Low Energy Building
John Herbert
Buildings are voracious energy consumers, eighty nine percent (89%) of all electricity generated is consumed by buildings in Hong Kong, and one third of that is used just to power air conditioning systems.
Correctly designed low energy buildings, sometimes called "green
buildings" need to be properly designed holistically, using integrated
engineering design (IED) techniques if energy usage is to be minimised,
systems operate more efficiently and save building owners money.
Evidence
It is increasing important, consumers demand greener facilities and no longer believe the hype. Independent certification from BEAM (Hong Kong's Green Building Standard) or an equivalent authority is the acid test of greenness.
