Programme Highlights
The HKSAR government has targeted to reduce the building energy
intensity by 40% in 2025 and the carbon intensity by 50-60% in 2020. Developing
energy-efficient and low-carbon buildings is considered as an important
direction to achieve the governmental goals for substantial energy conservation
and carbon emission reduction. In this seminar, the speaker will share an
integrated approach for designing energy-efficient and low-carbon green
buildings in the high-rise urban environment, taking into consideration of
operation energy and carbon from daily usage as well as embodied energy and
carbon from construction materials. Case studies on application of the proposed
approach for low carbon materials, structural form designs, and operation energy
savings will be shared during the session.
