This fact file examines the BedZED (Beddington Zero Energy Development) case study, focusing on its building design features and their impact on energy consumption. We analyze the 5W's: Who, What, When, Where, and Why regarding BedZED's strategy for improving energy efficiency in housing. The advantages of BedZED include reduced energy use and enhanced living conditions, while disadvantages involve construction costs and scalability concerns. We assess its success in cutting energy consumption and discuss the relevance of Energy Performance Certificates in promoting energy-efficient practices in Hong Kong.
