Three Garden Road, (“TGR”) has recently achieved a significant milestone and become Hong Kong’s First “Triple Platinum” Grade-A Office in the Existing Buildings Certification Category. This achievement did not happen overnight – it is a testament to TGR’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and willingness to adopt emerging and innovative technologies.
Over the past five years, “TGR” has continuously updated its existing systems and technologies, leading to a 17% decrease in energy usage and a remarkable 32% reduction in carbon emission. These upgrades have allowed the property to gain three crucial certifications, receiving recently the highest scores in Hong Kong for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4.1 Operations and Maintenance: Existing Buildings Platinum from the U.S. Green Building Council. Prior to this, TGR also obtained BEAM Plus Existing Buildings v2.0 Comprehensive Scheme “Final Platinum” – getting the highest score in Hong Kong for buildings with this rating, with full marks in five assessment categories, including “innovations” and “energy use”. In 2020, TGR also became the first existing building in Hong Kong to achieve WELL Healthy Building Standard Core Platinum, retaining its Platinum certification in v2 Core in February 2024.
