Synopsis

The upgraded BEAM Plus Interiors (BI) v2.0 is designed based on four key principles: Adaptability, Simplification, Certainty, and Human-Centric. It aims to provide an up-to-date, practical, clear, and standardised in defining the key elements of green interior spaces, including health and wellbeing, hygiene, site impacts, use of materials, water quality, energy efficiency, and indoor environmental quality. These performance indicators help integrate different green features into a user-friendly assessment tool. The new assessment tool extends its applicability to the most frequently encountered interior fit-out projects in Hong Kong, which include workspaces, shopping spaces, food spaces, institutional spaces, hotel spaces, leisure & entertainment spaces, residential communal spaces, and hotel units. Additionally, it expands the applicability of BI to residential units and incorporates a separate set of assessment criteria and rating methods for this specific category.
