HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
Adapting Home Design to Changing Times
The pandemic has brought to the fore the issue of hygiene and sanitation in the home environment with the intermittent outbreak of the virus in residential buildings. To address the issue, we have undertaken a host of measures to improve the home design and facilities of our development projects.
To mitigate risk of virus transmission, a two-pipe system separating the drain stacks for soil water and waste water at residential floors, and drainage fitted with W-trap system will be adopted. Drainage in existing rental estates will also be inspected with altered or faulty pipes fixed and fitted with W-trap systems as appropriate.
Apart from incorporating designs that fit in with the demands arising from the pandemic, we continued to carry out improvement works in rental estates with a view to upgrading facilities for providing quality living for our residents. In this regard, a total of $110 million was committed and 64 improvement works were completed during the year, with a bulk of these belonging to our rental estate projects under the Voluntary Building Assessment Scheme.
