COBRA is recognized as a world leader in manufacturing of high-quality composites products such as premium Windsurf, SUP, Kite, and Surfboards.

Sustainability has been an integral part of the company’s long-term direction since it was founded 40 years ago. Cobra is taking it to the next level and intends to certify the site in Chonburi according to one of the most advanced certification systems for sustainable industrial locations provided by DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council).

On 28th of June, the sustainability experts of EGS-plan have therefore visited the site to assess the location regarding environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The Cobra team introduced the significant sustainability efforts they have already undertaken such as the installation of a biomass combustion for process heat, planting of more than 2500 trees and the establishment of a waste treatment center. Therefore, we are confident, that a certification will be achieved.

The 66 Tower is an office building with convention and retail areas which has 28 stories with a gross floor area of 58,755 sqm. EGS-plan’s partner company Africus Co., Ltd. was the LEED consultant in the project and achieved a LEED Gold certification for the building.

EGS-plan has contributed to the project with our commissioning services including fundamental and enhanced commissioning. While fundamental commissioning covers a basic quality control during the design and construction of a building, enhanced commissioning goes beyond and includes a design review, a review of contractor submittals, development of systems manuals, training reviews, and a 10-month review of the building operation.

The result is a building which performs regarding energy efficiency as well as thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort as defined by LEED. This leads to an outstanding environmental performance and provides a healthy and productive work environment for the building occupants.

Harn engineering is one of the leading companies in refrigeration and air-conditioning in Thailand. Harn wanted to have a landmark project to demonstrate their products and services as well as show their dedication to sustainability.

Accordingly, EGS-plan created a sustainability concept in close cooperation with the project architect Acharawan Chutarat which comprises features such as ecological and healthy building materials, excellent thermal comfort and air quality, reduced water consumption, handicapped accessibility, and a flexible media infrastructure like a grand number of receptacles and internet connections. The lighting concept features innovative approaches like extensive daylight use and power by ethernet lighting. Besides an energy-efficient VAV system, there will be one experimental room with floor cooling and chilled beams. Part of the energy demand of the building is covered by a photovoltaic system which also shades the glazed atrium in the center of the building.

The building has achieved DGNB Gold certification with an excellent 67.7% fulfillment score.
