Please note that the session will be held from 19:00 to 20:30 HK time on 16th March 2026.
As the built environment accelerates its transition toward net‑zero, embodied carbon has emerged as a critical focal point alongside long‑standing efforts in operational decarbonisation. With evolving standards, growing client expectations, and increasing emphasis on whole‑life carbon performance, practitioners are now turning their attention to the practical methodologies, material choices, and design strategies needed to achieve meaningful reductions in embodied emissions.
This seminar brings together experts who will explore embodied‑carbon reduction from multiple angles—spanning low‑carbon construction approaches, the latest development of engineered bamboo as a low‑carbon building material, and a real‑world demonstration of low‑embodied‑carbon design at HKUST. Through these complementary perspectives, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of current practices, materials innovation, and project‑level implementation pathways.
The session will also provide a platform for knowledge exchange and professional dialogue through panel discussion, enabling participants to reflect on how emerging methodologies can be applied within Hong Kong’s built‑environment context. By combining technical insights with practical case experience, this seminar aims to support industry practitioners in advancing more responsible, lower‑carbon construction outcomes.
