Improving building energy efficiency is one of the most common strategies reducing carbon emissions. It tackles building emissions, one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Hong Kong, whilst also lowering the energy bill.  Traditionally, property developers and landlords are perceived to be the only party responsible for improving energy efficiency. However, tenants and building users as major energy consumers are also important to the equation. How can we overcome issues such as split incentives and encourage key stakeholders such as  property developers, property managers and building users to work together for better energy efficiency? Is Hong Kong ready for green tenancy plans?

Launched in 2019, BEC Low Carbon Charter aims to encourage companies to set and achieve decarbonisation targets. Reflecting on the major challenges recognised by our signatories, BEC is pleased to organise our first Charter-related event on green tenancy to raise awareness and facilitate engagements between tenants and landlords. Join us and hear from consultants, developers, and tenants as they share their successful cases and lessons learned.
