Therefore, we have always been striving to develop technologies and innovative products, as well as integrated consultancy solutions on eco-friendly constructions with international standards. We have been trusted by several national and international organizations for partnership in designing energy efficient buildings, such as Starbucks Coffee (Thailand) and Toyota Motor Thailand. Most recently, we had the opportunity to serve as green building consultant overseeing the operation of “foodwOrld” renovation project at Central World shopping center, ensuring energy saving and water efficiency as well as construction management and material selection which reduces carbon footprints, in order to create a healthy environment for all of the customers and the employees who utilize the building. We are proud to have been a part of the development which improved the establishment’s efficiency to pass the evaluation of the U.S. Green Building Council or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) with highest ratings in every aspect, earning CPN the first LEED Platinum award in Asia from Commercial Interior Retail – Restaurant/Cafeteria category.”

Therefore, when we had a plan to renovate Central World’s 7th floor food court which occupies over 2,000 square meters of space and serves as the most utilized area in the shopping center, we were determined to design it as a pioneer model for long-termed and tangible preservation and conservation of resources. We acknowledge SCG Green Building Solution as an expert in LEED Consultant who offers integrated solutions and provides perfect products for designing and constructing a green building. Therefore, we were confident to entrust SCG with an assignment as consultant overseeing the renovation, aiming for a LEED Gold certification. SCG Green Building Solution has closely and expertly supervised us, resulting in the award of Platinum level, which exceeded our initial expectations. This success denotes an improvement of standards for cafeterias in Thailand, rising to the global sustainability criterion, and proves the conviction of CPN and SCG in putting dedicated efforts into promoting Thailand’s environmental sustainability.”
