Situated in Hong Kong Science Park, InnoCell was a pilot project using Modular Integrated Construction (“MiC”) in Hong Kong. MiC refers to an innovative construction method that adopts Design for Manufacturing and Assembly technology to allow pre-fabrication in a factory environment followed by on-site installation of building elements. With the application of MiC, the project shortened the construction program, improved the quality of the fit-out, reduced reworking and wastage, and resolved construction problems in advance. This also improved design coordination and work planning, thereby optimizing construction safety, time, and cost.
In the MiC project, AEC was engaged to carry out consultancy services in green building, acoustic design, and environmental assessment throughout the development. We played a key role as BEAM Professionals providing green building certification consultancy services, which assisted InnoCell in achieving the Provisional Platinum rating under BEAM Plus NB V1.2.
