Zero Carbon Building

摘要

In order to combat the increasing pressure from climate change, the Hong Kong Government has proposed targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. Buildings are the major contributor to GHG emissions in Hong Kong and are therefore both a challenge as well as an opportunity for GHG emissions reduction. One of the functions of Construction Industry Council (CIC) is to promote good practices in the construction industry in relation to environmental protection, sustainable construction and other areas conducive to improving construction quality. On this basis, CIC, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Government, is developing the first zero carbon building in Hong Kong.
