- Description
- Sustainability is the most sought after topic in the contemporary built environment. The fundamental concept of modern sustainable building emphasizes on a holistic approach to reduce negative environmental impact of manmade structure, and this is coincided with the ancient Chinese knowledge of Feng Shui that aims to creating harmony between heaven, earth and human. Previous studies have already indicated that there are many similarities between ecological sustainable design and principles and practice of Feng Shui. The purpose of this paper is to explore these similarities through BEAM Plus, the sustainability rating system in Hong Kong. This paper will compare the five categories of BEAM Plus with the Chinese traditional Feng Shui concepts to enhance public awareness of sustainability in the built environment amongst the Chinese communities. The results indicate that two categories of BEAM Plus: Site Aspects and Indoor Environmental Quality are the major concern toward Feng Shui concepts. This study enhance the general public in Hong Kong to aware the importance of sustainability from the Feng Shui perspective.
