Need a BEAM Pro?
John Herbert
Director
A BEAM Professional or simply BEAM Pro is a person that provides
green building specialist advice and guidance for certification of
real estate developments and building projects using one of the
Hong Kong's home grown BEAMPLUS suite of green building rating
tools, including New Buildings (NB), Existing Buildings (EB),
Interiors (BI) and Neighbourhood (ND).
More Design Not Less
The community and Hong Kong BEAMPLUS tools increasing value our
finite resources therefore encouraging more design using
less material must become the norm. In turn that means compensating
the design team, contractors and specialists in new and
different ways.
Time spent at the design stage is precious and critical to
deliver better buildings stock, making the best use of materials.
BEAM PLUS Certification
Your BEAM Pro should help, and advise the design team,
and client side, regarding BEAMPLUS certification and the process.
BEAM certification process for New Buildings (NB) is conducted into two
stages, called the Provisional Assessment (PA) and then the Final
Assessment (FA).
A Provisional Assessment (PA) submission is the first round, it is primarily
the commitments made during design stage for the future performance of the
building systems, some credits require simulation to justify the intended
building performance.
The Final Assessment, or FA stage is time when performance data must be
submitted to demonstrate actual installation and performance of the
completed building. For example, on site IAQ measurements and the like.
Under the BEAM PLUS New Buildings v1.2 credit IA3, one credit
point is awarded for engaging a project BEAM pro.
BEAM PLUS Interiors (BI)
BI is the green rating tool for offices, it is slightly different,
after the project is 100% complete there is only one Final
Assessment (FA), and completed projects are inspected to
check compliance.
