Green Building

What’s Green Building?

Green Building is a building that is meticulously designed, constructed, and operated by taking into consideration the use of resources, energy, and environment with efficiency and adeptness. It commences from the selection of the location, construction, and all the way to the utilization of the building to reduce environmental impact, pollution, energy consumption, and water consumption, while enhance the quality of life of the building users.

Green building also encompasses various features that enable the building to adapt to the constantly changing environment throughout its useful life. The specific characteristics that contribute to the sustainability of the building include:

Efficient use of energy,water and other resources

Use of renewable energy,such as solar energy

Pollution and waste reduction measures, and the enabling of re-use and recycling

Good indoor environmental air quality

Use of materials that are non-toxic, ethical and sustainable

Consideration of the environment in design, construction and operation

Consideration of the quality of life of occupants in design, construction and operation

A design that enables adaptation to a changing environment

"Research and Development Center with Platinum Green Building Award"

In 2015, the Company constructed a new Research and Development Center to support the increased potential and capacity of research and development of products in Thailand. With the commitment to environmental sustainability in accordance with Daikin’s policy and the conformity to the concept of product development that emphasizes on utilizing energy and resources with optimal efficiency, this building was designed under the concept of green building in all aspects. The building’s architecture, landscape architecture, electric power system, water system, and air conditioning system were designed to embrace the characteristics of green building, in addition to its use of renewable energy. The building was evaluated by Thai Green Building Institute according to the criteria of Thai’s Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (TREES), and received the “Platinum Award” on April 4, 2017.

"Received a score of 63 out of 85 points"

TREES-NC has the evaluation criteria under eight topics, each with varying points depending on the importance. The rating system has a total of 85 points.

The evaluation of each topic comprises of two types: prerequisite topics and credit topics. All prerequisite topics must be satisfied before the credit topics can be evaluated. The total score will be used to determine the award level. There are a total of four levels, consisting of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Certified, with Platinum being the highest level. This project received full points for four prerequisite topics with a total score of 63 points. Hence, it was granted with the Platinum award.

"Optimal Energy Efficiency with Lower Energy Consumption By Up to 43%"

1. Building Envelop“The building envelope was cleverly designed by contemplating the amount of heat from all directions to minimize heat gain of the building.”

2.Natural Lighting and High-Efficiency Light Bulb “Natural light is used in the hallway, while ultra-efficient LEDs are used throughout the building

3. High-Efficiency Air Conditioning System "High-efficiency air conditioning products from using VRV-IV for cooling systems."

Variable Refrigerant Temperature (VRT)

Daikin’s VRT technology automatically can adjusts refrigerant temperatures to environmental requirements, to improving both energy efficiency and comfort. During cooling, the evaporating temperature is raised as close as possible to the condensing temperature. However, during heating, the opposite occurs. This means the compressors work less, reducing power consumption.

High Efficiency during Partial Load Operation

Partial load operation refers to operation with a load of less than 100%. It usually occurs when there is only a small difference between the outdoor temperature and air conditioner’s set temperature. This type of operation accounts for approximately 90% of the annual running time of air conditioning units ₍₁₎.

To boost efficiency during these periods, Compressors are core components and their performance is directly linked to the motor Daikin was the first to deploy DC inverter technology, such as our Reluctance DC motor in commercial systems for scroll compressors ₍₂₎.

“Lower air conditioning load than the ventilation system through the use of heat reclaim ventilation (HRV). (Heat Reclaim Ventilation)

A standard ventilation system only simply delivers hot and cold outdoor air into a building in summer and winter. Daikin has deployed a heat reclaim ventilation (HRV) also recovers heat energy losses and minimises temperature changes caused by ventilation.

The technology decreases air conditioning load by around 23% compared to a ventilation system. Adoption of HRV has helped to significantly reduce the energy demand required to lower the temperature of fresh air

4. Renewable Energy “Installation of 30kW solar system.”

5. Building Energy Management System “Effective energy management through i-Touch Manager (iTM).” Scheduling Control / Interlock System (CO2) / Free Cooling

Intelligent Touch Controller

Intelligent Touch Controller uses VRV control system that can be operated without the need of computer by touching the color LCD screen and icons on the touch-screen control panel. This remarkable feature ensures that Intelligent Touch Controller can be used effortlessly in a similar manner as regular wireless remote controls.

Intuitive user interface

Intuitive menu screens enable, even novice users to operate and monitor the system like an expert.

List view

Designed for simplicity, this menu provides a quick view of overall status and essential information in a list format. Using the sorting function, air conditioning units operating under the same conditions and status are identified for comparison and assessment.

Layout view

A special feature utilizes building floor plans to provide a visual representation of system equipment. Without having to memorise equipment names, users can visually locate any installed equipment by searching its position on the floor plan. By selecting the indoor unit, all main functions are directly accessible.

Key Features

Connectable to up to 128 Indoor units The number of connectable indoor units can be doubled by adding an external adapter (Option)
Control the Air Conditioning System from Elsewhere Centralised monitoring control system based on a Web browser (Option)
Malfunction Reports to a Mobile Phone, anywhere Malfunction reports delivered by e-mail (Option)
Compatible with the 24-Hour Air Conditioning Network Service System Built-in modem for connecting to the Air Conditioning Network Service System (Option)
