🐷🚀Hey Planet Heroes! Just as you save electricity, water, recycle, and more, buildings can be eco-friendly too! Smart and green buildings are designed to be self-sufficient and environmentally friendly.
Ever wondered what makes a building “green” in Hong Kong? Introducing some common green building certifications:
✅BEAM Plus: This is Hong Kong’s own green building standard. It covers everything from energy use to indoor environmental quality. The Hong Kong Science Park is a great example of a BEAM Plus certified building. 🏢
✅LEED: The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is internationally recognized. It focuses on energy efficiency, water usage, and sustainable materials. The One in Tsim Sha Tsui is a notable LEED certified building. 🌏
✅HKGB: The Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGB) promotes green building practices and provides certifications. Buildings like the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre showcase HKGB standards for sustainability.
Green buildings use less energy and water, reduce waste, and have a lower impact on the environment, and help us identify these eco-friendly buildings. They ensure that buildings meet high standards for sustainability and performance.
By choosing green buildings or supporting them, we’re all helping create a cleaner, healthier planet. Let’s keep pushing for more green spaces in our city, while making our exisitng building more green by completeing utility saving missions and recycling missions on ZERO2!
