Abstract
This paper focuses on evaluating Tamar Development Project by analyzing environment products. Tamar Development Project is a government complex what won the Gold Award in the construction industry in Hong Kong. By two analysis methods of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HKBEAM), this paper demonstrates that (1) environmental products are more efficient in use and have more economic benefits than conventional products, (2) although some environmental products might have long payback periods, they can bring considerable economic and environmental benefits to the society, and (3) providing environmental products is a good strategy to achieve credits in HKBEAM. This paper aims to prove the advantages of environmental products on both economic and environmental aspects in green construction. In the long run, this paper will make a commitment to correct the misunderstandings and persuade corporations to adopt “Green” ways for their construction projects. Those green construction projects would enhance the quality of people’s life and save the environment in the world.
