm (“Indicative Details of Installations on Wall (1)”
and “Indicative Details of Installations on Wall (2)” on pages 49 to 50 of
Annex 2 refer).
16
5.1.9 No nailing or drilling should be allowed on the 500-to-650-mm-wide designated
areas of the consumer unit on partition wall or concrete wall (the illustration
shown in the “Indicative Details of Installations on Wall (3) (Consumer Unit)” on
page 51 of Annex 2 refers).
5.1.10 Tenants should not change the colour of paint on the walls outside the PRH flat
and its entrance door to maintain a uniform appearance.
5.1.11 All air-conditioners and their supporting frames shall be installed inside the
provided air-conditioner hoods (item 6.2.10 refers).
5.2 What are the environmental, occupational safety and health issues that tenants
should caution?
5.2.1 Reducing unnecessary waste Note 1
All the installations and finishes in a PRH flat have undergone rigorous inspection
to ensure their compliance with the standard set by the HA. Tenants should
exercise prudence before discarding any installations (such as wash basins,
water taps and bathroom doors) by making reference to the requirements set out
in this handbook to avoid wastage.
Note 1: According to the statistics in 2016, the daily quantity of solid waste disposed of at landfills in
Hong Kong was about 15 332 tonnes in average, of which 6 391 tonnes, or about 42%, were
domestic waste. The existing landfills will be exhausted one by one if the waste level continues
to rise at the current rate.
5.2.2 Mitigating noise and dust nuisance
(a) Tenants should carry out decoration works inside the flat with the entrance
door closed to avoid causing noise and dust nuisance to the neighbours and
affecting the living environment.
(b) Tenants should properly cover the doorphone handset and door bell in
the flat during the decoration works lest dust and dirt accumulate, thus
affecting their functions.
(c) Tenants should ensure that decoration works are carried out during the
permitted hours as specified in this handbook.
17
5.2.3 Maintaining good indoor ventilation
(a) Tenants should make reference to the guidelines issued by the Environmental
Protection Department and use environmently friendly building materials
such as water-based paint and low-VOC paint to minimise the impact on
health and the environment.
(b) When using volatile materials such as solvent-based paint, adhesive,

brushing lacquer, etc for the decoration works, tenants should maintain
good ventilation and pay particular attention to preventing fire hazards.
(c) During the initial period after moving into the flat, tenants should maintain
good indoor ventilation as far as possible to reduce the air pollutant level
therein.
5.2.4 Handling renovation waste properly
(a) Tenants should pay for the debris removal charges (including the charges
for the disposal of construction waste) at the time of intake. The Office will
arrange contractors for centralised handling of all the renovation waste and
debris. Tenants should enquire at the Office about the details and the
charges when applying for decoration works. No improper disposal of
renovation waste is allowed.
(b) Tenants should promptly remove and dispose of all the waste left behind after
the decoration works at the designated debris point of the estate. Improper
disposal of the waste in public areas is liable to prosecution. The Office
will take appropriate actions under the Marking Scheme for Estate
Management Enforcement in Public Housing Estates.
(c) When carrying out the decoration works, tenants should prevent materials
such as cement and mortar from sticking to the floor tiles of the corridor as it
will be extremely difficult to remove them completely. The Office is empowered
to require negligent tenants to bear the removal and cleansing charges.
(d) For public interests, tenants should not dump decoration materials (such as
limestone powder, latex, cement and mortar) into the water closet or drains
as this will cause blockages.
(e) Tenants should sort the recyclable waste materials and put them in the
respective collection bins for recycling.
18
5.3.1 Decorations and installations of a PRH flat

