Offices at the APB Centre and QGO represent a majority of total ArchSD office space. The percentage of electricity consumption of the whole premises for the ArchSD office at the APB Centre and QGO is assumed to be 100% and 20% respectively.

[2]

CO2 emissions intensity of CLP Power and HK Electric from 2020 to 2024 were used for the ArchSD office at the APB Centre and QGO respectively.

[3]

Energy-saving is calculated by considering green and low-carbon design features, e.g. building envelope, building services systems and renewable energy technologies, adopted in projects.

[4]

‘Third-party standards’ refers to BEAM Plus certified by the Hong Kong Green Building Council.
