HKZCP Seminar cum PPR Forum
Time: 1:30pm – 5:30pm, Thursday 28 April 2016
Location: Wang Gungwu Theatre, Graduate House, The University of Hong Kong
Organised by: Centre for Innovation in Construction and Infrastructure Development (CICID) of The University of Hong Kong
Co-organised by: Construction Industry Council (CIC), Zero Carbon Building (ZCB)
Introduction:
The zero carbon building approach has been adopted in many countries as a government strategy for addressing climate change. It is also realised to be important to adopt socio-technical systems in policy making and stakeholder engagement in order to achieve zero carbon of buildings. This event is part of two research projects: Hong Kong Zero Carbon Partnership funded by the Construction Industry Council (CIC), and Hong Kong Zero Carbon Building Public Policy Research funded by the Central Policy Unit (CPU) of the HKSAR Government. The Partnership project aims to help position Hong Kong as a world-class knowledge-based, innovation-driven and multi-stakeholder-engaged hub for zero carbon building in urban environments. The Partnership has also attracted support from a wide range of stakeholder groups covering the demand, supply, regulation and institution aspects of buildings. The policy research aims to examine the opportunities, risks and recommendations for establishing a possible zero carbon building policy for Hong Kong. The event will feature renowned international and local speakers to share the state-of-the-art research, practice, policy and partnership for low or zero carbon buildings, and enable a continuous dialogue on our journey towards zero carbon and sustainability.