The main decorations and installations of a PRH flat are as follows:
(a) Emulsion paint on walls and ceilings;
(b) Waterproof membranes applied to the underside of the floor tiles in the
kitchen and the bathroom, and moisture sealers applied to the underside of
the ceramic wall tiles;
(c) A cooking bench (item 5.3.12 refers), a stainless steel sink and a water
saving mixer tap in the kitchen;
(d) Sanitary fitments, a water-saving mixer tap and a shower in the bathroom;
(e) A metal gateset at the flat entrance; and
( f ) Drying racks/rods.
5.3.2 No unauthorised alteration of floor tiles and mural tiles
Waterproof membranes have been applied to the underside of the floor tiles in
the kitchen and the bathroom, and moisture sealers to the underside of the
ceramic wall tiles. Improper removal of tiles or alteration of partition walls will
affect the function of the waterproof membranes and moisture sealers resulting in
possible seepage. This will damage the interior decorations and installations
and cause nuisance and losses to the tenants living on the floor below and in
the neighbouring flats. Therefore, tenants should not alter floor and ceramic wall
tiles. Should the tenants need to carry out such alternations under special
circumstances, they should seek approval from the Office before the
commencement of the works which should be carried out in accordance with
the corresponding conditions of approval. Due care should be taken to avoid
damaging the waterproof membranes applied. Tenants are liable for any losses
and claims resulting from the alteration.
19
5.3.3 The entrance door and metal gateset of a PRH flat
(a) The Buildings Ordinance states that the position of the metal gateset at the
entrance to a PRH flat and the direction of opening should not obstruct the
fire escape route and the 1.5m x 1.5m maneuvering space for wheelchairs at
the dead end of corridors.
(b) No unauthorised replacement or alternation of the metal gateset installed at

the entrance door of the flat is allowed. Should tenants need to alter it,
they should seek prior approval from the Office and the works should be
carried out in compliance with the relevant requirements of the Fire Safety
Ordinance and the Buildings Ordinance and the guidelines issued by the
Office. The metal gateset should be connected to an earthing wire or earthing
conductor according to the requirements of the Code of Practice for the
Electricity (Wiring) Regulations.
(c) The Buildings Ordinance states that self-closing doors to the entrance
and the kitchen of a PRH flat should be fire-resistant and kept closed at all
times. No unauthorised removal, replacement or alteration of such doors is
permitted.
(d) For fire safety reasons, tenants should not install at their entrance door
and metal gateset locks which can only be opened from inside the flat with
a key. The installation of locks should be carried out in compliance with the
guidelines issued by the Office.
(e) A powder coating has been applied to the metal gateset at the flat entrance.
To protect the coating and keep the metal gateset clean, tenants should
clean the gateset at least once every six months with neutral and
non-corrosive detergent.
( f ) Suitable lubrication should be applied to the moving parts of the metal

gateset to ensure that the gateset operates smoothly.
5.3.4 Partition walls
(a) The partition walls of a PRH flat are non-structural walls. Please refer to
the “Flat Floor Plan” on pages 34 to 43 of Annex 1 for the location of
such walls.
20
(b) Waterproof membranes have been applied between the partition walls and
tiles in the kitchen and the bathroom. Tenants should not replace the wall
tiles or remove the walls at will lest the effectiveness of the waterproof
membranes be undermined, resulting in seepage which will affect the
renovations and decorations of the other rooms in the flat. If tenants need to
replace the wall tiles under special circumstances, the Office’s prior approval
is required and the replacement work should be carried out in accordance
with the corresponding conditions of approval.
(c) The installation or hanging of any equipment on the partition walls, tenants
should comply with the following guidelines to ensure safety at work and
maintain integrity of the partition walls:
• Any fixtures such as hangers, suspended cabinets, exhaust hoods, etc,

should be fixed on the partition walls with screws with plastic universal
plugs.
• Before the installation of any equipment, make reference to “Indicative

