1. Analysis of Site Environment
• Investigate site access and circulation
• Examine surrounding buildings and neighbourhood settings
• Study climatic conditions, ventilation, air quality and noise impacts
• Identify the locations of utility connections (electricity, water, drainage, towngas, telecomm)
2. Study of Client Requirements
• Identify client requirements and major project goals
• Evaluate any constraints and limitations
• Study design requirements and criteria (for building services systems)
• Identify the scope of building services provisions
• Indicate any feasibility or further studies required
3. Key Building Services Systems
• Design objectives and design criteria
• Relevant local regulations and design practices
• System description and design features (specific to this project)
• Possible design options and system selection
4. Conceptual Design and Outline Proposals
• Conceptual diagrams and simplified schematics
• Load estimation (rough) and possible zoning
• Arrangement of utility connections (obtain authority approval, if needed)
• Planning of major plant rooms and services distribution

Feasibility study of BEAM Plus: [PDF] (prepared by Dr Ernest Tsang)
- 1. Select appropriate assessment scheme
- 2. Maximum credit applicable to the project
- 3. Check with the prerequisites and outline the design criteria for the project
- 4. Evaluate against BEAM Plus what the highest rating is achievable by current design and identify the limitations
- 5. Gap analysis on the current situation and the target rating
- 6. Review all potential solutions if the target rating cannot be achieved. Evaluate them against design and cost consideration
