香港, 2024年12月30日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 香港醫療工程業界一直積極響應香港特別行政區政府推動先進科技建築法，以實現高效建築。業界於2020年採用先進的「組裝合成」（MiC）建造技術，配以「機電裝備合成法」（MiMEP），成功建造全球首個組裝合成可快速建造的高規格負壓隔離病房的模組。該模組早在2020年第一波疫情開始被徵用作抗疫用途。疫後負壓隔離病房的模組被轉送到九龍灣建造業零碳天地作為期約兩年的公眾展覽，以推廣組裝合成建築法。模組於2025年完成公眾展覽後，部分組件將會被回收，作進一步研究等用途。此項目展現了創新工程技術在用於公共衛生方面的巨大潛力，並為模組化設計傳染病隔離設施的技術奠定了堅實的基礎。香港工程業界過去一直群策群力，運用嶄新思維和技術，為對抗新冠疫情出一分力。由設計草圖到落成項目，業界僅用了四個月的時間，於2020年5月成功打造出媲美醫院規格的負壓隔離病房，並成為全球首例，及後此設計方案更被譽為「港版火神山」。此設施設計展現了香港工程界的專業能力、創新精神以及在危機時刻的快速應變能力，更為全球應對這類事件提供了重要的參考範例。該項目採用先進的MiC建造技術，配以MiMEP兩種高效建築方法相輔相成，共同提高建築效率，讓整個建造周期僅需約一個月的時間。MiC技術允許近八成的工序在工廠預製完成，再運送至現場快速組裝和調試，顯著縮短了在工地的建造時間，並確保了工程質量和可持續性。經嚴格的通風測試驗證，這些病房能提供高效的負壓隔離環境，有效阻斷高傳染性病毒粒子經空氣的傳播。隔離病房設計的特點是不需外置大量風喉等的中央空調系統支援，以 MiMEP 內藏的通風空調自給自足形成所需的空氣流向設計，得以有效控制感染。因應香港寸金尺土的情況，須設計出能在狹小空間建成的項目，這個「高度濃縮設計」在當時來說是全球首例。香港工程師學會前會長、英國屋宇裝備工程師學會前副會長、英國醫療工程學會香港分會主席源栢樑教授、工程師表示：「當年受到國家『火神山』項目的啟發，開始構思如何在有限的空間內建成高規格的隔離病房，要有雙門連鎖控制，以達至精準控制氣流走向，為了便於運輸，因此以標準貨櫃箱體積為藍本而設計，是其中一個理想的選項。結合MiC和MiMEP兩種建築方法，可實現病房自給自足的通風空調設計，以及透過較小的機電模組連接每間病房供電，這項創新設計亦成為當時的全球首例。」源教授在其時亦分享了這設計給各工程同業，合作建設更多合適的隔離設施。源教授補充：「組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房的成功，證明了工程創新在應對公共衛生挑戰中的重要作用。該項目已完成其歷史任務，但這並非終點，我期望透過這次成功的經驗，更好地響應政府以此新穎的高效建築方法，建造更多先進的建築項目，並鼓勵香港更多工程師投身創科創新行列，攜手演譯及說好香港工程故事。」香港工程師學會前會長、英國屋宇裝備工程師學會前副會長、英國醫療工程學會香港分會主席源栢樑教授、工程師衷心感謝工程業界的鼎力支持，群策群力於2020年採用先進的「组裝合成」（MiC）建造技術，配以「機電裝備合成法」（MiMEP），成功建造全球首個组裝合成可快速建造的高規格負壓隔離病房的模组，成就香港工程界的創舉。此組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房的設計特點是不需外置大量風喉等的中央空調系統支援，以「機電裝備合成法」（MiMEP）內藏的通風空調自給自足形成所需的空氣流向設計，得以有效控制感染。圖示香港工程師學會前會長、英國屋宇裝備工程師學會前副會長、英國醫療工程學會香港分會主席源栢樑教授、工程師進行煙霧測試，顯示空氣只會單向流入病房，或經通風系統被抽走。經嚴格的通風測試驗證，此組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房能提供高質量的負壓隔離環境，有效阻斷高傳染性粒子經空氣的傳播。疫後高規格負壓隔離病房的模組被轉送到九龍灣建造業零碳天地作為期約兩年的公眾展覽，以推廣組裝合成建築法。模組於2025年完成公眾展覽後，部分組件將會被回收，作進一步研究等用途。此組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房除了在出入口安裝雙重門控制氣流之外，亦設有紫外光消毒雙重門傳遞箱，方便病人隨時接收房外物資的同時，盡量減少醫護人員進出病房的次數，降低病毒傳播的風險。此組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房的設計特點是不需外置大量風喉等的中央空調系統支援，以「機電裝備合成法」（MiMEP）內藏的通風空調自給自足形成所需的空氣流向設計，即空氣只會流入病房，不會從病房流出，得以有效控制感染。此組裝合成高規格負壓隔離病房的設計特點是不需外置大量風喉等的中央空調系統支援，以「機電裝備合成法」（MiMEP）內藏的通風空調自給自足形成所需的空氣流向設計，即空氣只會流入病房，不會從病房流出，得以有效控制感染。關於源栢樑教授、工程師源栢樑教授、工程師是一位專業工程師，他為香港醫療工程界服務四十年。早年在香港政府部門任職期間，源教授、工程師開始參與醫院的建造、營運和維護。目前，他在公營醫療機構負責監督醫院的工程設施設計及管理。他亦帶領環境及能源可持續發展方面的工作，涵蓋本港現有醫院、新建及擴建醫院項目。在對抗新冠肺炎疫情方面，他憑藉多年有關研究及設計和建設醫院通風系統設施的經驗，適時創新設計及改建醫院內病房為負壓病房包括亞博館社區治療設施，以應付公共醫療對隔離設施的急切需求。抗疫其間源教授更擔當政府「食肆換氣量規定工作小組」主席，在短短幾個月內為逾 18,000 家食肆改善通風，為社區的疫情防控帶來莫大裨益。他早年亦受世界衛生組織及聯合國項目事務邀請擔任專家顧問，數度到印尼為當地公立醫院建造隔離病房給予工程技術指導。源教授、工程師為「香港工程師學會」前任會長，現任香港「工程師註冊管理局」主席，「英國醫療工程學會」香港分會主席，以及「英國屋宇裝備工程師學會」前任副會長。源教授、工程師於二零二三年再度獲選為「國際工程技術士協定」副主席，並同時當選出任「首爾協議」主席，亦成為「國際工程聯盟」執委會成員。源教授、工程師積極參與全球各個國際工程專業組織及平台工作，為鞏固工程專業水平及推動工程界有更廣泛流動性作出不少貢獻，獲 「英國能源學會」頒授榮譽院士、及「英國醫療工程學會」終身成就奬，最近更獲得「英國屋宇裝備工程師學會」授予學會最高榮譽的金奬奬章，他亦已作為委員服務了「中國醫院協會」醫院建設分會接近二十年。在二零二零年，源教授獲香港特別行政區頒授「行政長官社會服務獎狀」，以表彰他於對抗新冠疫情所作出的傑出貢獻。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Dec 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong's healthcare engineering sectors have actively responded to the Hong Kong SAR Government's efforts to promote advanced and modern construction technologies for fostering efficient building construction practices. In 2020, the industry adopted the innovative “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC) technology, coupled with the “Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing” (MiMEP) construction method, to construct the world’s first high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module that could be assembled and deployed fast and easy. The module was repurposed for anti-epidemic use during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that year. After the pandemic, the negative-pressure isolation ward module was put on public display at the CIC-Zero Carbon Park in Kowloon Bay to promote the MiC construction method. When the about two-year display ends in 2025, parts of the module will be recycled for purposes including reuse and further research. The project has demonstrated the immense potential of innovative engineering technologies in serving public health needs and laid a solid foundation for modular design in constructing infectious disease isolation facilities.The engineering sector in Hong Kong putting all heads together, applying innovative thinking and technologies, contributed to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic raging in 2020. It took the industry only four months, starting from initial sketching to completing the project, to deliver in May 2020 a negative-pressure isolation ward meets hospital-grade standards, the first of its kind globally and was later hailed as the “Hong Kong version of Huoshenshan Hospital.” The facility exemplified the professionalism, innovative spirit, and rapid crisis response capabilities of Hong Kong’s engineering sector. Moreover, it has provided a significant reference model for