The event was officially kicked off by Mr. Edward Yau Tang-wah, Secretary for the Environment. At the opening ceremony, Mr. Yau and Prof. Lawrence J. Lau, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, presented a number of awards to buildings that have made outstanding achievements in energy saving. The awardees included the winners of the Energy Saving Incentive Scheme, and the Energy and Water Saving Contest for Student Hostels. Mr. Yau and Prof. Lau also presented a Certificate of Commendation to 27 student hostels that are fitted with evacuated tube solar collectors. By using solar heated water for showers, these hostels promote the use of renewable energy. The officiating guests also visited a hostel, Adam Schall Residence, to symbolically power on the solar water heater system on its rooftop. The solar hot water system for the student hostels was funded by the University Grants Committee. CUHK installed the system for the first time at Cheung Chuk Shan Amenities Building as early as 2004, becoming the first local university to use this system. The initiative was later extended to the University Sports Centre. Environmental Week is aimed at raising the environmental awareness of staff and students, and encouraging them to live an eco-friendly life. The event comprised exhibitions, film discussion sessions, and the launch of a five-year Community Afforestation Scheme which aims to plant over 10,000 seedlings on Grassy Hill, Taipo, to green the area and prevent wildfires. 其中一所學生宿舍所用的太陽能真空熱導管 Evacuated tube solar collectors at a student hostel
