🌿 Congratulations to Artinian for achieving EDGE Advanced Certification! 🌿

On October 21st, Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) officially awarded EDGE Advanced Certification to Artinian Co. Ltd. for the Artinian Atelier Academy project.

💎 Artinian Co. Ltd. is a Bangkok-based luxury jewellery house and manufacturer that designs, sources, and crafts high-end gemstone and diamond pieces — offering bespoke and private-label services for global markets.

🏗️ In the context of the complete refurbishment of the Artinian Academy and Atelier Building (total project area: approx. 10,000 m² GFA), Artinian pursued an EDGE Advanced certification.

To reach this highest certification level, the following key sustainability measures were implemented:
✅ 660 kWp photovoltaic system
✅ Energy-efficient VRF air-conditioning
✅ Fresh-air ventilation with energy recovery
✅ Water-saving fixtures and toilets
✅ Wastewater recycling system
✅ Building renovation instead of new construction

These measures resulted in remarkable savings compared to the Thai baseline:
⚡ 100 % energy savings
💧 35.8 % water savings
🏗️ 82.5 % embodied energy savings in materials

As Thailand’s first EDGE Preferred Service Provider, EGS-plan (Bangkok) Co., Ltd. proudly supported the project with its EDGE Expert and Auditor team.

👏 Congratulations once again to Artinian — and thank you for the excellent cooperation on this inspiring green-building project!
