Data centers are the fastest-growing building type in Southeast Asia – and one of the most energy-intensive. Operators, investors and hyperscale tenants increasingly ask the same question: can you prove this facility is efficient? Green building certification is becoming the answer, and we are proud to be working on two data center certifications in Thailand right now.
New-build, ~17,000 sqm, Bangkok – TREES Gold (under construction): We support the owner and the EPC contractor from concept design through hand-over: sustainable design charrette, TREES design guideline, energy simulation according to ASHRAE 90.1, daylight and outdoor-air studies, water and stormwater calculations, submittal management with TGBI, construction-phase supervision, material approvals and TREES commissioning of the HVAC, lighting control and electrical systems. Design target: chiller COP > 6.5, full energy and water sub-metering, and a scorecard currently at Gold level.
Five existing data center buildings, ~57,000 sqm, Greater Bangkok – EDGE certification (in operation): Certifying buildings that have run for 1 to 10 years is a different challenge: as-built documentation, 12 months of metered electricity and water data, and PUE (ISO/IEC 30134-2) as the core energy metric. Because the EDGE data center pathway is still a pilot programme, we run the eligibility research and certification strategy directly with IFC/GBCI before the audit – with our in-house EDGE Experts and EDGE Auditors covering the whole process.
Why EGS-plan? Thailand’s first EDGE Preferred Service Provider, LEED, TREES, and DGNB expertise, and 10+ years of German engineering in Bangkok with 150+ projects. Architects, mechanical and electrical engineers and building scientists under one roof – so certification, energy simulation and commissioning come from a single team.
