“We are very proud to receive this international award from CIBSE, which reaffirms our efforts in promoting sustainable buildings. We have every hope that our work on this front will encourage low carbon management within the property industry as well as among our tenants.” said Cary Chan, Swire Properties’ Head of Technical Services. The Company’s knowledge-based energy management approach adopts best practice from the areas of project design and building management and is already responsible for saving approximately 70 million kWh or 49,000 tonnes CO2 from 2001 to 2008 from the Swire Properties portfolio alone, a saving equivalent to planting over 2.1 million trees.
