We are proud to announce a significant milestone for the SafeBox Bangkok project, a centrally located office building on Banthat Thong Road in Bangkok, which also serves as the office of EGS-Plan. The project has successfully achieved EDGE Advanced Certification.
EGS-Plan acted as the project’s EDGE consultant, providing comprehensive one-stop services as both the EDGE Expert and EDGE Auditor throughout the certification process.
This achievement demonstrates that existing buildings can also pursue EDGE Advanced certification if the project undergoes continuous and strategic development. One of the key highlights of this project is its exceptional 97% Material Saving, attributed to Less Embodied Carbon in Materials. This reflects the project’s strong commitment to minimizing the use of new natural resources through the reuse and optimization of existing materials.
In addition, the project has installed a solar rooftop system with sufficient capacity to support its operational needs, resulting in an impressive 87% Energy Saving under the EDGE criteria. Water efficiency has also been addressed through the installation of water-saving sanitary fixtures, achieving 36% Water Saving.
Furthermore, the project owner has demonstrated strong vision and commitment to sustainability by pursuing an additional certification standard. In addition to EDGE Advanced, the SafeBox Office Bangkok project had previously been awarded Fitwel 1 Star Certification. This accomplishment reflects not only the project’s sustainability performance but also the growing potential for existing buildings to contribute meaningfully to a low-carbon future.
