On the morning of 27/04/2023, CENTRAL cooperates with GreenViet Company and AGC Asia Pacific to organize a seminar with the topic “Sustainable Solutions for Green Façade” at CENTRAL Office headquarters. The event attracted speakers and guests from companies.

• Mr. Do Huu Nhat Quang – Co-Founder & Business Development Director, Greenviet Green Building Consultancy;
• Mr. Lim Yew Meng – Executive Director, AGC Asia Pacific;

 And guests from Companies:

• Mr. Vuong Thanh Lam – Managing Director at Vertical Studio;
• Mr. Ho Trong Hien – Chief Executive Officer, RFR FV – France Viet Nam Engineering;
• Mr. Dang Viet Khoa – Managing Director, KAZE Interior Design Studio;

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.

Tôi muốn nói nên lời cảm tạ

Sự hiện diện đông đủ của Anh Em ta

Theo dõi tuần tranh đấu vừa qua

Lòng tôi thấy niềm xúc động lạ

Sự quyết tâm Anh Em trên sân cũng như là

Nguồn ý chí nơi công trường vất vả

Để CENTRAL vượt qua mọi gian khó

Và có được thành quả ngày hôm nay…

Con tàu CENTRAL sẽ tiếp tục tung bay

Trên hành trình dựng xây đất nước

Là bệ phóng cho Việt nam tiến bước

Đẩy nghèo nàn lạc hậu lại sau lưng

Tuần thứ 2 giải đấu tôi tin sẽ là một không khí tưng bừng

Cho hội thao mừng CENTRAL 5 tuổi

Anh Em hãy theo đuổi một ý chí quyết tâm

Để giành được vinh quang thắng lợi

Cổ động viên luôn phía sau chờ đợi

Màn trình diễn tuyệt vời của chúng ta

Nhưng phải nhớ chúng ta là một nhà

Dù thắng thua hãy bỏ qua tất cả

Đã là đồng nghiệp – Mãi là Anh Em

Nguyện xin đem sức cùng tâm

Cùng CENTRAL quyết nâng tầm Việt Nam

Dựng xây đất nước làm giàu non sông”