Details of Installations on Wall (1)” on page 49 of Annex 2 and “Indicative
Details of Installations on Wall (2)” on page 50 of Annex 2 to ensure that the
conduit or conduit box will not be damaged when nailing, drilling or cutting
grooves on the walls, since contact with the electric wires that may pose
a hazard.
• For the installation of any fixtures on the tiled wall in the bathroom, the
embedded parts should be sealed with glazing sealant to prevent seepage
through the wall.
21
5.3.5 Addition of partition walls
(a) Tenants should seek prior approval from the Office for the addition/alteration
of partition walls. If the partition walls are not block walls, such works are
exempt from the requirements of the Minor Works Control System if they are
carried out in accordance with the indicative layout plan of partition walls for
type C and type D flats (“Indicative Diagram of Partition Walls” on pages 52
to 55 of Annex 3 refers). Otherwise, the works are subject to control under
the System.
(b) To avoid imposing loading in excess of the design floor loading capacity,
the additional partition walls installed by tenants must not be heavier than a
85mm-thick solid concrete block wall (density: 2 060 kg/m³) with 15mm
finishes (density: 2 300 kg/m³) on both sides of the wall. If partition wall is
constructed of block work and not exceeding 75mm in thickness and
650 kg/m 3 in density, etc, it may be considered as exempted building
work, subject to control under the Minor Works Control System.
5.3.6 Aluminium windows and window grilles
(a) PRH flats are provided with window grilles to further enhance household
safety. Tenants who need to alter the window grilles should adopt the
designs approved by the Office and ensure that the works will not affect the
structure of the window frames.
(b) Tenants should not alter or remove the windows and the earthing wires or
conductors of the windows in their flats. Nor should they alter the glass
panes of the windows at will, including the use of reflective films on the
windows and installing glass panes of other colours or reflective glass panes.
(c) Tenants should use aluminium windows properly. Do not install added fixtures
including clothes-drying facilities on window frames or external walls. To
avoid imposing additional loads on window hinges, no clothes or other
items should be hung on window sashes for convenience. Hinges may
loose due to additional loads, affecting the structure of window frames
and thus endangering public safety.
(d) Do not force a window open or close if tenants find it difficult to do so.
Otherwise, the pivot, the screw and the rivet will be overloaded, resulting in
loosening or even dislodging of the window sash.
(e) Tenants should always remove the sand, dust, dirt and debris from the hinge
and track.
22
( f ) Tenants should clean the windows with fresh water. Do not use acidic or
alkaline cleansing agents. Clear any stagnant water. Keep the top of the
window sash, the underside of the window frame and the track dry.
(g) When cleaning the windows, do not impose additional loads on window
sashes, such as by leaning on them. Aluminium windows are not designed
for weight bearing. The added loads will overload the windows, especially the
most fragile joints of the hinges.
(h) Tenants should regularly lubricate the moving parts of aluminium windows,
such as the hinge, the track and the pivot, to avoid any unnecessary friction
and excessive wear and tear of screws/rivets while opening the windows.
( i ) Tenants should carry out regular visual checks on the windows. In case of
any defective signs, notify the Office as soon as possible.
5.3.7 Drying racks/rods
(a) All PRH flats are provided with fixed drying racks/rods. If tenants need to
replace the drying racks/rods or install additional ones on the external
walls, they should seek prior approval from the Office. Tenants should
appoint “prescribed registered contractors” for the erection, alteration or
removal of the drying racks/rods projecting from the external walls of the
buildings in accordance with the Minor Works Control System.
(b) If tenants need to install additional drying racks/rods on the external walls
and subsequent modification of the existing window grilles, tenants
should seek the Office’s prior approval and carry out the work in accordance
with the corresponding conditions of approval.
(c) Tenants are required to maintain the earthing wires or earthing conductors
intact and connected properly with metallic equipment/fittings according to
the requirements of the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring)
Regulations.
(d) Insecure drying racks/rods will pose a threat or danger to passers-by.

Tenants should therefore ensure that their replaced or added drying
racks/rods are safe and secure, for which they should bear full responsibility.
(e) No object other than clothes is permitted to be hung on the drying

racks/rods. Tenants should not hang clothes in places other than the drying
racks/rods, such as aluminium windows or pipes, to prevent the falling
objects from heights that endangers the public. Those who contravene the
above should bear all the legal and maintenance responsibilities.
23
5.3.8 Bathroom floor drain outlets
The floor drain outlet is situated in the sunken shower. Tenants should ensure
that the outlet is not blocked by objects or devices to prevent flooding.
5.3.9 Fire protection devices for plastic pipes
Plastic pipes in some PRH flats are provided with fire collars or intumescent pipe
wraps in compliance with the Buildings Ordinance. Tenants should not alter or
damage such devices.
5.3.10 Washing machine outlets
Tenants should appoint registered contractors/workers for the installation of

