Programme Highlights

The construction industry globally contributes significantly to energy consumption and carbon emissions, accounting for 36% of worldwide energy usage and 40% of CO₂ emissions. In alignment with the Paris Agreement, Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2030+ has defined a carbon emissions target, aiming for an absolute carbon reduction of 26% to 36% by 2030. Specifically, the construction industry is expected to achieve an 11% reduction relative to business-as-usual levels by 2030. Sustainable construction represents a crucial dimension in mitigating the industry's impact on the environment, society, and economy.

Since its opening in 2012, the CIC–Zero Carbon Park (CIC - ZCP), Hong Kong's first zero-carbon building, has functioned as a living laboratory for state-of-the-art eco-building design. It continuously refines and optimizes its technological applications. Additionally, it serves as an exhibition, education, and information hub. The CIC-ZCP raises awareness of the importance of green building design locally and internationally and aspires to boost the public’s ecological value and live a low-carbon lifestyle.

ZCP focus on the following design strategies: -

Active Systems, Passive Design, Renewable Energy, Landscaping, Microclimate and Water Management Systems, Local Carbon Construction and Materials.

We invite you to join us for a guided tour designed to enhance your understanding of sustainable construction. This is also an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow junior professionals who share your enthusiasm for sustainability and the environment.
