Offices at the APB Centre and QGO represent a majority of total ArchSD office space. The percentage of electricity consumption of the whole premises for the ArchSD’s offices at the APB Centre and QGO is assumed to be 100% and 20% respectively.

^[2]

CO₂ emissions intensity of CLP Power and HK Electric from 2019 to 2023 were used for the ArchSD office at the APB Centre and QGO respectively.

^[3]

Energy-saving is calculated by considering green and low-carbon design features, e.g. building envelope, building services systems and renewable energy technologies, adopted in projects.

Data from 2023 and previous years were extracted from the Public Works Programme Construction Site Safety and Environmental Statistics System (PCSES) of the Development Bureau as at 8 August 2024. From 2019 to 2022, the number of non-fatal accidents and the non-fatal accident rate was adjusted.

^[15]

The accident rate of the Hong Kong Construction Industry is based on the published statistics of the Labour Department, using a conversion of 1.67 accidents per 100 000 man-hours, which is equivalent to 60 accidents per 1 000 workers per year.
