To have been elected as your President for the current session 2010-2012 carries with me not only a great honour, but also a great challenge when we are in the very midst of a world conscious of the urgent need to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases. First of all, I would like to thank the past Presidents and Boards of Directors through their dedication and self-less toil in undertaking the various assortment of duties they have taken up for the Association, our members and for the general public. Building on the foundation of their past achievements, it would provide for our current Board of Directors a smoother path to continue the achievement of our mission.

We would sustain, strengthen and develop our bond with our partners, whether they be from the government, sister associations or institutions, academia, community organisations or general members of the public, involved in energy efficiency in buildings not just in building services, electrical and mechanical aspects, but also in all manners of achieving green building design, construction, operation and maintenance especially those connected with our existing buildings where further significant energy efficiency and conservation results could be achieved in Hong Kong. Through this we hope to afford greater participation of our Association with the energy related work in Hong Kong. In so doing we could bring to our members the ample opportunity in continuation of adding value to their professional work in the energy related fields. We would also continue to foster existing links and to develop a wider spectrum of knowledge-based and practical courses, site visits, trends in current energy technologies, and experience sharing with related professionals both within and those outside of Hong Kong.

I would wish you all to continue to have a rewarding experience with the Association and would ask you to join in our coming activities and events.

Yours sincerely,

Ronald S. Chin
President
The Hong Kong Association of Energy Engineers
(Session 2010-2012)
