Session 6 of The Sustainable Buildings Master Class is an important element of the series. While much attention has been brought to the direct energy intensity of lighting, air-conditioning and
HVAC systems, it seems that the full cost of materials and resources that it takes to produce our built environment has been largely overlooked.
Don′t miss out on this unique opportunity to join in on an interactive discussion with two of
Hong Kong′s leading green building experts: Mr. Dan Rusu and Dr. Thomas S. K. Tang.
The Sustainable Buildings Master Class attracts a high-level audience of well-connected decision makers from Hong Kong′s local and international
community. It is an opportunity for companies, individuals and organizations to gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong′s built environment while raising awareness of the energy intensity that buildings entail.
