We are delighted that the BEAM Plus green building label, Hong Kong’s comprehensive and voluntary environmental assessment scheme, is officially launched on 1st April 2010.
The new version of BEAM Plus (2009 version), recognized by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), helps owners to make use of one assessment methodology with all good practices in planning, design, construction, management, operation and maintenance of buildings, and is aligned with relevant local and international standards to demonstrate the overall qualities of a building, be it a new or refurbished building, or one that is in use.
In the process of refining the BEAM Plus certification process, further details will be announced shortly.