washing machines and connect the drain hose to the designated position. Do
not discharge water into the floor drains at will to avoid causing seepage to the
tenants living on the floor below.
5.3.11 The gas meter reading system
The gas meter of some PRH flats is connected to a meter reading system.
Tenants should not remove the system at will.
5.3.12 Other information and advice
(a) To address tenants’ needs and minimise wastages, the polymer

resin worktop level of cooking bench in the kitchen could be adjusted
according to the guidelines issued by the Office. If the adjustment of
cooking bench level is required, tenants should apply to the Office after
intake for necessary arrangement.
(b) Tenants should seek prior approval of the Office to notify the relevant gas
supplier for altering the gas supply pipes before adjusting the worktop level
for installation of electrical induction cooker.
24
5.4 Points to note for alteration works in PRH flats
5.4.1 PRH tenants may need to decorate their flats upon intake or after moving in for
some years. However, the fixtures in their PRH flats may not be altered. When
planning for decoration works, attention should be paid to the relevant guidelines
of the HD to avoid breach of tenancy clause inadvertently.
5.4.2 Currently, landlord’s fixtures of PRH flats are classified into Categories A, B and C.
No alterations are permitted for fixtures in Category A, e.g. walls enclosing
kitchen, toilet or bathroom. Alterations to Category B fixtures are permitted
only with a prior approval of the HA, e.g. cooking bench or wall tiles at kitchen.
No HA’s approval is required for alterations to Category C fixtures, e.g. floor finish
or internal painted surface at living room, dining room or bedroom. Tenants
should be responsible for future maintenance, replacement or reinstatement of all
the alterations.
5.4.3 It is stipulated clearly in the Tenancy Agreement signed between the HA and PRH
tenants that tenants are obliged not to make any alterations to the fixtures of
the PRH flats without prior consent in writing from the landlord. Should
unauthorised alterations be found in the PRH flats, tenants have to abate or
reinstate the works at their own expenses. If the abatement or reinstatement
works have to be carried out by the HD, e.g. being Category A fixtures, all the
costs incurred (including supervision charge) will be reimbursed by the tenant.
The HD will arrange contractors to remove the unauthorised alterations and
reinstate the fixtures to the HD’s standard provisions.
5.4.4 Under normal circumstances, if the unauthorised alterations jeopardise building

