HSUHK Quarterly Hour and No Air Con Night
To step up our efforts in energy conservation and sustainability and to raise awareness on eco-friendliness, we have scheduled “HSUHK Quarterly Hour” for 4 times a year. In these 60 minutes, we will reduce our carbon footprint by minimising unnecessary energy consumption. This time, the University pledges to take part in Green Sense’s “No Air Con Night” alongside “HSUHK Quarterly Hour” and asks for your kind support to consider turning off air con at living places, when the outdoor temperature is lower than 27℃. You can also sign up online individually if you would like to pledge to turn off the air con in the night of 8 October.

| Date: | 08.10.2021 (Friday) |
