Bangkok--8 Jul--Kanokrat & Friends
Millennium Residence @ Sukhumvit announces its commitment to social responsibility in the development of an environmental-friendly project. The project recently received the Singapore BCA (Building Construction Authority) Green Mark Gold Award, the first such award in Thailand.
Suchad Chiaranussati, Managing Director of MR Sukhumvit Co Ltd, the owner of Millennium Residence, revealed that the company is honoured that Millennium Residence @ Sukhumvit has received the Green Mark Gold Award from The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore. Millennium Residence @ Sukhumvit is the first project in Thailand to receive such an award, which is given in recognition of the protection and preservation of the environment. BCA is under the Ministry of Environment of Singapore, responsible to provide support to the development of buildings, which are eco-friendly to the environment.
“As a responsible member of society, the company realizes the effect of global warming, which is one of the major problems impacting many parts of the world, and we should do something in return to protect the environment. The company then brings the idea of social responsibility to the development and construction of Millennium Residence @ Sukhumvit project for sustainable benefit, starting from internal management, the selection of construction materials, building design, resource utilization, and waste treatment systems," said Suchad.
The project has improved its details to fit in with all major criteria set by Green Mark Award. Auditing of project ‘Green’ details by the Building Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore has been accepted internationally and particularly in Europe, USA, Australia, and Asia. After the construction is completed, the project will be evaluated from time to time to ensure that it is still in line with the conditions upon which BCA made the award. The company has also allocated additional investment to the project regarding environmental issues for the greater public interest.
The outstanding factor for Millennium Residence winning this award is its greater concern on environmental friendliness and awareness and its ability to apply waste treatment systems effectively. One example of this is the rain water and waste water management process. Both waste water and rain water will be harvested and further treatment given to provide irrigation of the huge green area within the project. It will contribute savings in the purchase of clean water from public water supply and at the same time control the large quantities of surplus water that would otherwise be necessary to pump into the Bangkok waste drainage system which should also lessen the chance of floods.
The company has also introduced a new Carbon Monoxide Monitoring system at the project's underground parking facilities set to detect and control the presence of carbon monoxide in the ambient air. This system is designed to operate the exhaust fans only when carbon monoxide is present in the air and thus help save energy and expenditure in the operation of the fans.
Other interesting systems include energy-saving and environmental-friendly air conditioning system, the use of low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint, the installation of motion sensors in public washrooms to save energy on reduced lighting, the use of recycle materials in the project such as reconstituted wood lathes on the swimming pool decks which are environmental friendly, beautiful and more durable than real wood and the external "curtain wall" applied to the design of building facade which uses composite aluminium frames and glass joined together and insulated to form a very efficient barrier resisting air and water infiltration and effectively reducing noise and thermal transmission.
"Finally, we can say that Millennium Residence is the residential project that allocates more than 50 per cent of the free project space to landscape areas and water features. The BCA Green Mark Gold Award is the standard set and the driving force for our staff team to create new environmentally friendly ideas that can be applied effectively to our future projects. I'm quite confident that this valuable award will be a forerunner in pushing us further to win additional world-class awards in the future," said Suchad.
