The Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) will hold the HKGBC Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme Launching Ceremony on 26 September 2023 (Tuesday).
This Certification Scheme forms part of the HKGBC Climate Change Framework for Built Environment, launched in June 2023. It proposes a path for commercial buildings to achieve a Zero-Carbon-Ready rating by 2050, with the goal of supporting diverse sectors in improving the built environment collaboratively towards carbon neutrality and decarbonisation.
Under the Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme, the Energy Performance Certification, Target Setting Certification, and Progress Certification are based on data-driven calculations. Building owners can use this tool to evaluate the performance of their buildings, set energy targets and pathways, and track a building’s progress on their pathway to carbon neutrality. It is intended to act as a practical tool for the industry in the development of energy-efficient and low-carbon buildings.
