The standout innovations of S-OASIS under the concept of "Be/Live/Well and Sustainable" include:
- Environmental Initiatives: The project has earned LEED certification, highlighting its dedication to energy conservation and environmental stewardship. It aims to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2030 by integrating advanced AI technology to monitor real-time data within the building, facilitating efficient management. Additionally, solar panels and natural light sensors are installed to enhance energy savings and optimize lighting. The project features water management systems that reduce water usage by up to 50% through treatment and recycling, along with water-saving fixtures that cut consumption by 20%. Furthermore, it incorporates a rainwater collection system and Reverse Vending Machines (RVM) for recycling PET plastic bottles. Notably, it boasts the largest number of EV chargers installed among office buildings along Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road.
- Air Quality Control Within the Building: S-OASIS employs cutting-edge technology by installing UVC systems within the Chiller to eliminate airborne pathogens before air enters the air conditioning system. Additionally, AIRSteril UVGI Upper Room units are strategically placed in the building's common areas to ensure clean and safe indoor air. This comprehensive approach effectively reduces various air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde. A Positive Pressure system facilitates the influx and circulation of outdoor air, enhanced by an Outdoor Air Unit (OAU) to further improve air filtration efficiency. The building also features high-performance filtration systems, including Medium Filter MERV 8 and HEPA Filter MERV 14, which can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively blocking PM 2.5 dust, pollen, and even mold spores. UVC lamps installed in the AHU units work efficiently to disinfect bacteria and mold, ensuring the indoor air remains clean and safe.
- Innovative Building Design: The building showcases modern architecture with expansive full-height windows that maximize natural light, promoting energy efficiency and creating an inviting work environment. It incorporates recycled materials and low-VOC surface coatings, significantly reducing pollution and enhancing occupant health. Additionally, there are over 2,200 square meters of green space both inside and outside, providing tranquil relaxation areas. The S-Hygiene system features dual-stage air filtration and includes sensors to monitor carbon dioxide levels. Beyond serving as a workspace, S-OASIS enhances lifestyle offerings with a range of amenities such as S-OASIS Retail, SUN Plaza, foodPLACE, and Chill & Dine areas for unwinding after work. The project also emphasizes community development by enhancing public landscapes to create green spaces for relaxation and improving the cleanliness of nearby canals.
- Efficient Use of Space: The layout design emphasizes optimal space utilization to meet the diverse needs of office users. Featuring a Knock-out Panel ceiling, tenants can easily customize their areas into two-storey offices as desired. The JUMP&SYNC system provides flexibility in adjusting space and lease durations, supported by high-speed internet connectivity and office equipment tailored for a Hybrid Model of work. Additionally, the MaxServe service offers comprehensive office cleaning that adheres to international hygiene standards.
- Advanced Construction Techniques: The project incorporates cutting-edge technology and efficient methodologies throughout the construction process, enhancing both speed and precision while ensuring high-quality standards. It prioritizes minimizing environmental impacts on surrounding communities and implements effective waste management practices.
- Sustainable Transport: Strategically located in the city center, the project offers convenient access to major public transportation systems such as BTS and MRT. This connectivity reduces reliance on personal vehicles and lowers the carbon footprint associated with employee commuting, thereby promoting comfort and supporting the project's commitment to sustainable development and environmental preservation.
Singha Estate reaffirms its dedication to meticulously developing projects that create value and promote sustainable growth in collaboration with stakeholders, society, the environment, and local communities. The company aims to establish itself as a leader in sustainability and the innovative use of technology within the Thai real estate sector.
