Introduction Overview BEAM building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM) Plus is a comprehensive environmental assessment tool for Buildings which is carried out on a voluntary basis. It defines the best practice criteria for a range of sustainability issues across the whole life-cycle of Buildings and projects, such as how Buildings should be designed, constructed and operated, etc. Recognised as one of the world s leading green building assessment tools, it provides a comprehensive set of performance standards that can be pursued by developers and owners. Owned and operated by the BEAM Society Limited (BSL), BEAM Plus New Buildings is one of the BEAM Plus rating tools that cover the design and construction of new Buildings .

7 Based on the credit achievement where the standard or defined performance criteria are satisfied, the project will be graded Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze, to reflect the overall performance. BEAM Plus New Buildings Version (NB ) The upgraded BEAM Plus New Buildings Version (NB ) aims to be practical, clear and standardised in defining the key elements of green Buildings including health and wellbeing, hygiene, site impacts, use of materials, water quality, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, etc. During the upgrade process, the following fundamentals were established: Above Statutory Requirements Requirements for prerequisites and credits should be set above the statutory requirements. Adaptability Routes for standard and bespoke building types should be established.

8 Requirements for standard building types should be better defined with more assurance of the applicability of the criteria. Certainty Requirements should be clearly defined to reduce ambiguity and promote better certainty in the assessment process. Submittal requirements should be standardised as far as practicable. Practicality Standards should be achievable with respect to state-of-the-art of the building industry to promote wider adoption of green building practices yet pose reasonable challenges for better quality, performance and cost-effectiveness. Submittal requirements at Provisional Assessment Stage should be practicable with respect to normally available design information at the design stage in a typical project timeframe. It is envisaged that these fundamentals form the basis of the holistic green building performance indicators which suitably integrate different green features into a user-friendly assessment tool.

9 BEAM Society Limited (BSL) BEAM is owned and operated by BSL, an independent non-profit public body whose membership is drawn from many professional and interest groups in Hong Kong s building construction and real estate sectors. BSL is committed to developing and implementing the BEAM assessment tools, assessing green Buildings and training professionals. Hong Kong Green building Council (HKGBC) HKGBC was established in 2009 as Hong Kong s industry body that coordinates efforts towards green building . HKGBC certifies BEAM Plus projects, accredits BEAM Professional (BEAM Pro), BEAM Affiliate (BA) and BEAM Assessors (BAS).BEAM Plus New Buildings Version Introduction 2 Copyright 2019 BEAM Society Limited.
