As the world places greater emphasis on sustainability, green buildings have evolved beyond being a trend—becoming a new standard for modern developments that prioritize both environmental impact and the quality of life of the people who use them.
A building is no longer just a workplace, but a small ecosystem that encompasses everything we interact with each day—from the air we breathe and the water we use, to the energy that powers our work, the quality of light and temperature, and even the way waste is managed. All of these elements have a direct influence on the health, safety, and productivity of every occupant.
This is why the LEED certification was established: to define what a true green building should be in terms of design, resource efficiency, and sustainable operations. In particular, the LEED Operation and Maintenance: Existing Buildings (O+M) category highlights “the real performance of buildings already in operation,” assessed through continuous monitoring and day-to-day operational data.
AWC is proud to share that all four office buildings in our portfolio—The Empire, 208 Building Wireless Road, Interlink Tower Bangna, and Athenee Tower—have been awarded LEED Gold Certified (O+M) across the board.
The 7 Key Benefits LEED Gold Buildings Provide to Tenants
1) Cleaner, safer air for better comfort and well-being
With high-efficiency MERV 14 air filtration combined with real-time indoor air quality monitoring, our buildings help control PM2.5, CO₂, TVOC, and fine particulate levels. This ensures consistently clean indoor air, reduces respiratory irritation and headaches, and enhances focus and daily productivity.
2) Reduced operating costs through exceptional energy performance
Continuous energy monitoring paired with high-efficiency systems—such as advanced HVAC and lighting—helps lower electricity consumption and operational costs, while actively reducing the organization’s carbon footprint.
3) Cleaner, safer, and more efficient water use
Strict water quality monitoring for both domestic use and drinking water, together with water-efficient system design, ensures safer water for all occupants and long-term cost savings.
4) Efficient waste management for a cleaner, more pleasant workplace
Our structured waste separation system reduces odors and pest issues while reflecting an environmentally responsible approach that positively contributes to the tenant’s sustainability image.
5) Optimal lighting and temperature for enhanced work performance
Our buildings maintain lighting levels in accordance with industry standards and feature temperature and humidity control systems designed to support visual comfort, reduce fatigue, and promote consistent workplace productivity.
6) More convenient commuting, reducing daily stress and travel time
Through mobility pattern analysis and support for public transportation usage, our buildings help reduce congestion, shorten travel times, and contribute to organizations’ ESG goals.
7) Safer indoor environments with reduced chemical exposure
Low-VOC materials, Green Cleaning policies, and integrated pest management with minimized chemical use ensure a safer work environment and reduce long-term health risks.
Ultimately, LEED Gold Certified (O+M) is more than an international standard—it reflects a commitment to creating workplaces that genuinely enhance the daily well-being, comfort, and long-term quality of life of every tenant.