structural safety, contravene prevailing statutory requirements, constitute serious
public health or environmental nuisance, etc, the HD will issue an enforcement
notice to the tenant concerned upon the discovery of unauthorised alterations.
The tenant should complete the relevant abatement or reinstatement works
within 60 days upon receipt of the notice. If longer time is required to complete
the works, the tenant should submit an extension application to the HD who may
consider the application on individual merits. Should a tenant fail to complete
the works within the specified time frame without justified reasons, the HD may
consider issuing Notice-to-quit to the tenant to terminate the tenancy.
5.4.5 Tenants may approach the respective Office for any enquiries on alterations. The
list of categorisation of landlord’s fixtures has been delivered together with
the Decoration Application Form inside the intake folder and acknowledged
receipt by tenants during intake. The list is displayed on the notice board of the
Office for tenants’ information.
25
6. What should tenants caution when carrying out building services
works?
6.1 What are the important rules?
6.1.1 Tenants should keep the cable conduits, electric wires, water pipes, gas pipes
and other equipment intact. When executing the building services works, tenants
should be cautious and strictly comply with the relevant regulations.
6.1.2 According to the legislation on electricity, water services, gas supply and fire
services, all the relevant works should be carried out by the respective registered
contractors/personnel.
6.1.3 All alterations of electrical installations have to comply with the Code of
Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations. The total electricity loading
within a PRH flat should not exceed its total electricity capacity. All the
existing circuit-breakers in the consumer unit should not be connected
to circuits other than originally designed ones. If new circuits are required,
they should be connected to additional circuit breakers at the reserved
space inside the consumer unit and cables should be surface-mounted.
Tenants should not hack away in the ceilings and walls for the installation of
concealed wiring.
6.1.4 Since steel reinforcement is embedded in the concrete structural walls of PRH
flats (pages 34 to 43 of Annex 1 refer), tenants should not hack away in these
walls for concealing pipelines, electrical switches, etc so as not to jeopardise the
structural safety of the building.
6.1.5 Tenants should not alter at will any of the communal facilities including the
exposed water supply pipes installed within or outside a PRH flat and the drain
pipes on the external walls.
6.1.6 Tenants should not alter the telephone socket and connecting wires inside the
PRH flat owned by the relevant companies. Should tenants find it necessary to
relocate these sockets and wires, they should make an application to the
companies concerned.
26
6.1.7 Tenants should not alter at will the consumer unit and the doorphone handset
inside a PRH flat to avoid affecting the power supply system and the function
of the doorphone handset. Should tenants find it necessary to relocate them, they
should seek prior approval of the Office, and the relevant works should be carried
out by registered contractors.
6.1.8 Tenants should follow the methods specified by the Office for installation of fixtures
on partition walls (item 5.3.4 refers).
6.2.1 Electric wires
(a) Electric cables installed in a PRH flat are all enclosed in conduits and
concealed in the walls and ceilings. When carrying out nailing, drilling and
other works on the walls and ceilings, tenants have to be very careful not to
damage the concealed cable conduits, conduit boxes or in contact with the
wire, which are hazardous. Items 5.1.7 to 5.1.9 refer.
(b) Please refer to the “Indicative Details of Installations on Wall (1)”, “Indicative
Details of Installations on Wall (2)” and “Indicative Details of Installations on
Wall (3) (Consumer Unit)” on pages 49 to 51 of Annex 2 for the important
points to note about the installation of equipment on partition walls and
concrete walls.
(c) Tenants should seek prior approval of the Office before installation of new
cables. New cables should be surface-mounted. Tenants should not hack
away in the ceilings and walls for the installation of concealed wiring.
(d) All newly added or altered cables have to comply with the cable colour code
requirements of the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations.
6.2.2 Earthed cables
(a) According to the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations,
water pipes, gas supply pipes, sinks and other metallic equipment/fittings are
connected with earthed cables in green-and-yellow stripes or with concealed
earthing conductors. Tenants should not remove or damage these cables or
earthing conductors or the associated warning notices, and other concealed
earthing conduit boxes and conduits.
27
(b) Tenants who install or alter metallic equipment/fittings such as shower curtain
rails by themselves should connect the equipment/fittings with earthed cables
or earthing conductors to comply with the requirements of the Code of
Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations.
6.2.3 Residual current device (RCD)
(a) To guard against danger caused by earth leakage, all sockets are connected
to RCD in the consumer unit. Tenants should test RCD quarterly to ensure
that it is functioning properly.
(b) To carry out the test, press the built-in test button. RCD will trip to the OFF
position. For re-activation, switch RCD to the ON position and the power
supply of all sockets will resume.
6.2.4 Fresh water pipes
(a) All indoor pipes carrying unheated fresh water are made of copper.
(b) Tenants should not alter the pipes at will.
(c) Tenants should seek prior approval from the Office and the Water Supplies
Department (WSD) for alteration of taps or change of pipe positions. The
water pipes and fittings to be used have to meet the relevant requirements.
The whole alteration works have to be carried out by a licensed plumber.
28
(d) If the water in the plumbing system has not been used for a long time,
sediment may build up in the stagnant water. According to the WSD’s
advice, tenants moving into a new flat or have just completed replumbing
works should run the water taps twice a day (in the morning and at night,
for 15 minutes each) Note 2 for the first three days of using the potable
water plumbing system. Besides, tenants should run the taps every time
for at least two minutes Note 2 to wash away the accumulated metals or
other substances before using the water for drinking or cooking during the
same period.
(e) If water has been standing in pipes for a long time (e.g. after several hours
or overnight), the tap should be run for two minutes or longer Note 2 before
using the water for drinking or cooking. The flushed water could be saved and
used for purposes other than drinking or cooking. If water has been standing
in the pipes for a longer period of time (e.g. over a weekend or after a holiday
when the plumbing system has not been used), the time to run the water
should be longer.
Note 2: Water saving tip: the flushed water can be saved for non-potable purposes, e.g. watering
plants and cleaning.
( f ) As hot water increases the amount of impurities that may leach from pipes
and fittings, tenants should avoid using water from hot water taps for drinking
or cooking.
6.2.5 Drain pipes
(a) All indoor drain pipes are made of uPVC.

