Solar Studio · Hong Kong

Two International Finance Centre.
From platinum operations to a productive envelope.

Two IFC already operates as a LEED Platinum financial-district asset. Sydsol’s role is not to add another green badge; it is to turn part of the building’s highly visible southern and western envelope into physical generation infrastructure.

Read the building

Make sustainability tangible on Hong Kong’s financial skyline.

Two IFC sits at the centre of Hong Kong’s financial district, where asset quality and credibility matter. A productive façade makes sustainability physical, measurable and visible on the building itself — renewable infrastructure embedded in one of the city’s most recognisable commercial addresses.

What the building envelope could deliver

Qualified roof and façade surfaces are screened against the same energy and commercial assumptions used throughout this case study.

— Annual generation
— Annual energy value
— Modelled payback
— Grid-equivalent CO₂
— Installed solar area
— Project LCOE

Grid-equivalent CO₂ is modelled using the local grid factor. Actual market-based emissions impact depends on the building’s electricity procurement and renewable-energy contracts.

Energy & economics

Monthly electricity & LCOE

See how electricity generation and equivalent energy cost change through the year as solar resource, orientation and shading shift.

Monthly electricity & LCOE

Generation through the day

The southern envelope is broad enough to matter.

Southeast and southwest surfaces together provide more than half of modelled annual generation, with northwest, roof and east adding meaningful secondary contributions.

A productive envelope for a financial-district landmark.

Where the electricity comes from

The generation mix is south-led but not dependent on one façade. That gives the project enough breadth to select surfaces around architecture, visibility and commercial thresholds.

Already

Platinum-level operations are already established.

SHKP reports Two IFC as a LEED O+M Platinum building and has continued to use certification and technology to improve performance across its portfolio.

Next standard

Turn the financial-district icon into a generation asset.

A selective façade project creates tangible on-site renewable infrastructure at one of Hong Kong’s most recognisable commercial addresses.

Asset credibility

Turn performance credentials into visible infrastructure.

The next step can be physical: renewable generation integrated directly into the asset.

Institutional audience

The result is visible to capital and occupiers.

A physical generation layer gives sustainability teams something tied directly to the asset rather than a distant energy contract.

Solar Studio result

The southern envelope is broad enough to matter.

Southeast and southwest are the two largest contributors, with northwest, roof and east adding secondary output. The opportunity is diversified but clearly south-led.

The Solar Studio advantage

We model the building.
Then we follow the sun.

Solar Studio reveals the energy potential hidden across an entire building envelope — not just the roof. It combines advanced 3D solar simulation with the commercial metrics asset owners need to make a decision.

01

Advanced 3D building model

We recreate the building and its urban surroundings so the analysis reflects the real geometry of the façade, roof and neighbouring skyline.

02

Sunlight, tracked all year

Advanced ray-tracing follows sunlight through every hour of the day and every season of the year, revealing how solar access changes across the envelope.

03

A true shading profile

Nearby towers, setbacks and the building itself are captured in a detailed shading profile, separating consistently productive surfaces from those that spend too much time in shadow.

04

From solar potential to business case

We translate the solar opportunity into generation, energy savings, carbon reduction and payback — turning a complex façade into a clear investment picture.

Beyond rooftop solar

See where the building can generate, when that energy arrives, and which surfaces create the strongest commercial value.

These inputs define the Two International Finance Centre case study and can be changed for a building-specific assessment.

Assumptions & inputsOpen to review the model settings

Indicative feasibility assessment. Results support early-stage decision making and should be followed by site, structural, electrical and façade-engineering review before project development.
