Environment and Conservation Fund Green Building Education and Capacity Building Programmes - Micro-credential Topical Course (只提供英文版)
Funded by the Environment and Conservation Fund and organised by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), this micro-credential topical course series is designed to provide participants with more in-depth continuing education than traditional CPD webinars. It enables practitioners to construct weekend or after-hours study programmes that meet their development needs. Courses will be rolled out at a frequency of about 1-2 courses per month, throughout a period of two years from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2027. Participants taking 20 or more courses can apply for a skill enhancement certificate from HKGBC, certifying their significant efforts in studying green building.
Micro-credential Topical Course - Better Acoustic Performance for Buildings
This course aims to promote high standards of sound insulation in residential premises by leveraging the wealth of knowledge and practices from different regions, including the Chinese Mainland, the UK, and the Hong Kong SAR.
