At AtkinsRéalis, we've developed a unique approach using digital twin energy models to identify and verify energy-saving opportunities for aged buildings. Built on a BIM platform and validated against international codes using actual electricity bills, these models enable us to simulate building performance and pinpoint areas of wasted energy – all before any physical changes are made, ensuring every investment delivers tangible results.
This method has helped over 60 Hong Kong government buildings and two university campuses achieve a typical energy savings of 5-10% with minimal capital investment. It's one of many powerful examples of how we can accelerate Asia's energy transition.

Achieving real energy savings with minimal investment
Across Asia's dense urban landscapes, like Hong Kong, with its mix of new and aged buildings. Many aged buildings were built with limited consideration for energy efficiency and lack systems for monitoring consumption. Retrofitting these buildings is essential – but doing so effectively and affordably requires smarter ways to plan and validate change.
At AtkinsRéalis, we've developed a unique approach using digital twin energy models to identify and verify energy-saving opportunities for aged buildings. Built on a BIM platform and validated against international codes using actual electricity bills, these models enable us to simulate building performance and pinpoint areas of wasted energy – all before any physical changes are made, ensuring every investment delivers tangible results.
This method has helped over 60 Hong Kong government buildings and two university campuses achieve a typical energy savings of 5-10% with minimal capital investment. It's one of many powerful examples of how we can accelerate Asia's energy transition.
Building the Global Gateway, Creating a Vibrant and Connected City
At AtkinsRéalis, our global expertise, with a local delivery model, enables us to bring transformative ideas from around the world and tailor them to Asia's unique urban environment. Across the region, this synergy unlocks new possibilities – from reimagining international airports to reshaping city districts. By drawing on our network of future-ready planners, engineers, and designers, we deliver integrated solutions with purpose: to improve society's quality of life and ensure whatever we build lasts for future generations.
This is the value proposition approach we're taking with Skytopia in Hong Kong. The Airport Authority's vision is bold and full of potential. This development will create a destination where travel, culture, tourism, and business converge – a key driver for economic growth. As their long-term consultant, AtkinsRéalis is proud to support this ambition. Our global network of planners and engineers is on hand to deliver future-ready solutions.
Skytopia demonstrates what the future demands: innovative buildings and places, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and seamless transportation infrastructure – all working effortlessly together to create a thriving, vibrant, sustainable, and connected city – a true gateway to endless opportunities.
Fueling Hong Kong with Clean Energy and Smarter Waste Solutions
As cities across Asia rethink how they power and sustain themselves, Hong Kong is stepping forward with bold, innovative solutions – despite land constraints and rising energy demands. With no space for nuclear plants, the city's transition away from coal and gas depends on importing power from nearby regions. That's where technologies like high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission become vital – and it's an area where AtkinsRéalis brings unique expertise.
We've delivered major nuclear clean power and HVDC projects in Canada, the UK, and the Middle East. By combining that global expertise with our local teams in Hong Kong, we create solutions that reflect international best practice while meeting local requirements. This global-local integration gives our clients confidence that their transition is both ambitious and achievable.
We're also helping to deliver Hong Kong's largest waste-to-energy facility, which will reduce carbon emissions. Instead of sending municipal waste to landfill, the facility will convert waste to electricity for the community – reducing the number of waste trucks on the roads, cutting pollution, and contributing to a more sustainable city. It's a transformative step toward creating a better environment where future generations can thrive.
At AtkinsRéalis, we're delivering more than buildings – we're engineering resilient, future-proof, sustainable places. Explore our capabilities and see how our clients achieve more than the status quo.
