EVENT
>> The 11th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Conference on Building Operation and Maintenance
The technical paper authored by Ir Dr Paul SAT – which was titled "Using Operational Data to Assess the Energy Performance of Existing Commercial Buildings for Facilitating the Achievement of Long-Term Energy/Carbon Reduction Targets" – sheds light on the importance of reducing operational carbon emissions through energy-saving measures such as replacement, retrofitting, and retro-commissioning (RCx). The paper underscores the need for the development of an assessment platform that enables continuous monitoring and reporting of energy performance improvements to building owners, thereby promoting a series of energy-saving initiatives.
By providing insights and recommendations on energy performance assessments and improvements, the paper underscores the HKGBC's commitment to promoting sustainable development in the building industry. The research presented in the paper serves as a valuable resource for building owners, professionals, and stakeholders, encouraging them to implement energy-saving measures and contribute to the long-term goal of achieving energy and carbon reduction targets. By disseminating valuable research and practical insights, the Council continues to play a vital role in helping Hong Kong’s building industry decarbonise and advance towards net zero.
