Launched in March, the competition invites industry stakeholders, designers, technology experts and academics to contribute ideas on ways to move Hong Kong's building sector towards carbon neutrality – a net-zero position – for a sustainable future.
As principal partner, Swire Properties is supporting the initiative by providing data from two of its advanced new buildings at Taikoo Place, to facilitate in-depth analysis and foster original solutions.
Advancing Net Zero is a global initiative launched by the World Green Building Council and is in line with the Hong Kong Government's environmental target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The competition aims to push the boundaries on sustainable design for future buildings, as well as retrofitting existing building stock.
