Together with a large number of managers and technical experts of CENTRAL.

The workshop is an opportunity to meet and exchange sustainable solutions in the field of construction. Currently, green buildings have been interested by many investors. At the workshop, speakers presented the process to obtain Green Building certification from design, bidding, construction to operation. By simulating the design of energy and natural light for the façade at an early stage of the building design process, the idea will help optimize the cost, optimize energy for the façade system and air conditioning system for the building.

At the same time, the speakers introduced the features and properties of new materials through 3 topics:

  • Energy-Efficient Glass/Energy-Generating Glass
  • ETFE Lightweight Materials
  • FEVE-based coatings

Using new materials with sustainability and efficiency helps the construction work and the cost of each project to be more economical and optimized.

Currently, green building technology and materials play an important role in evaluating green buildings for sustainable development. The application of green technology in the building is considered the optimal solution that makes an important contribution to creating a green building from design, structure, materials, and colors. Not only related to the quality of architectural aesthetics but also promoting efficiency in energy saving.

At CENTRAL, we have been constructing many projects according to “Green Façade” standards such as:

  • Emasi Plus International School – Water Point Campus – Leed Gold Standard
  • UOA Tower, The Metropole, Chadwick International School – BCA Green Mark Standard

Most especially, C.P. Office Building and Etown 6 projects received the LEED Platinum Ver.04 standard, the highest level of LEED standards of the US Green Building Council today. These projects will be the first ones to meet the highest level of green standards in Vietnam.
