“Greenâ€? – this short word has become a synonym for nature and eco-related topics. Today, the word “Greenâ€? can coexist with everything from: merchandise, fashion, technology, food to architecture. We’ve heard of the Green Building concept for some time now, but not everyone knows what exactly makes one building accepted and certified as a green building. Let’s read the in-depth details in this 14th issue of 8HOURS. This volume also feature an internationally recognised green building certiďŹ cation system called LEED in Green Style column. It’s quite interesting to know how the measurement system works and which one of the buildings in Thailand has been LEED qualified. But since LEED is not the answer for all, a group of Thai architects and its alliances have decided to form a team to set a Thai building standard under “Thai Green Building Institute.â€? Find out the differences and similarities between the two standards in Possibility column. Also in the column My Space+My Design, we take you to a renovated head ofďŹ ce of PTT Thailand which is modern and inspired by the ďŹ ve elements of nature. The company has put the “Greenâ€? policy into practice for more than 30 years. In fact, the matter of who is certiďŹ ed in the Green building standard isn’t important as much as how they can maintain the standard and make it sustainable. At the end of the day, the good causes will return to everyone living on and sharing this mother earth. Don’t you think?

GREEN OFFICE We all can help reduce carbon emissions and save money for the company by going green at work. As we spend 8Hours a day at work, some small changes in our habits could protect the environment: 1. Eliminate the use of disposables in ofďŹ ce, for example, you can bring your reusable mug and dishware to work or there could be a policy to provide ďŹ ltered drinking water to reduce bottled-water waste. 2. Use carpool or travel on public transport.

Telecommuting, e.g. video conferencing, is also help reduces amount of employee travel. 3. Switch off the computer screen when you are not at the desk for extended periods. Peripheral equipment such as printers and scanners need not be constantly plugged in if they are only used occasionally. 4. Switch off the lights and air-conditioners when they are not in use. Also choose energy saving light bulb. 5. Grow plants at home and at your ofďŹ ce to improve indoor air quality. Interior air can sometimes be contaminated with toxic chemicals such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furniture, carpeting and paint. 6. When purchasing furniture for the ofďŹ ce, opt for pieces which are not made of composite materials and are easy to assemble and disassemble to increase the ease of recyclables at the end of their useful lives. 7. If your ofďŹ ce is planning to upgrade the furniture, you can donate the used furniture (which is still in good condition) to a charitable organization. 8. Implement a recycling system in the office. Set up recycling corner or boxes for paper, plastics, glass, etc.
