中大太陽能熱水器系統啟動儀式於湯若望宿舍舉行
中大是香港首間安裝太陽能熱水器的大學，第一套熱水器於二零零四年在聯合書院張祝珊師生康樂大樓安裝，除有助於大學奪得首屆香港能源效益奬的大專院校組的金奬外，一直廣受大學及各界人士推崇，印證了書院對於保護環境的努力和成就。
書院獲大學撥款委員會撥款，於二零零七年暑假期間，在本院三座學生宿舍湯若望宿舍、伯利衡宿舍及恆生樓安裝太陽能熱水器，以潔淨無污染的可再生能源，提供淋浴用的熱水，有助於保護環境。三座宿舍合共安裝二百四十九塊太陽能板，總儲水容量達二萬二千五百公升，預計每年節省約港幣十七萬五千元的電費開支，每年減少二氧化碳總排量約一百二十四噸。
另二零零七年大學環保週開幕典禮暨太陽能熱水器系統啟動儀式於二零零七年十月十八日分別假祖堯堂及聯合書院湯若望宿舍天台舉行，蒙香港特別行政區政府環境局局長邱騰華先生及校長劉遵義教授蒞臨主禮。邱騰華局長更頒發節能獎激勵計劃「最佳節能百分比成就獎」予得獎單位聯合書院胡忠多媒體圖書館及書院宿舍慳水、慳電比賽優勝宿舍單位恆生樓。 他並向利用「真空熱導管式太陽能熱水器系統」的學生宿舍頒發表揚證書。逾六十位大學要員、教職員、同學及嘉賓參加於湯宿天台舉行的太陽能熱水器系統啟動儀式。
CUHK Solar Panel Systems Kick-off Ceremony held at Adam Schall Residence
United College has been a pioneer in the use of renewable energy. While CUHK is the first university in Hong Kong to have a solar hot water system, the first set was installed at the Cheung Chuk Shan Amenities Building in 2004. It has been well received by the University as well as the public, and helped the University win a gold medal in the first Hong Kong Energy Efficiency Awards.
With support received from the University Grants Committee, solar-powered water heaters were installed in the showers of 3 of the College student hostels, Adam Schall Residence, Bethlehem Hall and Hang Seng Hall during the summer of 2007. There are 249 solar panels installed in three hostels and the total storage volume of solar water tanks is 22500 litres. It is estimated that the annual cost saving in electricity will be approximately HK$175,000 while the reduction of carbon dioxide emission reaches 124 tons.
Furthermore, the Opening Ceremony of The Environmental Protection Week 2007 and Solar Panel Systems Kick-off Ceremony was held on 18 October 2007 at Cho Yiu Hall and the rooftop of Adam Schall Residence, United College respectively. The Honorable Edward Yau Tang Wah, JP, Secretary for the Environment, The Government of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Professor Lawrence J Lau, Vice-Chancellor of the University officiated the ceremony. The Honorable Edward Yau presented prizes to the Energy Saving Campaign's Winners, including United College Wu Chung Multimedia Library and United College Hang Seng Hall. He also presented a certificate of commendation to the student hostels that are fitted with evacuated tube solar collectors. More than 60 university officers, staff, students and guests joined the ceremonies at Roof Top, Adam Schall Residence.
