Recognizing that buildings account for nearly 40% of the world’s carbon emissions, it is important to calculate the embodied carbon generated throughout a building’s lifecycle, including production, transportation and installation stages.

CIC (Construction Industry Council) takes the initiatives on decarbonisation in construction. This talk will first introduce Carbon Assessment Tool (CAT) which is an online platform for industry-wide stakeholders including developers, designers, and contractors to evaluate their project's carbon emission against the benchmark. The CAT is publicly accessible and aims to tackle the issue of embodied carbon emissions generated from built environment projects.

Then this talk will further introduce CIC Green Product Certification which is developed by CIC and the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC). It is a comprehensive approach which evaluates multiple aspects such as carbon footprint, greenhouse gases emission, human toxicity, resource consumption, ecosystem impact etc. It provides a transparent platform whereby all stakeholders are informed on the sustainable criteria. The platform will stimulate the industry to procure greener materials and products. Suppliers will then be encouraged to take greener and more sustainable steps in their manufacturing processes.
