The establishment of a Building and Health Hygiene Index (BHHI) is one of the HKU's Faculty of Architecture endeavors to improve the living environment in Hong Kong. The BHHI pilot study has now been completed and the results will be shared with the community. Besides releasing information, we also hope to generate discussion and to sustain Hong Kong people's awareness of the importance of health and hygiene conditions of their living environment. A press conference will be held on 12 October to disseminate the results of the pilot study and future research plans.

At the press conference, it will discuss:

(a) initial assessment of a sample of private residential buildings in Hong Kong
