The Kai Tak Sports Park is Hong Kong’s largest sports infrastructure development, designed to be a world-class destination for sports, entertainment, and community engagement. Located on the former Kai Tak Airport site, the 28-hectare complex includes a 50,000-seat main stadium, a 10,000-seat indoor arena, a 5,000-seat sports ground, and extensive retail and leisure facilities.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental innovation, the project incorporates the Monodraught Windcatcher natural ventilation system, supplied and supported by Delta Pyramax, the exclusive distributor of Monodraught in Hong Kong.

Monodraught Windcatcher – Sustainable Ventilation Solution

The Windcatcher is a passive ventilation system that captures and distributes fresh air throughout indoor spaces without the use of mechanical fans. In the Kai Tak Sports Park, Windcatchers are strategically integrated to:

• Enhance natural airflow and thermal comfort in selected public and semi-enclosed areas

• Reduce energy consumption by minimizing reliance on mechanical ventilation

• Support the project’s green building and ESG objectives

By utilizing Windcatcher technology, the Kai Tak Sports Park sets a benchmark for sustainable design in large-scale public infrastructure, aligning with Hong Kong’s vision for a low-carbon future.
