The Project collaborates with four NGO partners, namely The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong, Chinese YMCA, Hong Kong Red Cross, and Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui by conducting in-depth gap analysis to facilitate their future EB transformation through smart and green technologies application. Moreover, various workshops and engagements activities had been jointly held with these parties to influence their staff and building users’ lifestyle and attitude through green building exploration and LOHAS appreciation. To enable building users to gain deeper understanding of green building elements and their importance, roving exhibitions and displays were arranged among their service centres. A series of promotional videos, green community seminars plus project-end best practice sharing shall further channel the message to the public and the wider NGO communities.
Green Community Seminars
A series of seminars was held targeting personnel from the NGO communities, particularly to those who were keen on transforming their existing buildings but lack the know-how on implementation. These seminars began with a general introduction of BEAM Plus followed by topics of interest such as green building management, building retrofit, retro-commissioning/on-going commissioning and application of smart green technologies. Case sharing will also be included.
Green Community Engagement Activities
With aims to enhance NGOs’ knowledge on green building and motivation to implement green practices, the Project cooperated with various local environmental groups and art groups to jointly organise a series of fun and interactive workshops for staff and service users of our four NGO partners.
Promotional Videos
The Project released ten promotional videos with emphasis on the importance and role of green buildings and the BEAM Plus Rating Tools. NGO Partners were also featured with case sharing.
