The new edition is now available in a reader-friendly web format, featuring the most recent data and presented through concise and visually appealing infographics, making it easily accessible and enjoyable to read.
The report showcases the current development status of green building in Hong Kong, the key achievements of BEAM Plus, the Council’s strategic roadmap in leading the industry towards carbon neutrality, the growth of the green product market, as well as the latest capacity of green building practitioners, allowing the public to keep up with the evolving trends in Hong Kong's green building development.
