Introduction of the Scheme
To minimise noise nuisance to nearby residents during domestic renovation, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) is rolling out a two-year pilot scheme to test out the application of quiet renovation in Hong Kong. Under the pilot scheme, quiet renovation equipment and good practices will be introduced through a series of seminars, site demonstrations, along with a free quiet renovation equipment rental scheme in order to raise awareness and promote the use of such equipment.

Objectives
- To introduce quiet renovation equipment and methods for Building Management sectors, Owners' Corporations, owners' committees, Mutual Aid Committees, Trade / Labour Associations, etc to mitigate renovation noise nuisance and collect information on the adopted house rules in Hong Kong.
- To publish a Technical Reference Guide on quiet equipment for property management and relevant stakeholders to demonstrate the use of quiet renovation equipment for different types of renovation works.
- To offer site demonstrations, seminars, workshops to promote quiet renovation equipment to interested parties.
- To develop a web-based knowledge-sharing platform, providing reference on house rules, management guidelines and information about quiet renovation equipment.
