Petchburi Bulding, one of TBANK office buildings, set aside areas for work and also a common area inside the building. The office made arrangements for improvements in the building engineering systems, air conditioning systems, lighting systems, and also other systems, ensuring that the improvements were in line with its energy conservation policy, management systems, measures for managing energy inside building as well as energy consumption control. The objective was to minimize impacts on the environment. Having successfully made use of new technologies and innovative building systems, Petchburi Office Building won an outstanding award under the category of innovative ‘Retrofitted Building’ for energy conservation, at Thailand Energy Awards 2016.
Suanmali Building, another TBANK office building, used new ideas for managing its property. In particular, it installed solar panels on the building, in order to convert sunlight into electricity for use in the areas around the building during night time. The installation of solar panels made use of the sun’s unlimited renewable energy which could replace the energy produced from burning fossil fuels. As a result, the use of solar panels not only helped mitigate impacts on the environment and promote energy conservation but also helped address global warming and overcome part of the country’s energy crisis. In this connection, Thanachart Group planned to install additional solar panels at other buildings. The objectives were to conserve energy and to reduce electricity consumption.
