Details	:	With the popularization of the notion of sustainable development since the early 1990s, demand for goods and services which emphasize lower environmental impacts has soared, and accordingly an expanding market for eco-friendly products (and services) on a global scale. This suggests that there exists a willingness-to-pay (WTP) premium for these products over regular products. In the construction industry, this takes the form of “green buildings,” which stress better environmental performance (or lower operating costs due to reduced energy/water consumption). Yet, for stakeholders such as potential tenants and investors, the actual environmental performance of these buildings is very difficult (or too costly) to discern. In light of this issue, a variety of voluntary green building certifications that provide a standardized, universally-recognized, and much more cost-effective way to identify quality and efficient buildings have been established. Within the context of Hong Kong, BEAM Plus, in many ways compatible to international green building labels such as LEED and BREEAM, is one of those certifications. On the other hand, due to 1) higher cost in employing skilled labour for the production of innovative and high-performance construction materials; and 2) higher life-cycle energy consumption as a result of higher embodied energy in the production of these materials, it costs more to develop green buildings. One important question arises as to whether there exists a WTP among occupiers and/or property investors for space within certified green buildings that is sufficient enough to cover the higher construction cost. This study, as a response to this question, aims to investigate the relationship between the transaction price of flats in selected residential property developments and BEAM Plus certification.
