· Transport Energy Consumption Survey 2002
MVA is currently undertaking a 14-month study commissioned by the Electrical Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) to better understand the existing energy consumption patterns of public and private buses as well as medium and heavy goods vehicles in Hong Kong. The research involves an extensive primary data collection exercise to ascertain a bottom-up perspective of fuel consumption levels in Hong Kong, using intercept face-to-face interviews and travel diary surveys.
· Hong Kong Energy End-use Database Factorisation Analysis and Development of Energy Models
MVA is currently undertaking a major technical study for EMSD involving factorisation analysis and energy modelling/forecasting. The Study includes as a major task the identification of the effects of major factors affecting historical energy consumption data of Hong Kong as contained in the energy end?use database, through the application of appropriate factorisation methodologies. A key objective of the analysis is to gauge the overall energy savings due to energy efficiency improvements. Another part of the Study endeavors to develop energy forecasting models at sector and segment levels for electricity and fuel at final consumption level, for the purposes of facilitating longer term planning (up to 30 years) in the energy sector of Hong Kong.
· Development of Household Energy Consumption Econometric Model for Hong Kong
MVA carried out a major study, commissioned by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) to develop an econometric model to formulate energy use intensity and other energy efficiency indices for major household appliances. This 7-month study included a household survey to collect up-to-date information on energy consumption and appliance data and involved successfully enumerating 1,600 households through face-to-face interviews with a minimum response rate of 70%.
· Development of Energy Consumption Indicators for Transport Sector - Benchmarking Face-to-Face Interviews & Travel Diary Survey
MVA, as part of a multi-disciplinary team of consultants, undertook an eighteen month study commissioned by the Electrical Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) to better understand the existing energy consumption patterns in Hong Kong and the extent to which energy-efficient equipment is used. MVA led the in-depth research on the Transport Sector, focusing on private and light goods vehicles. The research involved conducting an international survey to report on the efforts, initiatives, indicators and benchmarks used in other countries, as well as a vehicle manufacturers survey to review manufacturers expected energy consumption levels. As part of this study, MVA undertook an extensive primary data collection exercise to ascertain a bottom-up perspective of fuel consumption levels in Hong Kong, using intercept face-to-face interviews and travel diary surveys.
