LEED PLATINUM – A MILESTONE OF SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
Unlike rating systems that primarily focus on the design and construction stages, LEED O+M focuses on how a building is operated and managed on a daily basis:
- Does the building use energy and resources efficiently?
- Are building operations managed in a sustainable manner?
- Is indoor environmental quality given adequate attention?
- Do improvement measures create long-term value for occupants and the environment?
For CENTEC TOWER, LEED certification is not only a recognition of the building’s achievement, but also demonstrates its commitment to continuously improving building operations and management throughout its lifecycle. This further reflects a growing trend in Vietnam: existing buildings not only need to be designed sustainably from the outset, but also need to be continuously operated, managed, and improved for greater efficiency.
With this achievement, CENTEC TOWER adds another notable milestone to the development of green buildings in Vietnam. At the same time, it serves as an inspiration for the upgrading and transformation of existing buildings toward greater efficiency, stronger sustainability, and a greener future.
