  • Civil, Architecture and Marine Engineering April 22–23, 2019 | Osaka, Japan
    International conference on Civil, Architecture and Marine Engineering April 22–23, 2019 | Osaka, Japan A review of the performance of the price premium of “Green Buildings” – A Hedonic price model approach *Michael C.P. Sing1, Joseph H.L. Chan2 1Research Assistant Professor, Department of Building and Real Estate, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong SAR, China 2Lecturer, School of Professional Education and Executive Development, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong SAR, China Sustainable construction and green buildings have become increasingly popular in different sectors over the globe. Heightened awareness of environmental impacts of production and consumption pattern increases the willingness-to-pay premium for green products / services. The Building Environmental Assessment Method Plus (BEAM Plus) is a Hong Kong based green building assessment scheme which provides building users with a single performance label that demonstrates the overall quality of a building. Eco-labelled buildings are beneficial to developers, building occupants and the environment. Logically, the green certification attached to the buildings could be translated to a higher property value. It is expected buyers will be prepared to make a higher bid for green buildings than those without green building certification. This research work aims to explore the relationship of the effect of BEAM Plus certification on price premium in the private residential building sector. While buildings bear more unique characteristics, a hedonic price model is employed to estimate the extent to which each factor affects the price. A total of 320 transactions of private residential buildings in Hong Kong were sampled to illustrate the positive relationship between property price and the BEAM Plus certification with a hedonic price model.
