Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP)
  UURG is pleased to announce that two of our senior management have passed the LEED AP New Construction examination and have been certified as LEED Accredited Professionals. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. The LEED AP program is administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI), which was established with the support of USGBC to allow for objective, balanced management of the credentialing program. A qualified LEED AP has to demonstrate a thorough understanding of green building techniques, the LEED Green Building Rating System, and the certification process.

    Membership of the HK-Beam Society
  UURG is pleased to be granted the corporate membership of the HK-Beam Society. The BEAM Society is the non-profit organization that owns and operates, on a self-financing basis, the Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM). The society oversees the on-going development and implementation of BEAM standards for building assessment, performance improvement, certification and labelling. This is undertaken as an industry led, voluntary initiative to benefit the community. Society members work to continually enhance and refine BEAM to meet the expectations of all interested parties (in particular building users), and to encourage and assist the local building industry to move towards sustainable development. The Business Environment Council (BEC), being the longest running independent, non-profit organization in Hong Kong promoting corporate social and environmental responsibility, serves as the Secretariat of the BEAM Society and BEC's assessors are the only qualified BEAM assessor in Hong Kong.
