The course will include a mixture of tutor led training, group discussion and delegate activities and will be assessed through a 2.5-hour online examination. Training will focus on the application of the greenhouse gas accounting and reporting guide developed by the Hong Kong SAR Government and will also cover practical carbon auditing skills.  Delegates will gain practical experience of GHG emission accounting and reporting calculations by completing a range of exercises and a case study Hong Kong office building. Participants will require MS Excel for the course case study exercise and also a laptop for the assessment.

Standing at the forefront of a technological revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries, redefining possibilities, and driving innovation across various sectors. In mechanical engineering, AI plays a crucial role in optimising designs, improving efficiency, and enabling smart manufacturing solutions. Delving into this topic, we will explore the latest developments, examine real-world applications, and discuss the ethical considerations and governance surrounding AI technologies. The symposium will serve as a platform for in-depth discussions on the integration of AI technologies within mechanical engineering.

The symposium provides a platform at which international experts and industry participants can meet with to discuss key issues and new trends in lighting technology.  The event highlights new directions in lighting for commercial and public applications, both locally and globally and seeks to elevate public awareness of the importance of lighting quality.

Heading to its 15th Anniversary, BEAM Society Limited (BSL) is commemorating this notable milestone by organising the BEAM Society International Conference 2025, which serves as a key platform to promote sustainable development practices and investment strategies. Themed “Pathways to Carbon Neutrality: Realising ESG and Sustainable Built Environment!”, the Conference will deliberate on the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) implementations, including discussions on green finance advancement, digital transformation, artificial intelligence for building life cycle, and green assessment tools and certification. Remarkable green advocates and academics will share international case studies, further advancing our mission to creating a more sustainable built environment for the community and achieving the carbon neutrality goal set out in Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050. The Conference will definitely facilitate the connectivity and deepen collaborations across the Greater Bay Area region, creating synergies that align with the Mainland’s shared sustainability objectives. These efforts are fully aligned with the goals outlined in the Chief Executive’s Policy Address 2024.   Join us on 23rd October 2025 (Thursday) to meet visionaries and gain actionable insights, equip yourself with new perspectives and tools to drive Hong Kong’s sustainable building future. Don't miss out on this fantastic chance to be part of something truly special.

Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM) Plus is a comprehensive environmental assessment tool for buildings which is carried out on a voluntary basis. It defines the best practice criteria for a range of sustainability issues across the whole life cycle of buildings and projects, such as how buildings shall be designed, constructed and operated, etc. Recognized as one of the world’s leading green building assessment tools, it provides a comprehensive set of performance standards that can be pursued by developers and owners. BEAM Plus Existing Buildings Version 3.0 (EB v3.0), owned and operated by the BEAM Society Limited (BSL), is a rating tool that falls under the BEAM Plus framework. It specifically focuses on the management, operation, maintenance, and environmental performance of existing buildings. It aims to reduce the environmental impacts of existing buildings whilst improving quality and user satisfaction by the adoption of the best techniques available. It also drives the society to achieve carbon neutrality.