(b) Tenants should not alter the indoor drain pipes at will. Tenants should seek
prior approval of the Office for changing the positions of any indoor drain
pipes. The water pipes and fittings to be used have to meet the relevant
requirements and the whole alteration works have to be carried out by a
registered contractor.
(c) Tenants should not alter the drain pipes installed on the external walls at will.
29
6.2.6 Gas supply pipes
(a) Tenants should not alter the gas supply pipes at will.
(b) Tenants should seek prior approval of the Office for altering the gas supply
pipes after the gas meter, and subsequently make an application to the
relevant gas supplier. The altered pipes should be surface-mounted.
6.2.7 Installation of water heaters
(a) PRH flats are equipped with gas supply connection points for installing
balanced flue gas water heaters. Tenants who wish to use electric water
heaters should choose single-phase models (not exceeding 4kw) approved
by the WSD, and appoint relevant registered contractors/personnel to carry
out the installation/alteration works and assess the total current demand
which shall not exceed the rating of the overcurrent protective device of the
flat in accordance with the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring)
Regulations.
(b) PRH flats are equipped with water-saving showerheads and mixer taps.
Tenants should purchase water heaters compatible with the showerheads and
mixer taps installed. In case of doubts about the choice of water heaters,
tenants may enquire the water-heater suppliers concerned.
(c) Tenants who want to change the bathroom fittings, such as the water mixer,
the shower hose or the showerhead, should choose product models approved
by the WSD. Moreover, tenants should not use bathroom fittings with strong
flow resistance to avoid affecting water discharge and normal operation of
water heaters.
6.2.8 Installation of cooking stoves
(a) A gas supply connection point and a power socket for the installation of a
cooking stove are provided at the cooking bench of each PRH flat. Tenants
should not alter the connection point and the socket at will. Tenants should
make an application to the gas supplier and the Office if alteration of gas
supply connection point or the power socket is required under special
circumstance due to the installation of cooking stoves.
(b) Tenants may choose to use electric cooking stoves.

30
6.2.9 Installation of exhaust fans and exhaust hoods
(a) PRH flats are equipped with fused connection units for the installation of
exhaust fans Note 3 in kitchens and bathrooms, or exhaust hoods in kitchens.
Note 3: Under normal circumstances, the diameter of the exhaust fan in the kitchen and the bathroom
should not exceed 6 inches (150 mm).
(b) Exhaust fans or piping of exhaust hoods in kitchens should be installed only
at the designated windows but not newly formed openings in the external
walls. Exhaust hoods have to be fitted with oil catch trays to prevent smearing
onto the external wall. Tenants should remove the grease of the exhaust fans
and clean the smeared external wall or the surrounding area. The air duct of
the exhaust hoods should not protrude outside the external walls.
6.2.10 Installation of air-conditioners
(a) Tenants should seek prior approval from the Office for installation of
air-conditioners. Only window-type air-conditioners or window-split-type
air-conditioners of similar size and weight should be installed at the designated
positions Note 4. Tenants should not install air-conditioners in other positions.
(b) Before purchasing an air-conditioner, tenants should make sure that it is

