Green Schools 2.0 - Energy Smart - Support Scheme on Replacement of Inverter Air-Conditioners, LED Lighting and Installation of Real-time Energy Monitoring Systems for Schools

1. “Green Schools 2.0 - Energy Smart” was commenced by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (“Government”) in 2020 to subsidize and assist primary and secondary schools (except Government and profit-making schools) to replace existing air-conditioners with variable-speed air-conditioners (“VSAC”), convert existing fluorescent lighting / incandescent floodlights into LED lighting / LED floodlights, and install real-time energy monitoring systems (“RTEMs”) at their premises.

2. The Government subsidized 300 nos. of school via this scheme and the corresponding energy upgrading works were completed in March 2025. We will continue to promote the use of energy efficient systems and innovative technologies in schools to encourage the development of environmentally awareness among students.
