Hong Kong's green building assessment system, BEAM Plus, gains traction

Hong Kong's green building assessment system, BEAM Plus, has become mainstream in new residential property sales brochures over the past decade. The system, which originated from HK-BEAM in 1996, was developed by industry pioneers to adapt international standards to Hong Kong's environment, with early trials on landmark buildings. This initiative, driven by collaboration between developers, academics, and government bodies, has expanded to cover various building types and aims to promote sustainable development across the region.