suitable for installing at the designated position of the PRH flat, and that it fits
the size of the window frame and electricity capacity of the PRH flat.
(c) Connection units for electrical supply Note 4 are provided at the side of all the
windows designated for the installation of air-conditioners.
Note 4: The designated positions and connection units for air-conditioners are provided to suit the
partition wall layout shown on the Indicative Diagrams of Partition Walls in Annex 3.
(d) Drain pipes are provided at designated positions for connecting to the water
drain points of air-conditioners. Tenants should ensure that air-conditioners are
not dripping to prevent causing nuisance to the tenants living downstairs.
(e) When turning on the air-conditioner, tenants should not direct the cold air to
the ceiling as this will cool the ceiling, causing water droplets to form on
the floor of the PRH flat above and bringing unnecessary nuisance to the
tenants living therein.
31
( f ) For energy saving, tenants are recommended to purchase air-conditioners
rated Grade 1 or 2 under the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department’s
Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme.
6.2.11 Installation of washing machines
Kitchens are equipped with fused connection units, water drain points and water
supply pipes for the installation of washing machines.
6.2.12 Television antenna
All PRH flats are equipped with communal antenna sockets to facilitate tenants
to watch television and listen to the radio. Tenants should not install television
antenna outside the windows of their flats nor modify the circuit of the communal
antenna (and of other subscription television) and its socket position to prevent
interfering with or damaging the communal aerial system of the block. Tenants
need only to connect their television set or set-top box to the communal antenna
socket for watching free analogue or digital television programmes.
Tenants who subscribe to i-Cable TV will be provided with a special socket by the
company. However, tenants still have to connect their television set or set-top box
to the communal antenna socket provided by the HA in order to watch free
analogue or digital television programmes. The special socket provided by i-Cable
TV only connects to the company’s decoder and does not transmit free television

Guide to Green Living
1. What is the Guide to Green Living?
1.1 The HA is dedicated to fostering a better living environment for tenants by enhancing the
quality of its public housing and related services. A more environmentally effective
approach is adopted in the management of public rental housing blocks to extend their
lifespan. Giving special prominence to synergy, we engage our tenants in promoting
green living habit and developing a better living environment. We compile the Guide to
Green Living against this background to draw tenants’ attention to environmental
protection, making good use of resources and maintaining a clean and hygienic
environment. The Guide to Green Living offers practical advice on optimising natural
resources and reducing energy consumption, which could result in saving money,
reducing domestic refuse and recycling waste for environmental protection.
1.2 We hope that the following suggestions can help, and that you can work with us to
protect our living environment and enhance the quality of living.
56
2. How to create an eco-friendly home?
2.1 Energy saving
(a) Make best value of natural light for interior illumination and reduce the use of lighting
fittings. Homes look brighter with windows wiped clean and ceilings/walls painted in
light colours.
(b) Use lighting fittings with high energy efficiency. Fluorescent tubes, compact
fluorescent lamps and LED lamps are the best choice since they are energy saving
Note 1
and durable .
Note 1: Since fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lamps contain traces of chemicals while electronic parts are
found in compact fluorescent lamps and LED lamps, both causing hazards to the environment. Tenants should
not dispose of the condemned tubes/lamps by themselves in their own ways but should bring to the Estate
Property Services Management Office (Office) for centralised handling.
(c) Clean lighting fittings regularly for optimal performance.
(d) Reduce the use of air conditioning. Keep the interior well-ventilated and make best
value of sun-blocking curtains to lower indoor temperature. An electric fan uses less
energy than an air-conditioner and is sufficient to create a comfortable living
environment under normal circumstances.
(e) Keep windows and doors closed when the air-conditioner is on Note 2. Adjust the
temperature to a suitable level, e.g. 25.5°C, to reduce energy consumption. Do not
obstruct indoor air outlets and outdoor exhaust outlets for smooth outflow of cool
air. Clean filters regularly to avoid a build-up of dust which affects cooling efficiency
and consumes more electricity.
Note 2: Please keep the room well-ventilated and refrain from open fire cooking when windows and doors are closed.
( f ) Reduce the use of electric heater. Wear sufficient clothing to keep warm. If electric
heater is on, make sure windows and doors are closed to prevent heat loss Note 3.
Place the heater at a safe and suitably close distance to avert the need of turning up
the heater temperature.
Note 3: Please keep the room well-ventilated and refrain from open fire cooking when windows and doors are closed.
57
(g) Leave a proper distance between the refrigerator and the wall. Avoid stacking things
on top of the refrigerator to facilitate heat dissipation. Do not put hot food inside it to
prevent higher consumption of electricity and a shorter lifespan of the appliance.
(h) Run the washing machine with full loads, and use an “economy” programme that
suits your needs.
( i ) Switch off electrical appliances such as computers, audio-visual equipment and

