Research Embarked on “Establishing a Hong Kong Based Carbon Labelling

Framework for Construction Materials”
「建立以香港為本的建築物料碳標籤制度」研究展開

建造業議會（議會）資助香港大學（港大），就「建
立以香港為本的建築物料碳標籤制度」展開研究。簽
署儀式在 2010 年 10 月 26 日於香港大學舉行，由建造
業議會主席李承仕先生及香港大學副校長譚廣亨教授
簽署協議，以示雙方對物料碳標籤的承擔踏出重要一
步。

研究小組會探討建議的本地建造業碳標籤制度的 影
響，並會找出不同類別建造物料的特徵，以及對碳標
籤的影響。根據先前階段的結果，研究小組會訂立本
地標準框架，以審計各種建造物料的碳足跡，並定出
基準制度，根據排放水平把建造物料分類。

The signing ceremony was held at HKU on Tuesday,
26 October 2010, it signified the commitment of both sides
on this important milestone of carbon labelling of materials.
The agreement was signed by Mr. LEE Shing-see,
Chairman of CIC and Professor Paul TAM, Pro-Vice-
Chancellor of HKU.

The research team will examine the implications of the
proposed carbon labelling scheme in the local
construction industry and will identify characteristics of
different categories of construction materials and their
effects on carbon labelling. Based on the results of the
preceding stages, the research team will develop a local-
based model framework to audit the carbon footprint of
vaiours construction materials and devise a benchmarking
mechanism to classify a construction material according to
its emission level.

“We consider green issue is a real issue and we believe that
the construction industry can play a key role,” said Mr. LEE
Shing-see, Chairman of CIC. “The research we commit is
comprehensive for it opens not only a new chapter in green
building standards, but also doors to pragmatic strategies (from left to right) Mr. Christopher TO, Executive Director of CIC;