the concerned global community in addressing similar events.The project used advanced MiC technology, plus the MiMEP construction method, which together significantly enhanced construction efficiency, shortening the entire construction cycle to just about a month. MiC technology enabled close to 80% of the construction process to be prefabricated in factories before being transported to the site for rapid assembly, adjustment, and testing. The approach not only drastically reduced on-site construction time, but also ensured high-quality standards and sustainability. Rigorous ventilation tests verified that the isolation ward could provide an effective negative-pressure environment, efficiently blocking the spread of highly infectious airborne viral particles. A distinctive feature of the design is it does not rely on a centralised air conditioning system with extensive external ventilation ducts. Instead, the MiMEP system's built-in ventilation and air conditioning provide a self-sufficient airflow design, effectively controlling infection. Given her limited land resources, Hong Kong needs designs that can fit into small spaces, and the project was then a “highly condensed design” unprecedented in the world.Ir Prof P L YUEN, Past President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), Past Vice President of the United Kingdom Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and Chairman of the Hong Kong Branch of the United Kingdom Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM), said, “Inspired by the country’s 'Huoshenshan' project at the time, we began exploring how to construct high-standard isolation wards for limited spaces. The design required interlocking double-door control to precisely regulate airflow. To ease transportation, using the dimensions like those of a standard shipping container in our blueprint was an ideal option. By integrating MiC and MiMEP construction methods, we achieved a self-sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning design for the ward, matching with a compact electrical and mechanical module to supply its power and other engineering services demand. That innovative design was also the world’s first at the time." Prof Yuen also shared this design with fellow engineers, fostering collaboration to construct more suitable isolation facilities.Professor Yuen added, "The successful project shows that engineering innovation has a vital role to play in addressing public health challenges. While this project has fulfilled its historical mission, it is not the end. I hope it will encourage wider adoption of the proven method, novel and efficient, in other advanced building projects, which the Government is keen to promote. Furthermore, I hope it will inspire more local engineers to embrace innovation and technology, and together show and tell the many success stories of Hong Kong engineering."Ir Prof P L Yuen, Past President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers(HKIE), Past Vice President of the United Kingdom Chartered Institution ofBuilding Services Engineers (CIBSE), and Chairman of the Hong Kong Branchof the United Kingdom Institute of Healthcare Engineering and EstateManagement (IHEEM), expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the engineeringsector for their unwavering support. Working as one, in 2020, , the industry adopted the advanced “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC) technology,coupled withthe “Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing” (MiMEP)construction method, to construct the world’s first high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module that could be assembled and deployed superfast, marking a groundbreaking achievement of Hong Kong’s engineering sector.The design of the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward featuresa self-sufficient airflow system enabled by the MiMEP construction method,that does not require a centralised air-conducting system withextensive external ventilation ducts. The built-in ventilation and air-conditioning system can effectively control infection by creating the necessary airflow path in the ward. Picture shows Prof Yuen conducting a smoke test showing air only flowing in one direction into the ward or being extracted through the ventilation system.Rigorous ventilation tests verified that the high-standard negative-pressureisolation ward can provide a high-quality negative-pressure environment,effectively blocking the transmission of highly infectious airborne particles to outside occupying areas.After the pandemic, the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module was put on an about two-year public display at the CIC-Zero CarbonPark in Kowloon Bay to promote the “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC)method. When the display ends in 2025, some components of the module willbe recycled for purposes including reuse