A Novel Approach to Smart and Green Office Building

The newly designed workspace for Transport and Logistics Bureau has successfully combined environmental conservation with the well-being and comfort of its occupants and achieved the Platinum rating under BEAM Plus Interiors V2.0 with an overall score of 99 recognising its outstanding performance. With the goal of promoting a sustainable lifestyle, the project was led by a collaborative team involving multiple stakeholders (i.e. occupants, building management office and project team) throughout planning, design, construction and operation stages to create a workspace that is modern, smart and sustainable.

The office has an open view in two opposite sides with over 80% of its occupants can enjoy natural lighting. A glazed feature wall in atomise glass system is developed between two office areas to enhance the space with a touch of biophilic design, fostering a connection with the natural world. The refurbished office also features a quality indoor environment and sustainable facilities include sharing and education boards, seating area, recycling facilities and reused electrical appliance and furniture.
