Management Approach and Value Creation
Central Pattana takes an integrated approach to air quality management, embedding it into every phase of operations—from strategic planning and business execution to ongoing evaluation and process improvement. This approach is designed to ensure air quality management aligns with the Company’s sustainability policy across all dimensions. The Company has established a team of specialized professionals and utilizes advanced analytical tools to continuously monitor and enhance air quality performance.
In addition, Central Pattana incorporates the concept of stakeholder wellbeing into building design and indoor environmental planning. The Company encourages tenants to design their spaces in accordance with the TREES-CS (Core & Shell) green building standard, and sets clear requirements for air filtration systems and air quality standards within leased areas. These efforts align with the Company’s sustainability goals and support certification under the WELL Building Standard, reinforcing its commitment to healthy and sustainable environments.
Technology and Innovation
In an era where technology plays a critical role in environmental management, Central Pattana Public Company Limited has invested in real-time air quality monitoring and analytics systems, as well as intelligent technologies to control and reduce pollutant emissions. These solutions not only enhance environmental management efficiency but also reduce long-term costs and improve operational precision—key elements in the development of sustainable pollution control strategies.
Real-time air quality monitoring and analytics systems
The Company has implemented clear measures to improve air quality management across all operational areas, particularly in high-traffic zones such as shopping centers and office buildings, with a focus on preventing particulate matter—PM2.5 and PM10—which pose health risks to both customers and employees. In 2024, Central Pattana installed and upgraded indoor air filtration systems, including Outdoor Air Units (OAU) and Air Handling Units (AHU), using MERV 14 to MERV 16 filters. These filters exceed legal standards in capturing fine particles and allergens. Airflow patterns were also redesigned to ensure proper circulation and maintain safe indoor air quality levels.
Additionally, real-time indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring systems were installed in pilot projects to measure PM2.5, PM10, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide levels. These systems are integrated with automated ventilation control, activating when air quality exceeds acceptable thresholds—enhancing preventive health protection for occupants and improving operational responsiveness.
The Company also adopted HVAC Air Scrubber technology and AI-based Chiller Optimization to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne toxins in air ducts, while optimizing energy use without compromising indoor air quality.
Air quality in all buildings is regularly monitored and reported, in line with standards set by the Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, and guidelines under LEED and WELL Building Standards. These ensure that PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations remain within legal limits and support the Company’s strategic commitment to stakeholder health and wellbeing.
Collaborative Partnerships
Central Pattana recognizes that achieving air quality goals requires more than internal management—it depends on effective collaboration across sectors. As such, the Company actively partners with government agencies, private organizations, and local communities, fostering knowledge exchange and resource-sharing to establish best practices in air quality management and reinforce collective sustainability resilience.
Through an integrated management approach and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, Central Pattana has laid a solid foundation for effective air quality control that generates long-term economic and social value. This forward-thinking strategy directly addresses the evolving challenges of environmental change and rising societal expectations.