and further research.In addition to the double interlocking door control systems installed at the entrances to regulate airflow, the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward is equipped with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection dual-door pass-through boxes to give patients convenience access to external supplieswhile minimising the need for medical staff to enter and exit the ward, assuch reduce viral transmission risks.The design of the ward eliminates the need for extensive external ventilation ducts or a centralised air-conditioning system. Instead, it utilises the self-sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning system coming with the MiMEP construction method that ensures a controlled only-into-the-ward airflow to effective prevent infection transmission.The design of the ward eliminates the need for extensive external ventilation ducts or a centralised air-conditioning system.

Dhaka, Bangladesh, Dec 23, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Summit Group, Bangladesh’s largest private sector power generation company, has issued clarifications in response to a recent draft of a government White Paper, and said it welcomes transparency and remains committed to the highest levels of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) in the country.Bangladesh media have reported widely on a draft of the ‘White Paper on the State of the Bangladesh Economy’ released in recent weeks by the interim government led by the Honourable Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus. The document said Bangladesh’s power and energy sector faced challenges such as excess capacity, dependence on imports of gas and under-development of domestic natural gas resources.Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the Singapore-registered parent of Summit Corporation Limited (“SCL”) – the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector – has responded to statements in White Paper which referred to SCL’s assets or subsidiaries.1) The draft White Paper referred to Summit Group as being one of the “selected large conglomerates” which enjoyed “exemptions on project income” and “exemption on income arising from power generation”.SPIL said these exemptions cited were part of a broader policy initiative that applied to the entire power and energy sector in the country. “The policy, i.e. Private Sector Power Generation Policy framed in 1996, designed to attract investment and meet Bangladesh’s critical energy needs, encompassed approximately 104 projects. These exemptions were not exclusive to Summit Group but were reflective of a sector-wide strategy to enhance Bangladesh’s energy capacity to ensure sustainable development,” SPIL said.2) The “Other Common Malpractice” section in the White Paper alleged that contract conditions were changed after it was awarded, and singled out the Summit Meghnaghat 335 dual fuel power plant for switching from heavy fuel oil (“HFO”) to high-speed diesel (“HSD”) without changing capacity payment or heat rate as an example.The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation, the supplier of energy oil, was unable to provide the specified oil under the original agreement and instead reached an understanding with the Bangladesh Power Development Board to supply alternative oil, SPIL said.“In order to maintain operations and fulfil its commitments, Summit Meghnaghat was obliged to accept this change but remains prepared to accept oil in accordance with the original tender conditions,” SPIL said.Through SCL, the Summit Group operates 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people.3) The White Paper listed Summit Power Limited among 83 companies listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange that had been “unfairly excluded” from certain regulatory activities, and said market rigging was endemic in the domestic equity market.“Summit Power Limited has always conducted its affairs with the highest levels of corporate governance. Its Board of Directors comprises eminent and well-respected corporate figures. At no time has the company ever engaged in market rigging,” SPIL said.4) Regarding Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (“FSRU”), which Summit Group operates, the White Paper alleged public funds were misused because Summit supplied LNG at a premium while natural gas reserves were available with the Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation (“Petrobangla”).SPIL said that Summit’s FSRU was not responsible for the supply of gas and, accordingly, has not imported or supplied any gas to date. The long-term supply contract signed between Summit Oil and Shipping Company Limited and Petrobangla was at the lowest price of all contracts awarded at the time, including for OQ Trading and Excelerate Energy (“Excelerate”). In any event, Summit has not yet imported any gas under the long-term supply contract.Further, Summit’s FSRU did not receive any special exemptions, and its daily tariff/charter rate is lower than that of the Moheshkhali Floating LNG owned by Excelerate, the only other FSRU in Bangladesh. The incentives referenced were part of an industry-wide framework that applies to both Excelerate and Summit’s FSRU projects.