New Function on BEAM Plus Project Online Account – Exporting the Project Information Fact Sheet
With Hong Kong Green Building Council’s continuous aspiration and efforts in providing a smooth and convenient experience in BEAM Plus project registration and certification, a new function has been introduced for the BEAM Plus Project Online Account. Project teams can now review, update and export the Project Information Fact Sheet for ease of communication with BEAM Society Limited (BSL) about the project assessment.
When the BEAM Plus Project Online Account is activated after successful project registration, project teams can log in and edit the project information before exporting the Project Information Fact Sheet for kick-starting the project assessment with BSL. Certificates and letters can be retrieved from the Project Online Account as well. For publicity purposes, project teams can update their project name and address displayed on the BEAM Plus Project Directory, as well as obtain illustrations of BEAM Plus Certification Seals, corresponding to the BEAM Plus project rating.
Check out the introductory website that demonstrates the various functions and features of the BEAM Plus Project Registration System and the Project Online Account, including how to export the Project Information Fact Sheet and other useful FAQs such as where to download the BEAM Plus certificates and how to change the primary email. Let us walk you through step by step for a better experience in using the BEAM Plus Project Online Account!

Hong Kong Green Building Week 2020 – Team Up with us ONLINE in December!
In response to the recent pandemic, the annual public campaign "Hong Kong Green Building Week" which is jointly organised by the Construction Industry Council and the Hong Kong Green Building Council, will be transformed from a physical mega event into online programmes. With the theme of "Green Building Team Up!", a series of online games, sharing and engaging short videos will be released on 5-11 December 2020 for audience to "visit" and learn more about the green buildings in Hong Kong Island East, focus area of this edition, as well as to educate the public on how green building and its users work together in reducing city’s carbon emissions.
The TV promos and more event details will be rolled out in November. HKGBC will also launch various sets of WhatsApp Stickers in the coming months for "Green Building Buddy", which has recently appeared in his brand new image with additional green elements such as solar panels and green plants. Stay tuned to our Facebook page!
Green Commercial Buildings for Healthy and Comfortable Workplace
Imagine when you feel exhausted at work, how relaxing it would be if you could escape from the workplace for a while, and do exercise or enjoy the landscape nearby. Commercial buildings have been no longer conventional in recent years. Instead, more features are integrated in the building to enrich the life of the working group, as well as to promote health and wellbeing.
Take The Quayside as an example. The commercial building is certified with a Final Platinum rating under BEAM Plus New Buildings. There are extensive landscaping and a jogging track at the podium garden of the building. As a way to promote a healthy lifestyle, people can enjoy the recreational facilities there, with the scenic view of the promenade. The jogging track is even paved with smart tiles that generate electricity by walking. At another Final Platinum-rated project - Lee Garden Three, there is an indoor jogging track as well. Besides, a garden with flora is built to attract butterflies and enhance the building’s biodiversity.
