Mr. Anthony Arundell, Senior Vice President of Smart City Development at One Bangkok, shared his vision for smart and sustainable innovation at One Bangkok, the largest holistically integrated district in the heart of Bangkok. This was during the recent 'Innovation Summit Bangkok 2023' hosted by Schneider Electric at BITEC, Bangna.
The panel discussion focused on one of today's greatest global challenges: 'Buildings of The Future: Net-Zero Buildings.' During the discussion, Anthony highlighted the key features of sustainability and smart city living design at One Bangkok, emphasising that "sustainability has been a core development principle for One Bangkok since the initial masterplan phase, through design and construction, and into operations. At every phase, One Bangkok has demonstrated its commitment to decarbonisation and meeting our net zero carbon goals."

By placing this principle at the forefront of every aspect of development, One Bangkok aims to achieve their decarbonisation goals by designing to LEED-ND, WELLs, TREES, WiredScore, and SmartScore certifications, all at the Platinum level. This approach ensures an energy-efficient design, exemplified by features such as the District Cooling System, Centralised Wastewater Management, Smart Grid, and Energy Management. Additionally, One Bangkok utilises an insulated facade and smart connected lighting.
One Bangkok as it will soon appear.
In line with their commitment to achieving net zero, One Bangkok strives to become Thailand's first project to obtain LEED Platinum certification for Neighbourhood Development. Moreover, the project has achieved a significant technological milestone by becoming Thailand's first real estate project to receive the Platinum WiredScore certification for Best-in-class digital connectivity – the highest certification from WiredScore.
