香港实际上是在1996年以后,政府当局就开始允许在进行建筑设计时运用性能化的设计理念。香港政府还正式地明确地在法律上写明一项条款,那就是建筑师、设计师和火灾研究人员能够运用性能化的概念进行建筑物的设计。在香港性能化刚刚出现的初期,香港地区大约每年只有不到10项建筑项目提出性能化评估申请,当然这可能跟当时香港地区的经济发展状况有一定的关系,因为当时香港地区受亚洲金融危机的影响,经济发展一度低迷,新建建筑物也就相对比较少。另外也有可能是因为最初大家对性能化不了解,所以在设计时也就没想到用这个东西,也就不会进行这方面的研究。还有从政府官员的角度来看,可能也比较保守,他们在进行审批的时候,也希望设计师最好不要用这种方法。可香港地区的法律规定,只要设计师送去的报告是在国际上可以行得通,政府部门就不能拒绝受理,这可能跟内地有点不一样。后来,随着香港经济慢慢的恢复,越来越多的大型复杂建筑物开始在香港出现,建筑师提出的设计个 Hong Kong is actually after 1996, the government began to allow the use of performance-based design concepts in the design of buildings. The Hong Kong government has also formally and explicitly legally written a provision that architects, designers and fire researchers can use the concept of performance for the design of buildings. In the early days of Hong Kong's performance, Hong Kong had only applied for less than 10 construction projects a year for performance evaluation. Of course, this may have something to do with the economic development in Hong Kong at that time because Hong Kong was hit by the Asian financial crisis The economic downturn, the relatively low number of new buildings. There may also be because initially we do not understand the performance, so in the design did not expect to use this thing, it will not conduct research in this area. From the perspective of government officials, they may also be more conservative. When they carry out the examination and approval, they also hope that designers should not use this method. The law in Hong Kong provides that as long as the report sent by the designer is internationally feasible, the government departments can not refuse to accept it. This may be a little different from that in the Mainland. Later, with the gradual recovery of Hong Kong economy, more and more large and complex buildings began to appear in Hong Kong.
