Programme Highlights
The Hong Kong Jockey Club's "Our Green Place"
is a 510 square meter garden on the roof of headquarters building and
is full of environmental elements. Its extensive use of plants not only
transforms the roof into a bright and green area, but also creates a
cooling effect for the building below. This in turn enables the Club to
increase its energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and reduce
energy costs.
A
number of environmental friendly technologies have been adopted. For
instance, the plants on the vertical green wall are irrigated by water
discharged from the water-cooled chillers installed on the roof. Other
features include solar-powered irrigation and lamps, eco-friendly timber
decks and the use of eco-bricks made from recycled glass. The walls
carry decorations made from used tyres, while the corridors display
artistic metal sculptures created by Club farriers from recycled
horseshoes.
The Hong Kong Racing Museum
is located in the Happy Valley Racecourse and the covering area more
than 6,000 square feet. Museum has eight exhibition halls, a theater can
accommodate up to 84 people and gift gallery. The theme of the
exhibition include Hong Kong horseracing history and development. Join
us to explore more of this newly created green roof and learn more about
horse racing development in Hong Kong. .
