The Mission

Spanning 300,000 sq. ft., Go Park Sai Sha bridges Wu Kai Sha with Sai Kung Town Centre, offering diverse sports, entertainment, and shopping experiences. To meet stringent energy efficiency standards and support its sustainability certification goals, SHKP sought reliable HVAC solutions that would enhance operational efficiency without compromising environmental responsibility. 

 

Trane’s Solution

As part of its overall sustainability strategy, SHKP selected two Trane® RTAG-XSE air-cooled chillers, a CIC Platinum-rated product, each with a cooling capacity of approximately 1,200 kW. These chillers offer advanced features such as a variable volume ratio helical-rotary compressor with a permanent magnet motor, electronically commutated condensing fans, and integrated industrial-grade anti-corrosion protection. The RTAG-XSE chillers deliver strong performance, with a full-load coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.50 under Building Energy Code (BEC) standard conditions, and enhanced efficiency during partial load operation. 


Additional features include robust construction for reliable, low-maintenance operation, a three-level acoustic package for reduced noise levels, and the 
Trane® Symbio® 800 Programmable Controller for easy integration with building management systems and streamlined, remote operation.

 

Key Outcomes

Since its commissioning, the Trane air-cooled chillers have contributed to the overall sustainable management of Go Park Sai Sha, supporting SHKP’s ESG objectives in several ways:

  • Enhanced energy efficiency: The chillers operate within stringent energy standards and contribute to the site’s sustainability targets.
  • Cost-effective and quiet operation: The low-noise design eliminates the need for additional silencer equipment, offering an effective and economical solution for maintaining visitor comfort.
  • Reliable performance: Industrial-grade design requires minimal maintenance and provides dependable operation for the complex’s diverse needs.
  • Smart controls: Cloud-based controls enable real-time monitoring and optimization, supporting efficient ongoing management.

Trane’s highly efficient RTAG-XSE air-cooled chillers have not only helped SHKP achieve multiple sustainability certifications but also play a pivotal role in supporting the success of the Go Park Sai Sha community. The project sets a new standard for sustainable, energy-conscious developments in Sai Sha, exemplifying SHKP’s commitment to environmental responsibility and high-performance building solutions.
