This document discusses green building standards and certification systems. It provides an overview of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building certification system, including the different rating levels, categories and credits. It also lists many examples of buildings in Thailand that have achieved LEED certification of different levels, demonstrating the growing adoption of green building practices in the country.

 UNFCCC: United Nations Framework Conventions on Climate Change in
Paris in December 2015
 To control the global temperatures to not exceed 2 degree Celcius
from the Pre-industrial era.
 195 Nations agree to reduce green house gas emission and submit plan
and report in the year 2020
 Green Climate Fund (GCF) of 100 Billions USD to support developing
countries to apply green technologies.

19. Paris Agreements & Thailand
 Thailand committed to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 20-25% by
2030.
 Thailand’s plan to reduce emission. By 2036;
 Power Development Plan: Generate alternative energy by 20%.
 Reduce the Energy Intensity by 30% from the base year of 2010.
 30% of energy consumption must be from renewable sources.
 Climate Change Master Plan

30. BANGKOK NEW CITY PLANNING CODE
 Bangkok immediately needs a lot more of green area
 New city planning code: 50% of open space must be
green !!!
 Development density incentive (5-20% more buildable
area) for green buildings.

 If so, how much? 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% ?
 If so, does different certification levels matter ?
 If so, does it mean tenants get benefit from it ? What benefit?
 In exchange with higher rental rates, do tenants enjoy money
saving? energy saving? low-carbon? good image?
 BUT…once developers get F.A.R. Bonus ? Should the sale
prices be lower?
