Carbon Emission Factors Database

The Royal Orange County (ROC) Project involves eight

multistoried buildings, consisting a total of 353
residential flats. The ROC has adopted a number of
sustainable and environment-friendly options such as
eco-friendly architectural design buildings, renewable
energy, waste management, wastewater management and
low-carbon embodied construction and building
materials.

The Orange County Foundation team calculated the carbon

footprint of the ROC construction phase and
successfully achieved a 15% reduction in GHG
emissions compared with previous projects.
