Mr CHEUNG Hau-wai
Chairman
Hong Kong Green Building Council
Mr CHEUNG Hau-wai, is one of the founding directors of Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) and now Chairman of the Council. He is also a member of the Advisory Committee on Water Supplies and the Private Columbarium Licensing Board.
Mr CHEUNG was formerly Director of Buildings of the Buildings Department of the Government of the HKSAR, Council Member of the Hong Kong Construction Industry Council, Chairman of the Zero Carbon Building, and member of the Town Planning Board.
Mr CHEUNG advocates harmonising green buildings with their surrounding built environment, and instilling smart technology in their design. Mr CHEUNG is looking into extending sustainability assessment work from individual buildings to non-building projects and the entire built environment. HKGBC is striving to retro-fit and re-commission the large stock of existing buildings to become sustainable and energy saving in a high density city, as part of the worldwide campaign to reach the target of COP21 and reducing carbon emission.
Outside the green community, Mr CHEUNG was the Chairman of the Executive Committee of a charitable organisation, which took part in the reconstruction of villages damaged in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in the Mainland. He was responsible for fund raising and reconstruction project management.
