Journal Article
Lam, P. T., Chan, E. H., Chau, C. K., Poon, C. S., & Chun, K. (2011). Environmental management system vs green specifications: How do they complement each other in the construction industry?. Journal of Environmental Management, 92(3), 788-795. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2010.10.030

Environmental Management System (EMS) has been one of the important tools for sustainable construction for around two decades. However, many issues concerning sustainable development have not been properly addressed, and there is a need for the intro...

Precipitation downscaling under climate change: Recent developments to bridge the gap between dynamical models and the end user (2010)
Journal Article
Maraun, D., Wetterhall, F., Ireson, A. M., Chandler, R. E., Kendon, E. J., Widmann, M., …Thiele-Eich, I. (2010). Precipitation downscaling under climate change: Recent developments to bridge the gap between dynamical models and the end user. Reviews of Geophysics, 48(3), https://doi.org/10.1029/2009RG000314

Precipitation downscaling improves the coarse resolution and poor representation of precipitation in global climate models and helps end users to assess the likely hydrological impacts of climate change. This paper integrates perspectives from meteor... Read More about Precipitation downscaling under climate change: Recent developments to bridge the gap between dynamical models and the end user.

Factors affecting the implementation of green specifications in construction (2010)
Journal Article
Lam, P. T., Chan, E. H., Poon, C. S., Chau, C. K., & Chun, K. P. (2010). Factors affecting the implementation of green specifications in construction. Journal of Environmental Management, 91(3), 654-661. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2009.09.029

Green specifications constitute one of the important elements in green construction. New sustainability requirements and changing priorities in construction management have spurred the emerging green specifications to a faster pace of development. A...
