Green Performance Framework

[joint-technical-highlight.gif]
Joint Technical Circular No.5/2009 - Green Government Buildings

developed by Development Bureau and Environment Bureau, is aimed at promoting green building and improving green building design by using a comprehensive target-based green performance framework. All our existing government buildings and new construction projects will attain these assessment standards after April 2009.

As we are an environmentally responsible works agent for the development and maintenance of government facilities, we commit to take the lead in promoting green buildings in Hong Kong. In 2008, we contributed our green building experience and supported the Development Bureau and Environment Bureau to develop the Joint Technical Circular No.5/2009 - Green Government Buildings whose aim is to promote green building and improve green building design via a target-based green performance framework. This Circular becomes effective in April 2009 and covers all key aspects, including green building rating, energy saving, waste and water management and indoor air quality etc. For example, all new government buildings with a construction floor area of more than 10,000m2 should aim to obtain the second highest grade or above under an internationally or locally recognised building environmental assessment system such as LEED or BEAM.

Subsequent to this latest Joint Technical Circular, all existing government buildings and new construction projects will attain the required standards. These will include the Tamar Development and Kai Tak Cruise Terminal projects.
