Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) has launched the Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme in order to provide building owners with a benchmarking scheme to gauge the energy performance of their buildings together with a target setting tool that can facilitate them to set their targets to align with international carbon neutrality targets.

The Applicant (owner or owner’s representative) has to engage an Energy Assessor-ZCRB to apply for certifications. Energy Assessor-ZCRB is eligible to conduct assessments for both Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification and Net Zero Building Certification Schemes application. The duty of the Energy Assessor-ZCRB is to provide detailed and independent assessments and verification services of the building’s energy systems based on the building’s data and information.
