Carbon Emission Evaluation –
Architectural Design Verification for Domestic Building
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA), being one of the biggest
public sector developers and flat owners in the HKSAR with a public
rental housing stock of about 720,000 flats and annual production
of around 15,000 flats, is committed to green design for the good
of the environment. The HKHA has been making endeavours to
enhance energy efficiency in new project development through the
careful use of materials to reduce the total life cycle cost. In 2011,
the HKHA has pioneered in devising a carbon emission estimation
methodology to gauge the project at scheme design stage. This is
a tailor-made Carbon Emission Estimation (CEE) model together
with benchmark figures for HKHA buildings as an architectural
design verification tool. The model focuses on the methodology
in assessing major aspects of construction materials and building
operations which have implication on carbon emission, reduction
and absorption from cradle to grave for a building life of 100 years.
碳排放量估算的設計驗證工具
香港房屋委員會(房委會)，作為最大的公共房屋發展商，公
屋存量約72萬單位，每年生產約15,000個單位，致力推動綠
色設計和減少碳排放。房委會不斷提高現有建築物的能源效
率和實施本地建築物能源效率守則，以及撰用降低生命週期
成本的建築材料。在2011年，房委會率先制訂碳排放量估算
方法，在設計階段估算新的公共房屋發展的整體碳排放量。
這研究是一個關於碳排放量估算(CEE)的計算模型及房委會作
對比設計的建築物基準數字。該計算模型以建築物100年的
壽命為根據，考慮了建築材料和建築工程的碳排放量，以及
在生命週期中對碳排、減碳和吸收碳排的影響。
