Designing and Operating a Healthy Indoor Environment for Tenants and Building Occupants

• Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Beyond the use of low-VOC and environmentally certified materials described above, indoor air quality is maintained during building operations through effective HVAC and ventilation management that limits outdoor pollutants, together with indoor air quality monitoring to ensure clean and healthy air for tenants and building occupants.
• Water Quality & Access Water quality for both consumption and general use within the building is regularly tested to ensure safe and clean water for building occupants. In addition, the tenant manual requires on-site retail stores to sell only drinking water certified by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA), ensuring convenient access to clean, quality drinking water.
• Lighting & Daylight The Company designs its office buildings to provide occupants with adequate access to natural daylight, complemented by lighting systems suited to working needs, to support visual comfort, well-being, and productivity. For example, at CentralwOrld Offices, glazing accounts for 45% of the façade area. Combined with adequate floor-to-ceiling heights, this allows natural daylight to reach working areas, while dimming controls allow lighting levels to be adjusted to suit different uses.
• Thermal Comfort In addition to high-efficiency air-conditioning for energy performance, HVAC operations in the office buildings prioritize occupant comfort by maintaining appropriate indoor temperature and relative humidity levels throughout the working day.
• Hygiene & Infection Prevention The Company places importance on hygiene management within its buildings to reduce health risks for occupants and build confidence in the use of shared spaces, in line with its goal of applying the WELL Building Standard. For example, CentralwOrld Offices and G Tower have applied the WELL Health-Safety Rating principles in building management to strengthen hygiene measures and reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission within the buildings.
• Healthy Food & Nourishment Tenants have convenient access to a variety of healthy food and beverage options through on-site cafés and restaurants within the project, supporting nutritious food choices and healthy eating habits throughout the working day.
• Movement & Active Lifestyle The Company integrates active design principles by providing facilities that support daily physical activity. Specifically, centralwOrld Offices is equipped with bicycle parking and shower facilities for occupants engaging in physical exercise before or after work.
• Safety & Security The Company prioritizes the safety of tenants and building occupants under both normal and emergency conditions. Measures include security systems, building access control such as turnstiles with facial recognition or card authentication, area surveillance, emergency communication systems, fire protection systems, and evacuation plans. Personal data collected through these systems is managed in accordance with the Company’s privacy policy.

Beyond physical health, Central Pattana places importance on the mental and emotional well-being of tenants by designing indoor environments and spaces that help reduce stress and support a better quality of working life.

• Biophilic Design Building occupants are provided with opportunities to connect with nature through access to natural daylight, green spaces, and natural elements incorporated into the indoor environment. These features help create a relaxing atmosphere and support mental and emotional well-being.
• Rest & Restoration Spaces Shared spaces for rest and relaxation allow tenants to take breaks from work, reduce stress, and recharge throughout the working day.
• Well-being Activities The Company organizes and supports activities that promote the physical and mental well-being of tenants on an ongoing basis, including fitness sessions designed for office workers, after-work relaxation activities such as stretching and sound healing, and preventive health services such as discounted vaccinations in collaboration with healthcare partners. These activities encourage a healthier, more balanced, and more productive working lifestyle, and participant satisfaction is surveyed for each activity.

Central Pattana also fosters social interaction, engagement, and a sense of community within its office buildings, supporting positive relationships and experiences among tenants and building occupants.

• Community Spaces & Activities The Company provides shared spaces that encourage interaction, conversation, and the exchange of ideas among tenants and building occupants, together with activities that help tenants build relationships with one another, as well as opportunities for tenants to showcase their products and services to the building community, fostering a sense of belonging and a socially connected workplace community.
• Tenant Engagement The Company places importance on ongoing communication and engagement with tenants and building occupants. Its office buildings are supported by the CENTRAL OFFICES application, which provides building news, activity announcements, and exclusive privileges for tenants, as well as cardless building entry and guest invitations. In addition, the Company gathers tenant feedback through satisfaction surveys after activities to improve future activities and services, as part of its tenant relationship management.
• Inclusive & Universal Design The building’s common areas are designed based on Universal Design principles to provide equitable and accessible spaces for all users, regardless of age, physical or sensory abilities, and individual needs.
