Promoting Retrofitting in the Greater Bay Area and Around the World
As a part of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), the Council has joined hands with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) to enhance building energy efficiency in the region. In November 2022, the HKGBC signed the “Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) on Building Energy Saving Retrofits in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” with the EMSD and five professional organisations in the region and other Mainland cities, with the aim of gathering experience and expertise in retrofitting and to build a greener GBA together. Representatives of these organisations also extended their support and congratulations at the launch ceremony of the “HKGBC Retrofitting Guidebook”.
Furthermore, the Council announced that the guidebook would be released in over 70 regions by local green building councils, signifying Hong Kong’s leading position in driving the development of a sustainable built environment in the global arena. Let’s work together to expedite a low-carbon transformation around the globe!
