CPD Webinar - Green Buildings - Macau’s and Hong Kong’s Perspectives

The webinar recording will be available at HKGBC CPD Online Training Portal (https://onlinecpdtraining.hkgbc.org.hk/) later after the event.

This webinar is jointly organised by Architects Association of Macau (AAM) and Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC).


Both Hong Kong and Macau are China’s special administrative regions with divergent building characteristics but they share a common goal of striving for a low-carbon future in the building construction and real estate sector. 

To foster cross-regional exchange of knowledge and best practices, the Architects Association of Macau (AAM) and the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) are delighted to hold this joint webinar in which we will share with the audience the key characteristics of the two regions’ green building markets including government requirements, voluntary rating tools and other driving forces, the current state of green building, the latest green building technology and techniques, as well as the challenges faced by the industry.

Information Highlights:

For Macau, the Speaker will introduce the current situation, strategies and guidelines for sustainable development in Macau, as well as an introduction to the green labels and related assessment projects adopted. The Speaker also invited Professor Zheng Jianyi, director of the Architecture Course at the School of Humanities and Arts at Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST), to share a case - Energy consumption analysis and sustainable development of high-density campus buildings of MUST. The contents include the basic characteristics, energy consumption status and green building renovation of MUST campus buildings, and attempts to use energy consumption indicators per class hour to compare the energy consumption status of different buildings, analyse its causes and provide sustainable improvement suggestions.


As for Hong Kong, the Speaker will begin by introducing the general state of the construction industry including the volume and types of works and common building characteristics.  Then the gross floor area (GFA) concession incentive and mandatory green building requirements in land auctions will be introduced.  As for voluntary rating tools, the Speaker will delve into the family of rating tools derived by Hong Kong, namely BEAM Plus, and touch on other driving factors.  Some interesting statistics about green buildings in Hong Kong will be presented.  The Speaker will then describe a basket of the latest green technologies and finish with an overview of challenges faced by the industry.
