The course is an elective within the Research Degree Programmes. It is international in its overview but focuses on specific aspects of Hong Kong’s building stock for detailed analysis of problems and solutions and identifies regional approaches (ie Australia, China, Singapore) for comparison. In addition to lectures there will be opportunities for group work within the class as well as explicitly research oriented assignments culminating in the mini-project on a topic of the students own choice. This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge on: • targets for sustainable buildings’ energy and water usage • new concepts in high performance, low-carbon buildings • trends in voluntary & mandatory methods to rate performance • Hong Kong – the building stock, its status and necessary upgrade • international trends in building performance evaluation techniques | ||||||||||
