Explanatory Notes:

- = data not collected / not available
HKCI = Hong Kong Construction Industry

(1) The total floor area of the APB Centre is approx. 10,340m2.
(2) Figures based on calculated data available from design projects approved by ArchSD at the Stage 3 Detailed Design Phase.
(3) Figures compiled based on the data of project completion for new works and the date of issue for the works order for refurbishment projects.
(4) Figures calculated based on the projected savings due to the use of energy saving building services equipment.
(5) Figures based on the number of projects under design and construction.
(6) Figures include consumption of A4-size office paper, A3-size office paper, computer paper, plotting drawing paper, plotting tracing paper, printing drawing paper and envelopes.
(7) Figure for 2002 has been revised from 177.2 to 290 tonnes to add back paper consumption of printing drawing paper.
(8) CO2 emission equivalents are calculated based on a conversion factor of 0.44kg CO2 per kWh.
(9) A non-fatal reportable accident is defined as an accident that results in incapacity for more than 3 days.
(10) Target achievement for 2002 and 2003 include environmental targets under the ISO 14001 system and quality targets under the ISO 9001 system. Whilst the targets achievement for 2001 includes environmental targets only.
