Designed to support Thailand’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 and Net Zero Emissions by 2065, Mitsubishi Electric Thailand has launched the Sustainable Building Collaboration 2024 initiative. The program aims to foster an ecosystem for sustainable building, combining advanced automation, green building technologies, and multi-sector partnerships.
The Sustainable Building Collaboration reinforces Mitsubishi Electric Thailand’s commitment to supporting carbon reduction within the industrial sector, where the company plays a central role in the initiative by developing and deploying solutions for real-time energy management.
This includes the GENESIS64 SCADA platform, which links machinery and equipment to monitor and manage energy usage across operations. By enabling organizations to see and analyze their energy consumption data in real-time, this system allows the precise control of carbon emissions and enables businesses to make informed decisions about sustainability strategies.
As part of the launch event, held at the True Digital Park in Bangkok, Mitsubishi Electric showcased SUSTIE, its Net Zero Energy Building (ZEB) prototype, which is designed to prioritize both sustainability and occupant comfort. SUSTIE integrates IoT-based controls to manage temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels, ensuring optimal indoor conditions while maintaining energy efficiency.
Green Partnerships
In addition to demonstrating how its technology can help to achieve a Net Zero future, Mitsubishi Electric Thailand also used the Sustainable Building Collaboration launch event to announce a partnership with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). Together, they are creating a supportive framework to enable businesses to comply with new environmental regulations, such as mandatory greenhouse gas reporting and carbon footprint certification.
The TGO is implementing mechanisms for carbon certification and verification at both organizational and product levels, which will aid Thai businesses in meeting global sustainability standards, while Mitsubishi Electric is providing its expertise in data tracking and energy management, helping local industries streamline their compliance with carbon reduction targets.
The Sustainable Building Collaboration initiative also includes partnerships with key financial players such as Krungsri Bank, which can offer green financing and tailored credit solutions that allow companies to invest in sustainable technologies and upgrade infrastructure. Here, Mitsubishi Electric Thailand and its partners are providing guidance and resources to help SMEs transition to eco-friendly operations. This collaboration forms part of a holistic approach that is needed to drive effective, long-term sustainability across Thailand’s diverse industrial landscape.
Sustainability is a shared goal achievable only through collaboration, said Tetsuya Shinohara, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Electric Asia (Thailand)
Inclusive Ecosystem for Net Zero Progress
Mitsubishi Electric Thailand’s Sustainable Building Collaboration 2024 initiative is a key part of the company’s strategy to foster a collaborative environment for sustainable growth. By uniting manufacturers, building operators, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions, Mitsubishi Electric Thailand hopes to create an ecosystem that supports the entire lifecycle of sustainable building—from planning and construction to operation and maintenance. The company aims to make a tangible impact on the journey toward Net Zero, setting a precedent for sustainable building practices across the region.
"Today, we recognize that sustainability is a shared goal, achievable only through collaboration," said Tetsuya Shinohara, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Electric Asia (Thailand). "The Sustainable Building Collaboration is our commitment to driving meaningful change by combining resources and expertise with partners across all sectors. Together, we are working to create an ecosystem that empowers industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and embrace a sustainable future."
