Bangkok Exchange Tower

The Bangkok Exchange Tower has been projected as an exemplar development to showcase the achievable attainment of energy optimisation in existing building while targeting Green Mark Gold Plus award.
The aim for this 43-storey mixed-commercial development situated in the prime business district of Bangkok is to reduce energy consumption from its existing air-conditioning and lighting systems.
Effective and meticulous optimisation approach was enacted on the air-conditioning system without compromising comfort level for the occupants. The resultant performance efficiency of 0.737 kW/RT for its air-conditioning system enables the existing building of 20 years, to seal the Green Mark Gold Plus rating.
Passive energy reduction approach further chiselled off energy use with adoption of sensors in lightings, mechanical ventilation and extensive use of LED lightings.
Both active and passive strategies spearheaded significant reduction in energy consumption and therefore cast a direct positive implication in reducing operating cost for the client.
