The Hong Kong SAR government’s ambitious Climate Action Plan 2050 laid out four major strategies to tackle carbon emissions with the goal of a 50% reduction compared to 2005. For our sector, the ‘energy saving and green buildings’ strategy lays out ways we can all contribute to slowing and stopping climate change. With that in mind, we are delighted to be working with Swire Properties to help realise the vision set out in its SD2030 strategy, designing buildings that meet its ambitious targets for embodied carbon, as places that contribute to citizens well-being and reducing operational energy requirements. In particular, we are working on a project which has a goal of reducing energy in use by 30% compared to a typical LEED Platinum / BEAM Plus Platinum building. This will mean the new development has significantly better environmental credentials than even the most advanced buildings in the region. This has required a creative approach to the design as well as the techniques and systems we’re employing. With our climate in Hong Kong, it should come as no surprise that around 60% of a buildings operational energy usage is in cooling (i.e. a/c). Consequently, our number one goal has been to explore how we can push the limits of façade design, greatly improving the passive envelope performance in solar gains and insulation, while still creating a world-class experience and views for users. We’re also exploring alternative, low-energy approaches to both cooling and ventilation, as well as targeting ways to deliver improved comfort and well-being. These will not only create energy savings but also mean that the Artic-like conditions in many offices could be a thing of the past. There is no doubt that some of what we’re trying is a challenge for all stakeholders. It is challenging us to think differently about EUI; it challenges the operational models of property developers and operators; and challenges tenants’ evolving ESG and property usage patterns. Watch this space for more details as plans develop but for now, we are delighted to be working on a project which aims to become a benchmark for both environmental and building design in Asia. #architecture #netzero #hongkong Credit: Produced by Swire Properties and reproduced with its kind permission.

With the built environment being responsible for 40 percent of global carbon emissions, embodied carbon is a critical aspect to achieving net zero. At the upcoming Singapore Green Building Council #SGBC Green Real Estate Trends Conference, Jessie Tan and Sripragas Nadaraja will be presenting on The Business Case for Adaptive Reuse and the Sustainable Transformation of Buildings.   In the session, they will share how and why renovating the existing asset over building new is gaining momentum, considering its environmental, financial and social benefits. Through two case studies in Singapore, they will discuss the approaches for structural integrity health checks and incorporating sustainable materials as well as technologies to enhance existing buildings.   📅 11 July 2024 🕘 1:30pm 📍 Singapore Management University, Mochtar Riady Auditorium   Haoxin Xu and Andy Brahney will also be at the event to discuss how we can collaborate in the evolving landscape of sustainability within the built environment.

【334 x the size of Shenzhen PingAn Financial Center are now certified LEED in Chinese Mainland】   In the economically resurgent year of 2023, the #LEED program in the North Asia region witnessed substantial expansion, with Chinese Mainland leading the way. A total of 1,569 new projects achieved LEED certification, marking a notable 38% increase compared to 2022. Additionally, there were 2,424 new projects registered, reflecting a significant 58% surge from the previous year.   As of 2023, Chinese Mainland proudly hosts a staggering 10,678 participating LEED projects, out of which 6,389 have secured LEED certifications. The cumulative certified building area exceeds an impressive 154 million square meters. To put this into perspective, this area is roughly equivalent to 334 buildings the size of the Shenzhen PingAn Financial Center, the tallest LEED Platinum certified building situated in the thriving Greater Bay Area.   Analyzing the registration data reveals a notable surge in the ID+C system, constituting 50% of the total registrations for the year. Corporate office spaces and retail establishments are increasingly joining the league of sustainable projects. In terms of space types, retail spaces led the registrations in 2023, accounting for 48%. Moreover, there was a remarkable 148% YOY growth in industrial manufacturing projects, indicating a burgeoning trend of factories embracing green transformation.   Heartfelt appreciation goes to all supporters and project teams for their steadfast efforts. Anticipate more insightful data from the North Asia region in the following days. #LEEDinChina #yearinreview #greenbuilding #carbonneutral #sustainability

We are delighted to announce that our entire Central Portfolio has achieved LEED Platinum Rating, representing 27% of all LEED EBOM Platinum-certified buildings in Hong Kong. This milestone indicates not only our feat of becoming the single largest owner of LEED EBOM Platinum grade office buildings in the city, but is also a testament to our commitment in continuously working towards the highest environmental standards. "This recognition clearly demonstrates that you don’t have to be new to be more sustainable. In fact, Jardine House which is home to some of Hong Kong’s most impressive global and local organisations, was completed in 1973 and is the highest performing building in our Central Portfolio across water efficiency, energy efficiency, air quality, and waste diversion." Mr. Kenneth Foo, Executive Director at Hongkong Land. As we aspire towards a better tomorrow, we are committed to continuing to implement sustainable practices across our operations in the cities in which we operate.  Learn more about Sustainability at Hongkong Land: https://lnkd.in/gp7QZ3k  #HKLand #HongkongLand #inspireaspire #LEEDPlatinum #CentralPortfolio #sustainability
