Rather, they rely on smart design, data-driven system management, and the efficient renovation of existing structures, such as hospitals and schools, which is a critical challenge for Bangkok\u2019s dense urban environment. By reducing energy expenditures in these high-use facilities, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) can redirect savings toward broader public development. A key highlight of the seminar was the progress report on the \u201cBMA Net Zero\u201d policy. Now in its second year, the initiative has already begun auditing the carbon footprints of all 50 district offices. The BMA is on track to complete assessments for all 77 affiliated agencies by the close of the 2026 fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expert speakers, including Bangkok\u2019s Chief Sustainability Officer Pornphrom Vikitsreth and representatives from Yokohama\u2019s Housing and Architecture Bureau, shared practical case studies, such as the ZEB renovation of the Tsurumi District Public Works Office. With over 70 participants from the public and private sectors, including Daikin Industries and the Japanese Business Alliance for Smart Energy Worldwide (JASE-W), the seminar provided a roadmap for adapting Japanese energy innovations to the Thai context, which reinforced the importance of international synergy in building a sustainable, low-carbon future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
