LEED Energy Modeling - EA Credit 1 Compliancy

The new AIA building is a premium Grade A office building located in Bangkok. To ensure LEED certification, we developed an energy model to estimate the energy savings of the proposed design compared to a baseline building. This LEED model is compliant with EA Prequisite 2 and Credit 1 requirements.

Mission

​

  • ASHRAE 90.1 compliant baseline versus proposed energy modeling (eQuest) as per LEED C&S Gold requirements

  • Energy modeling data coordination and progress follow-up

  • Energy modeling input compliancy and quality follow-up

  • Energy & Atmosphere (EA) Prerequisite 2 and Credit 1 documentation

“The new AIA Capital Center is a LEED Gold certified building with maximum green spaces and rooftop gardens, efficient column free floor plate areas, energy saving lifts/lighting/cooling systems, all designed for energy efficiency and sustainability.

Energy efficient systems such as the building exterior Curtain Wall System that is composed of three layers of laminated Low-e (low emission) glass. This not only protects from harmful solar rays but also insulates against sound waves, resulting in a quieter work environment, all adding to AIA Capital Center’s green credentials.“