“As a responsible corporation with a track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, Summit Group has always respected and adhered to the laws of both Bangladesh, where SCL operates, as well as Singapore, where SPIL is domiciled,” SPIL said. “We are dedicated to contributing meaningfully to Bangladesh’s growth and prosperity. Our operations in Bangladesh have consistently adhered to all regulations, and we take pride in upholding the highest standards of integrity and governance,” SPIL said.“Being a dependable partner in nation building, we remain open to dialogue with all stakeholders,” it added. “We invite committee members preparing the White Paper to engage and seek clarification where needed. As a substantial foreign direct investor, the Summit Group has always conducted its affairs in a transparent manner while striving to support the long-term development of Bangladesh,” it added.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. Summit owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: www.summitpowerinternational.com Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688Email: summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Dec 20, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In today's fast-paced business world, writing a comprehensive business plan can feel overwhelming for entrepreneurs. However, with the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this process is becoming more efficient and accessible. This guide shows how to use AI tools to create a business plan for your idea.Think of AI as your digital assistant, speeding up the first draft so you have more time to make it better. AI gives you a structure, but your own ideas and understanding of your business makes the plan unique.Embrace AI in Business Planning - Before you begin, you should know what goes into a business plan: a summary of your business, details about your company and offerings, and information about your market and competitors. You may also consider creating plans for your business sales, management, operations, and finances.Gather all your business details first. This makes it easier for AI to help you turn them into a plan.Feeding Information to AI - Start by providing a general overview of your business, including its name, target market, products or services, and financial projections. GoDaddy is sharing a prompt template below that can be used to provide information:"I'm developing a business plan for my company, [company name], a [industry] startup offering [product/service]. Please accept the information below about my company as a basis for developing a strong business plan."Creating Sections with AI Help - Breaking your business plan into sections and using specific prompts for each can streamline the process. AI can generate initial drafts for each part, which you can then review and edit. Here are some prompts to help guide you:1. Summary and Company Description:- "As a successful entrepreneur and seasoned strategist, draft an enticing executive summary and company description for [company name] in the [industry] sector."2. Products and Services:- "As an innovative product developer, provide a comprehensive description of [product/service] offered by my company."3. Market Analysis:- "As a market analyst, outline a detailed market analysis for [company name]."4.

Financial Plan:"Develop a comprehensive financial overview and funding request for [company name], including income statements and sales forecasts."10. Extra Information:This is where you can add any extra details like research or visuals.Finalizing Your Plan - Once you have drafts for each part, it's time to make it all fit together nicely. Your business plan should clearly show what your business is about and its path to success.Getting Feedback from AI - After refining your draft, ask AI to check for any missing parts, mistakes or inconsistencies. This is a good time for AI to help create a summary, mission statement, vision, values, and value proposition to ensure alignment with your business goals.Make a One-Page Plan - Lastly, create a simple one-page version of your business plan. It should include all the important points and be easy to understand. This step ensures clarity and focus, making it easier to communicate your business strategy to stakeholders. Remember, while AI helps a lot, it does not replace the ingenuity and oversight of human input to help ensure your unique business ideas are being reflected in your plan.AI can be a helpful tool for creating and growing your business’ digital presence.
