(1) To promote the importance of developing a sustainable built environment and impact

of green building on environmental issue locally, regionally and globally

(2) To raise students’ awareness on green building concepts and deepen their knowledge

on the relationship between green building and environmental issue, including

climate change, indoor air quality, etc.

(3) To drive environmentally responsible behavioural change in youth
