About LEED

  • LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED helps building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.

    LEED is the most popular and widely used green building rating system globally. There are currently more than 69,000 LEED building projects, comprising over 11 billion square feet, located in over 150 countries and territories (as of January 2015).

    You’ve seen a LEED plaque before-USGBC estimates that nearly 5 million people experience a LEED building every day. Many of the world’s most well-known buildings have earned LEED certification.

The LEED certification by the USGBC for TA1 project

Thriven Group - Thailand commercial real estate developer - officially opened its new GREEN warehouse development in Samuth prakarn; outskirt of Bangkok. The project, with 22,000 square meters, is now 87.5% occupied (as of June 16, 2015).

“We are pleased that this innovative warehouse development received the green certification.” said Mr. Manop Charoenkajonkul, Managing Director of Thriven Development Co., Ltd.

Thriven Group is developing TA1 project, a multi user, high quality warehouse for lease. Key features for the project include outstanding locations for logistics users, adjacency with direct access to large, public road, outstanding connectivity to a number of major highways and logistics nodes such as Air Port and Inland Container Port.

The project design concept is to offer tenants state of the art warehouses that combine high quality logistics performance with respect to the environment.

The pursuit of LEED rating means a significant investment in the initial design and construction to meet all the USGBC requirements, and it delivers significant savings due to lower operational costs and the more efficient use of resources that are typical of a LEED certified warehouse when compared to conventional buildings.

In striving for LEED New Construction Certification by the USGBC, the project is aiming to achieving the followings.

High Energy Efficiency

High efficiency lighting and many other conservation measures enable the building to use 14.8% less energy than typical warehouses.

Environmental Friendly Building Materials

The design team carefully chose building materials based on sustainable characteristics.

All sealants, adhesives, paints, coatings and carpet systems are low-VOC. Regional sourcing accounted for 38% of all building materials which decreased the environmental footprint of transportation. Additionally, recycled content accounted for 32% of the total combined building materials.

Water Conservation

Inside the building, water efficient plumbing fixtures save 42% over typical consumption.
