Message from Jurors (Existing Building C<strong>ategory</strong>)<br />

It is indeed a tremendous event to hold the second Green Building<br />

Award in July 2008 which has successfully launched by PBGC. I would<br />

like to congratulate those participants who have entered to all our<br />

existing buildings. <strong>The</strong> success of these existing buildings have not<br />

only contributed to sustainability <strong>and</strong> the environment but also a great<br />

impact to our green developments leading to industry awareness the<br />

importance of having a green society.<br />

Message from Mr. Yu Kam Hung<br />

It is my great honor <strong>and</strong> pleasure to be a member of the Jury Panel for<br />

the Existing Building C<strong>ategory</strong> for the Green Building Award 2008.<br />

It is an interesting <strong>and</strong> enjoyable experience for being a member of the<br />

Jury Panel. <strong>The</strong> high st<strong>and</strong>ard participating projects exhibit brilliance of<br />

our industry which meet the increasing requirements of the community<br />

for green <strong>and</strong> sustainable buildings, <strong>and</strong> I am greatly impressed by the<br />

efforts paid by our profession in achieving the goals on the above aspects.<br />

It is not easy for me to choose a winner as I am most astonished by<br />

the great number of participating projects which have all incorporated<br />

innovative <strong>and</strong> environmentally friendly concepts in their schemes.<br />

I would like to congratulate all winners <strong>and</strong> nominees for their<br />

outst<strong>and</strong>ing performances as well as their contributions in enhancing<br />

green building concepts <strong>and</strong> sustainable development in <strong>and</strong> outside<br />

Hong Kong.<br />

President<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors<br />

I am proud to be on the jury panel of the Existing Building C<strong>ategory</strong>. Each<br />

finalist in the Existing Building C<strong>ategory</strong> has illustrated their significant<br />

contribution to sustainable <strong>and</strong> green development. <strong>The</strong> submissions<br />

from the property management companies are brilliant <strong>and</strong> innovative.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Beijing 2008 Olympic Equestrian Venues at Shatin Core Venue<br />

impresses me for its remarkable comprehensive planning <strong>and</strong> focus<br />

on energy-efficient <strong>and</strong> renewable strategies. Moreover, I also like the<br />

Rehabilitation of Moon Lok Dai Ha. By revitalizing the existing estate<br />

instead of re-developing the l<strong>and</strong>, they have exemplified sustainability<br />

<strong>and</strong> great consideration to our environment.<br />

Finally, I would like to convey my deepest congratulation to the winners,<br />

<strong>and</strong> heartfelt thank to the support of all entries.<br />

Chairman<br />

Professional Green Building Council<br />

It is well known that buildings are major sources of energy consumption<br />

<strong>and</strong> greenhouse gases emissions, <strong>and</strong> although a green building grading<br />

system has been implemented in Hong Kong for over 10 years, it has<br />

never been applied to all buildings because it is adopted on a voluntary<br />

basis. With the completion of the Government’s public consultation on<br />

imposing m<strong>and</strong>atory building energy codes, I look forward to seeing<br />

the Government taking the lead <strong>and</strong> adopting a full-scale application<br />

of green building st<strong>and</strong>ards in Hong Kong. I therefore support PGBC’s<br />

commitment to promoting green designs by means of the Green<br />

Building Award.<br />

One special feature of the GBA 2008 is that projects from outside Hong<br />

Kong are eligible for participation <strong>and</strong> the winning projects will be<br />

selected for inclusion in the exhibition of the Hong Kong Pavilion in<br />

Australia during the SB08 Melbourne World Conference in September<br />

2008. This is a most encouraging step forward which augments Hong<br />

Kong’s special status as an international metropolis.<br />

<strong>The</strong> entries for the New Construction C<strong>ategory</strong> <strong>and</strong> Existing Building<br />

C<strong>ategory</strong> are marked by designs that take into consideration not only<br />

the sustainability of the project site, but also their relationship with<br />

the socio-cultural aspects of their surroundings. As the Jury Chairman<br />

of the R<strong>esearch</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> C<strong>ategory</strong>, I was very impressed by the<br />

innovativeness of various r<strong>esearch</strong> <strong>and</strong> planning studies in advancing<br />

the environmental performances of buildings in a wide range of topics.<br />

I sincerely congratulate PGBC on the success of GBA2008 <strong>and</strong> I wish the<br />

Council <strong>and</strong> all participants will continue to work h<strong>and</strong>-in-h<strong>and</strong> to create<br />

a better <strong>and</strong> greener built environment for Hong Kong.<br />

建 築 物 是 全 球 能 源 消 耗 及 溫 室 氣 體 排 放 的 最 主 要 來 源 , 而 香 港 的 環 保 建 築<br />

評 級 制 度 雖 然 已 經 實 施 超 過 10 年 , 但 由 於 只 是 自 願 參 與 性 質 , 始 終 未 能<br />

普 及 推 行 至 全 港 樓 宇 。 政 府 推 出 的 立 法 強 制 建 築 物 能 源 效 益 公 眾 諮 詢 已 結<br />

束 , 我 期 望 政 府 將 牽 頭 在 香 港 全 面 推 行 環 保 建 築 評 級 制 度 。 故 此 , 我 十 分<br />

支 持 環 保 建 築 專 業 議 會 對 於 推 動 環 保 設 計 的 承 擔 , 舉 辦 環 保 建 築 大 獎 。<br />

環 保 建 築 大 獎 2008 首 次 接 受 香 港 境 外 項 目 參 賽 , 而 且 部 分 得 獎 項 目 更 有 機<br />

會 在 2008 年 9 月 於 澳 洲 墨 爾 本 舉 行 的 可 持 續 建 築 會 議 2008, 於 香 港 館 內 展<br />

出 。 這 特 顯 了 香 港 作 為 一 個 國 際 大 都 會 的 特 殊 地 位 。<br />

今 屆 全 新 建 築 類 別 及 現 有 建 築 類 別 的 參 賽 項 目 , 其 設 計 除 了 就 項 目 本 身 的<br />

可 持 續 性 作 詳 細 考 慮 外 , 還 照 顧 到 與 周 圍 環 境 的 社 會 文 化 特 色 相 配 合 的 重<br />

要 性 。 作 為 研 究 及 規 劃 類 別 評 審 委 員 會 主 席 , 我 很 高 興 見 到 各 參 賽 的 研 究<br />

計 劃 均 透 過 獨 到 的 創 意 , 從 不 同 的 方 面 探 討 如 何 改 善 建 築 物 的 環 保 效 益 。<br />

我 衷 心 祝 賀 環 保 建 築 專 業 議 會 舉 辦 的 環 保 建 築 大 獎 成 功 , 並 期 望 環 保 建 築<br />

專 業 議 會 及 各 參 賽 者 能 繼 續 攜 手 合 作 , 為 香 港 創 建 一 個 更 美 好 、 更 環 保 的<br />

建 築 環 境 。<br />

I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the Professional<br />

Green Building Council on making the Green Building Award 2008 a most<br />

successful event. <strong>The</strong> Green Building Award provides an opportunity for<br />

the community to recognize the efforts of the industry in achieving green<br />

<strong>and</strong> sustainable buildings. I am most encouraged by the outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

qualities of the participating r<strong>esearch</strong> <strong>and</strong> planning projects.<br />

With the support of the industry <strong>and</strong> the general community, I am<br />

confident that we can build a greener <strong>and</strong> more sustainable city.<br />

a paradigm shift of values <strong>and</strong> aspirations, as well as methods <strong>and</strong><br />

approaches. I offer my heartily congratulations <strong>and</strong> salute to you all<br />
