PAQS Sustainability Committee Meeting 2017
The PAQS Sustainability Committee was held on 22 July 2017 at Westin Bayshore Hotel, Vancouver, Canada. The meeting was held with the representatives from 11 countries.
It was reported that the three follow-up items arising from the last meeting viz. carrying out a research project funded by HKIS on cost and benefit of green building projects, establishing a platform for sharing information and establishing an email group for ease of communication were completed. The meeting concluded the following items for action this year:
a) a summary of macro-information relating to green buildings to be posted onto PAQS web-site. The summary will need the input from each PAQS member to provide the information relating to its country. The summary has to be updated annually.
b) maintaining the sharing information platform and the email group. If possible, it is better to have face-to-face communication through internet, at least twice a year. However, it is necessary to overcome the issue of time-zone between member countries.
c) from this year, each commiitte has to be responsible for its own research projects. Hence, the Board should be requested to allow funding in the annual budget for researches
