With the emission benchmarks established, we can improve designs to reduce carbon emissions and increase the overall sustainability of housing developments. Since February 2011, we have adopted carbon emission estimation for the six aspects above during the design phase of all new public housing projects.
Case Study: Carbon Reduction in New Developments. The HA aims to design, construct and manage housing developments that contribute to the Hong Kong government’s policy to reduce carbon emissions and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. We aim to obtain BEAM Plus certification for all our new developments achieving gold rating standard or ...

Since 2004, we have been conducting Air Ventilation Assessment (AVA) and micro-climate studies in our design of new public housing developments to assess their impact on the neighbourhood environment using design tools such as computational fluid dynamic model and wind tunnel testing. Through these studies, we can optimise the environmental perform...
We apply the Carbon Emission Estimation (CEE) method to estimate carbon dioxide emissions from buildings throughout their expected 100-year life cycle. This methodology enables the establishment of the benchmarks of emission level for a housing block and a housing estate throughout the project cycle stages to facilitate comparison and to set achiev...
We have increased our utilisation of green materials such as Ground Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). As part of our current building contracts, we require that 35% of the cement used to produce precast facades and stairs be replaced by GGBS. We are also investigating the feasibility of using GGBS to build precast hard paving, partition walls and...
We have developed various standards to better manage our innovative and environmentally friendly practices during the construction stage, such as:
The HA has installed electric vehicles (EV) charging facilities in all new estate car parks to support the Government's Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles. In our new indoor private car parks, 30% of parking spaces are equipped with EV chargers, while the remaining 70% are provided with EV charging-enabling facilities for future EV char...
The Buildings Department issued “Guidelines on the Design and Construction Requirement for Energy Efficiency of Residential Buildings” (the Guidelines) in 2014. Following the Guidelines, we continue to improve natural ventilation and environmental performance in our new buildings. We also follow the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EM...
Fresh water is used in new building construction, daily washing, flushing, and irrigation. We have adopted several measures in our new projects, such as using 6-litre dual flush water-closet suites in domestic premises to fulfil the water efficiency grading. We support the government’s water conservation campaign by assisting and facilitating WSD’s...
To optimise the use of resources, felled trees are recycled at some of our developments. We set up on-site shredding and composting to reuse fallen trees as mulch. Some trees are chipped and composted with food and garden trash. We continue to engage the local community in our greening efforts. Tenants are invited to join our Action Seedling progra...
Buildings near roads will be affected by traffic noise. We used acoustic windows, acoustic balconies, architectural fins and noise barriers in buildings to meet site-specific requirements. The second generation of precast acoustic balconies include a sliding screen in front of the balcony doors, noise-absorbing material in the balcony wall and ceil...
To remove air pollutants, filters are installed in our contractors’ plants and machines. The HA also phased out 4 types of Exempted Non-Road Mobile Machinery in our construction sites with estimated value over $200 million in line with the Development Bureau’s implementation plan.
The HA endeavours to enhance the resilience and sustainability of our housing to cope with all kinds of environmental challenges. Over the past 20 years, we have been designing our buildings in a sustainable way, which empowered us to align with the global call for climate change mitigation. Our estates are planned and designed with climate ...
Implementation of an Energy Management System (EnMS) in accordance with the ISO 50001 Standard.
2023年7月4日 · The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) has been incorporating green concepts and principles into the planning, design and construction of public housing, and management of its public rental housing (PRH) estates to improve residents’ living environment. Apart from implementing green measures in different areas of our work, we also organise a ...
2024年5月9日 · The Specification Library (SL) contains the specification of materials and workmanship for incorporation in the new development contracts. The content of the Specification Library is updated from time to time, and a new edition will be released every few years. The 2022 Edition (SL2022), the original version was promulgated in April 2022 for ...