chargers immediately after use. For safety reasons and energy saving, do not leave
them on stand-by mode.
( j) Clean electrical appliances regularly to reduce energy consumption and extend

their lifespan. Turn off power supply to appliances when left unused for a long
period of time.
(k) Use electrical appliances with high energy efficiency, for example, those with an
energy label approved by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department,
and air-conditioners and refrigerators that bear green labels (indicating the absence
of chlorofluorocarbons which is destructive to the ozone layer).
2.2 Smart and healthy drinking water habits
(a) If the water in the plumbing system has not been used for a long time, sediment
may build up in the stagnant water. According to the Water Supplies Department
(WSD)’s advice, tenants moving into a new flat or have just completed replumbing
works should run the water taps twice a day (in the morning and at night, for 15
minutes each) Note 4 for the first three days of using the potable water plumbing
system. Besides, tenants should run the taps every time for at least two
minutes Note 4 to wash away the accumulated metals or other substances before
using the water for drinking or cooking during the same period.
(b) If water has been standing in pipes for a long time (e.g. after several hours or
overnight), the tap should be run for two minutes or longer Note 4 before using the
water for drinking or cooking. The flushed water could be saved and used for purposes
other than drinking or cooking. If water has been standing in the pipes for a longer
period of time (e.g. over a weekend or after a holiday when the plumbing system has
not been used), the time to run the water should be longer.
Note 4: Water saving tip: the flushed water can be saved for non-potable purposes, e.g. watering plants and
58 cleaning.
(c) As hot water increases the amount of impurities that may leach from pipes and fittings,
tenants should avoid using water from hot water taps for drinking or cooking.
(d) Use water-saving water taps and showerheads (such as those with Water Efficiency
Label approved by the WSD). Turn them off after use.
(e) Take showers instead of baths.
(f ) Do not wash clothes, vegetables, rice, fruits, etc under a running tap.
(g) Save water by running the washing machine with full loads.
(h) Recycle water for floor washing, planting, etc.
( i ) Check regularly for leaks in water supply of toilet cisterns, dripping taps or
showerheads to avoid wastage. Repairs should be done by a licensed plumber.
( j) Do not store more water than you need.
(k) Teach children not to play with water to avoid wastage.
2.3 Hygienic disposal of household waste
(a) Wrap all household waste and dispose of it properly in the refuse collection room.
Large items, such as furniture, must be brought to a refuse collection point or an area
designated by the Office.
(b) To avoid hazards to the environment and public health, do not dispose of
construction waste or debris in public areas during renovation. Tenants in breach of
the requirements are liable to prosecution, and the Office will take action, as
appropriate, in accordance with the Marking Scheme for Estate Management
Enforcement in Public Housing Estates.
2.4 Recycling
(a) Separate waste by putting scrap metal, plastic waste, waste paper and electronic
waste (including condemned compact fluorescent lamps and rechargeable batteries)
into respective recycle bins in refuse collection rooms or other designated areas.
59
(b) Donate used items like furniture, electrical appliances, televisions, computers,
clothes, toys and books to people in need through charitable institutions. Recycle
your clothes by putting them in used clothes recycling banks of the estate.
2.5 Waste reduction
(a) Reduce the use of plastic bags and use your own bags when shopping.
(b) Buy items in bulk or those in refill packs, instead of those in individual packages.
Prepare a shopping list to avoid unnecessary purchases.
(c) Always look for reusable materials like recycled paper, refillable ball pens, mechanical
pencils or rechargeable batteries.
(d) Refrain from use of disposable products like paper cups or paper plates.
2.6 Maintaining good indoor ventilation
(a) Open windows whenever possible to maintain good ventilation and to prevent
build-up of air pollutants.
(b) Grow indoor potted plants for greening.

3. Any further information to notice?
3.1 Regular inspection and maintenance of drain pipes and hygienic facilities
As viruses or epidemic diseases can spread to the bathroom and kitchen via soil drains
and sewers, it is vital to conduct regular inspection and maintenance of drain pipes and
sanitary fitments. Check that all drain inlets are filled with water regularly to maintain the
water seal in the U-traps for proper functioning.
