DESCRIPTION
The China Resources Center Building in Hong Kong was originally built in 1983 and underwent a re-clad in 2013. The facade retrofit consisted in a re-clad of the original curtainwall with a high-performance façade. Daylight was optimized with a high-performance glazing that allows only 5% solar energy transmitted to interiors. Air-tightness reduced the need for air conditioning
Energy reductions of about 1.65GWh/ were reported annually. The China Resource Center is the first green retrofit receiving LEED in Hong Kong.
