LEED EBOM ((Existing Buildings – Operations & Maintenance))
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)* is a green building assessment standard developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) to promote sustainable building design and construction practices. Since its inception, the LEED standard has become one of the most widely recognized green building rating systems in the world.
The history of LEED can be traced back to 1993, when USGBC was established to promote the concept of sustainable construction. In 1998, the first version of LEED was officially launched. This version mainly focused on new commercial buildings. In the early stages of its introduction, the LEED standard attracted the attention of many construction professionals and quickly gained widespread support and application. Over time, the LEED standards have undergone multiple revisions and updates to adapt to changing environmental needs and advances in building technology. For example, LEED 2.0 was launched in 2005 and covers a more diverse range of building types, including homes, schools and medical facilities. LEED 3.0 was launched in 2009, adding more stringent assessment criteria and a new scoring system. The latest version, LEED v4.1, was released in 2019 and focuses on improving sustainability and quality of life.
The LEED standards were developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, so their roots are in the United States. However, as LEED's global influence expands, many countries and regions have begun to adopt LEED standards in their construction projects and adjust and apply them according to local needs. Today, LEED has been adopted in more than 170 countries around the world and has become an important standard in the international construction industry.
LEED's assessment method is based on a comprehensive score of a building's performance on multiple environmental and social indicators. LEED's assessments are divided into several main categories:
1. Sustainable Sites: Evaluate the selection and management of construction land, including the impact on the ecosystem.
2. Water Efficiency: Promote the use of water-saving facilities and effective management of water resources.
3. Energy and Atmosphere: Assess a building’s energy use and environmental impact, including the use of renewable energy.
4. Materials and Resources: Encourage the use of sustainable building materials and management of resources.
5. Indoor Environmental Quality: Ensure the health of the indoor environment, including air quality and lighting.
6. Innovation in Design: Encourage innovative and advanced architectural design and provide additional scoring opportunities.
Under each category there are specific scoring items against which a building can earn a certain number of points. Ultimately, based on the overall score, buildings can receive different certification levels, including Benchmark, Silver, Gold and Platinum. We at HK Energy Audit can assist you in applying for LEED certification for your target building or decoration design. Our LEED Accredited Professional will follow up to evaluate and ensure that the applicant can successfully obtain the target level of LEED certification.
As an important green building evaluation standard, LEED not only improves the sustainability and environmental performance of buildings, but also promotes people's attention to the health and well-being of the built environment. As global requirements for sustainable development continue to increase, LEED's influence will continue to expand and become an important reference standard for future architectural design and construction.

【建築物能源效益修訂條例草案 5大重點】
《建築物能源效益修訂條例草案》於2025年3月26日立法會會議動議二讀,著墨能源審核5大改革重點, 香港作為高密度都市,建築物耗能佔全港電力用量90%,相關碳排放更超過總量50%。自2012年《建築物能源效益條例》(第610章)實施以來,雖已推動2,300幢新建建築、15,000項主要裝修工程符合能效標準,並完成2,700幢建築的能源審核,但面對全球淨零趨勢與本地電力需求增長,既有框架亟待升級。環境及生態局局長謝展寰提出《2025年建築物能源效益(修訂)條例草案》,聚焦能源審核制度革新5大重點及方向

【申請成為REA有甚麼要求?能源審核必備的專業身份】
香港能源審核必須由註冊能源效益評核人REA負責,要成為REA有甚麼要求?據香港機電工程署的紀錄,截至2025件3月份,全港持有 REA(Registered Energy Assessors)身份的人士只有不足1,450個,要维持註冊能源效益評核人的身份,並非考完試就終生有效,由於節能減排是國家級任務,所以對考取到註冊能源效益評核人身份的人士都有高規格要求,並需持續報名有關專業課程進修。在2025年政府有機會通過能源審核修訂,將會有大量建築物納入強制能源審核的範圍,如果你對成為REA有興趣,本文內容萬勿錯過。

【節能工程如何申請資助?】
各國政府、企業和個人紛紛將可持續發展視為近年的核心議題,環保節能當然是首要任務,申請節能工程的資助亦成為引申需求。國家制定了「雙碳」目標,計劃2030年前實現碳達峰,2060年前實現碳中和。作為亞太區的重要城市,香港亦承諾於2050年前實現碳中和,積極響應全球減碳行動。 節能工程如何申請資助? 申請節能資助涉及多個步驟,從確定合適的節能措施到提交技術文件與財務預算,對業主而言可能較為複雜。
