"We are delighted to be a partner of Sustainability Expo for the 4th consecutive year. As a private sector company, we seek to make a positive impact to the environment and aim to become a net zero emissions development," said Urasate Navanugraha, Chief Investment Officer of One Bangkok. "The development of One Bangkok is a testament to our ambition to create a world-class project that takes sustainability into account in every respect, under the concept 'The Heart of Bangkok', which translates into a heart-centric metropolis for all. We are creating an experiential space at the expo where everyone can envision a realistic simulation of elements and areas in the entire district as well as the smart technology and sustainable innovations once the project is completed."
One Bangkok Immersive Pavilion engages the audience with experiential presentations of the following three content pillars:
- Smart Technologies - Get to know Central Utilities Plant (CUP), a centralized smart infrastructure system that serves as the project's central core to control all the operations and maintenance 24/7, giving improved holistic performance that reduces carbon footprint. District Command Center engineered with AI-powered Smart Estate platform monitors and manages water and energy usage across the district for optimum efficiency. The entire district is equipped with more than 250,000 smart sensors and over 5,000 CCTV cameras for real-time monitoring and data recording for enhanced security and Traffic Control system. At the same time, Smart Poles provide lighting and high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity covering the entire project. One Bangkok sets a new standard for technological excellence in Thailand with integrated smart technologies and has become the country's first real estate project to obtain the Platinum WiredScore certification- the highest certification from WiredScore for best-in-class digital connectivity with robust cyber and physical security for all building users.
- Sustainable Development - One Bangkok has been developed in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with integrated smart technology to offer environmentally friendly, energy-saving solutions for the project. These include Electric Power Saver, a backup electricity storage system that enables energy usage for 24 hours a day and maximizes efficient energy use; District Cooling System, a centralized air-conditioning system that increases efficiency in energy transmission and reduces greenhouse gas emissions; Smart Water Management, a circular water management system that monitors water quality and leverages wastewater treatment technologies for maximum benefits; Construction Waste Management, reusing and recycling more than 75% of the construction waste - such as recycling pile heads into precast concrete panels, recycling autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) blocks into Q-CON sound barriers for the underpass entrance, etc. Food Waste Management, an installation of food waste composters that transform food waste into fertilizer; and Smart Compactor that can reduce the size of the accumulated garbage, allowing hygienic waste storage and transportation
- Unparalleled Experiences in One Bangkok - One Bangkok offers a good quality of life and new urban living experiences with generous 50 rai of open and green space, amounting to almost 50% of the total project land area, to serve as a relaxing spot and a venue for public recreations in city center. Linear parks set back the edges of One Bangkok by 35 to 45 metres from the pavements of Rama IV and Wireless roads, providing an extensive greenspace between Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park. There are also wide pedestrian walkways that allow people to reach any area of the district within a 15-minute walk, in line with the emerging urban planning concept of 15-Minute Walking City that prioritizes people's well-being. A 2km-long Art Loop, which includes public arts, varied gallery spaces, learning spaces, and creative venues, will inspire and bring vibrancy to the community.
With all these attributes, One Bangkok is a smart city with a multitude of innovations that embraces sustainable urban development with the aim to be the first project in Thailand to receive the highest certified LEED platinum for Neighbourhood Development, and the WELL Building Standard for health and well-being of all occupants in our office buildings
