Abstract

The significant impacts that buildings have on the environment are well documented. Large buildings in Asian cities are usually high-rise, air-conditioned, and densely populated. External noise, ambient air pollution, solar glare and heat gain, high relative humidity, and seriously inclement weather offer major challenges to building design teams. In places like Hong Kong much needs to be done to improve environmental performance, not least in terms of energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality. The authors have been collaborating in the development of the Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-BEAM), covering new and existing office buildings, and new high-rise residential buildings. Various surveys and interaction with building industry professionals has highlighted the many disincentives and barriers to improved performance for those who procure, design, build and operate buildings. This paper describes the HK-BEAM scheme, its application, and development in circumstances that do not encourage greater participation.
