Hong Kong has over 42,000 existing buildings stocks. Majority of them are over thirty years old. Encouraging building owners of these buildings, especially in private sector, to adopt green building management and upgrading the building services systems can play a significant role in the world of sustainability. The EB assessment tool aims to embrace more participation in “Green” Existing Building, encourage more energy saving, and educate and induce behavioural change.
BEAM Plus Existing Buildings Version 3.0
BEAM Plus Existing Buildings v3.0 was launched on 7 July 2025 to promote wider engagement, advance energy conservation towards net-zero emissions, and foster awareness to inspire behavioural change. You can register new projects through the Online Registration Form on HKGBC website: https://beamplus.secure.force.com/
It offers practical and flexible approaches, along with a simplified rating methodology of point-based scoring that ensures transparency and clarity in the assessment process.
In addition to the traditional comprehensive assessment approach, BEAM Plus EB v3.0 facilitates Theme Certification mechanism that provides tailored flexibility for projects with diverse certification needs. This market-driven framework allows a focus on specific topics or combinations of aspects relevant to the industry, addressing evolving demands while offering a more adaptable certification process.
BEAM Plus Existing Buildings (Global Version) Version 1.0
BEAM Plus Existing Buildings (Global Version) Version 1.0 was introduced on 28 May 2024 in response to the growing needs of green building certification across the globe.
The assessment tool aims to embrace more participation in “Green” existing buildings, encourage more energy saving towards net zero emission, and educate and induce behavioural change.
A streamlined point-based scoring system, along with simplified submittal requirements, provides optimal flexibility for projects constrained by physical limitations to implement sustainable practices and strategies. This approach contributes significantly to the global goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
There are 2 major schemes under BEAM Plus EB Global v1.0, i.e. Comprehensive Scheme and Selective Scheme. Comprehensive Scheme adopts the ‘Plan-Do-Check-Act’ approach for the continual improvement of the buildings while Selective Scheme embraces the ‘Better than yesterday’ principal to recognise the efforts made by the building management of the aged existing buildings to achieve better building performance.
