The first Green Building Awards, organized by Hong Kong's Professional Green Building Council, has officially come to an end with award winners announced.
Both the MTR Disneyland Resort Line's Sunny Bay Station and the Hong Kong Wetland Park Phase 2 received the Grand Award in the New Buildings category. Metro City Phase 2 and The Centre won the Grand Award in the Existing Buildings category.
The Professional Green Building Council was formed in 2002 by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA), the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects (HKILA), the Institute of Planners (HKIP) and the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS).
Kenneth Chan, Chairman of Professional Green Building Council said, "The success of Green Building Award is mainly the result of overwhelmingly positive support and participation from related government departments, professional bodies and the academia. The 55 nominations received undoubtedly reflect the local commitment in fostering the development of sustainable buildings while demonstrating the unquestionable positive attitude towards the Green Building Award in the industry."
