Its vision, execution and implementation of low carbon design innovations are forward-thinking and mark a milestone achievement for Hong Kong’s construction industry. To this day, its building performance has been continually optimised since its opening in 2012. As a centre for exhibition, education and information, CIC-ZCP aims to promote low-carbon living and advanced green building technologies beyond the industry, into the community. CIC-ZCP aspires to boost the neighbourhood’s ecological value, and contribute as a living and breathing piece of infrastructure. With more engagement with the community and industry stakeholders, CIC- ZCP hopes to create a paradigm shift towards sustainable living by becoming a local landmark building, and functioning as a “city lung”, breathing new life and clean air into Hong Kong.
