Power management
The air-conditioning system with
Variable Air Volume (VAV) feature has
been installed to help stabilize the
temperature within the building at 25
degrees Celsius, which could reduce
power cost and extend the useful life
of the air-conditioners.
To raise staff awareness regarding energy conservation, SET has launched various campaigns, including
taking stairs instead of elevator and “Energy Saving Talk”, engaging staff to exchange views on how they
save and reduce energy consumption. In 2014, power consumption within the office building was 6,666,944
kilowatts and 4,066,056 kilowatts at the computer center, consuming 10,733,000 kilowatts in total or a
0.42% decline from a year earlier. The greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 25.25 tons carbon dioxide
equivalent per year.
In 2014, SET replaced existing lighting system at the computer
center with LED ones in a move to reduce energy consumption
and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, saving THB 262,000
per year or a 20% decrease.

Water management
SET has placed its importance on efficient
wastewater treatment management.
Water leak inspection has been regularly
conducted to ensure every drop counts.
The water pressure has been reduced
by 50% to save energy but the users still felt similar flow. In 2014, water usage dropped
by 13.20% from the previous year to 58,916 cubic meters while the greenhouse gas
emissions was reduced by 0.24 metric ton carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
Green Building
With an aim to raise the staff awareness of environment and energy conservation, SET has placed
its importance on interactive environmental management, which focuses on running various
awareness campaigns. In addition, a green building assessment standard called Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) has been applied as a guideline to conduct efficient action plan
in a move to reduce energy consumption and impact to the environment.
