Addressed in the Process of
Sustainable Development
Sustainable development demands
comprehensive consideration of
fast-evolving design philosophies,
technologies, construction practices and
management in cross-disciplinary and related
issues. Synergies have been established
in knowledge transfer and advancements
by multi-disciplinary professional institutes
to equip building professionals with the
right skills. Hong Kong’s unique model
of sustainability is served by diverse
range of measures, including innovative
technologies, green building materials, green
transportation strategies, smart building
controls, sustainable urban infrastructure and First commercial project awarded BEAM Plus New Building Final Platinum Rating in 2013:
Hysan Place
sustainable city planning.
To facilitate in-depth and cross-sector
discussion, and to help forge
consensus-building in the community, the
Council for Sustainable Development engages
stakeholders and the public on a number of key
issues regarding a SBE. Recommendations
have been proposed to promote systemic and
legislative enhancements and to facilitate
behaviour change in various aspects of
SBE. Relevant government departments or
stakeholders have also taken action on those
recommendations.
