10 Analysis of Climatic Data for Sustainable Buildings in Hong Kong ABSTRACT Dr. Sam C. M. Hui Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Hong Kong Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong, China Tel: (852) , Fax: (852) Sustainable design of buildings and building services systems requires careful consideration of local climatic conditions and characteristics. Without good information and understanding of the local climate, it is not possible to study and achieve optimal building design and efficient building services operation. This paper will present the findings of a research which aims to study and develop the important climatic data in Hong Kong for sustainable building design. By analysing the long-term weather data over the past 114 years and examining the practical issues of building design, useful climatic information and patterns are identified. In addition, the key results from other relevant local and overseas research studies are evaluated so as to assess the present needs and future development of building climatic design. It is hope that the research information will enable people to better understand the local climate and to build up the resources for assessing important issues of energy and environmental design. Keywords: Climatic data, weather information, sustainable building, Hong Kong
