[Video Recording Recap]
[Presentation slides]

Speaker: Mr. Stephen K M LEUNG, JP

CPD hours: 1.5 hours

Synopsis

The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) undertakes a wide range of green initiatives in support of sustainable development in public housing developments. Among them, HKHA has developed an in-house design verification tool known as Carbon Emission Estimation (CEE) and has been adopting it in all public housing development projects since 2011. This tool uses a Life Cycle Assessment framework to estimate the Greenhouse Gas emissions in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) of a public housing block over its expected life cycle of 100 years from construction to demolition, i.e. from cradle to grave.  CEE covers six key aspects, namely Material used during construction, Material used for structure, Energy use during a life-cycle of 100 years, Demolition and off-sets from Renewable Energy and Tree planting. It facilitates benchmarking of emission level in all new public housing projects, setting of achievable goals for improvements as well as targets towards carbon neutrality.
