The Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency
offered Chonburi builders advice on how to comply with Thailand’s energy
conservation laws when constructing new buildings.
Danai Egkamol, director of the department’s regulatory bureau, hosted
lectures from academics and bureaucrats Dec. 21 at the Cholchan Hotel.
Seven Thai governments, including Pattaya, Bangkok and Chiang Mai,
signed an agreement pledging to build green buildings. Three others are
expected to join the pact next year.
“This event was organized to sponsor, promote and push for agencies,
both private and public, to designs building that utilize energy
conservatively and efficiently according to the standards and
regulations of the rules of the ministry,” Danai explained.
“The local organizations should voluntarily conserve energy without
having the laws force them into yielding to the correct path to build a
network of promoting and sponsoring buildings that will conserve energy
and to create awareness to build knowledge, understanding and step into
the various developments in the future,” he said.
