As the world is undergoing significant changes, transitioning into a fully digital era and embracing the <\/span><\/strong>Go Green concept to contribute to environmental preservation, these factors are leading people towards a new normal lifestyle (Next Normal). Thus, “innovation” plays a crucial role in driving people’s lives and environmental care in this Next Normal era. Recently, SCG, as a leader in housing and construction innovation, organized the SCG Livin’novation 2022 event from April 5-10, 2022, showcasing cutting-edge innovations that address current and future changes, enhancing living standards, lifestyles, and urban development to improve quality of life while fostering sustainable growth for society and the environment.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Digital technology is a vital piece of the puzzle that helps everyone adapt to these future mega-trends. Therefore, SCG is leveraging digital technology to develop comprehensive housing and construction product, service, and solution innovations to deliver ‘better things’ to everyone (<\/span>BetterFuture Living). We are committed to improving every day. During the SCG Livin’novation 2022 event, we presented a vision of a better living environment and daily life in cities. This article compiles highlights of housing and construction innovations to inspire consumers and entrepreneurs across all industries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Innovations for Hygiene to Reduce Disease Risk and Improve Quality of Life Addressing <\/strong>Health & Well-Being<\/strong> are suitable for living in an era where COVID-19 is becoming endemic and PM 2.5 dust continues to raise concerns. We should take care of ourselves with these innovations, such as SCG Active AIR Quality<\/strong> Indoor Air Quality System<\/strong> that creates clean air, adds oxygen to homes, filters PM 2.5 dust and coronavirus from outside, while expelling stale air from the house. The SCG Bi-ion <\/em>airborne pathogen elimination ion system<\/strong> <\/em>can eliminate up to 99%* of pathogens and bacteria in the air, including COVID-19, while also helping to reduce PM 2.5 dust, ensuring safety for the respiratory system. The room partition system<\/strong> incorporates the ULTRA CLEAN COATING<\/strong> innovation applied to smart board walls.<\/p>

SCG makes cleaning easy, allowing for disinfection, thus ensuring health safety. Additionally, the sanitary ware from COTTO Health & Clean<\/strong> has advanced innovations to meet the needs of living in the Next Normal era, including antibacterial tiles, air-purifying tiles, automatic sanitary ware, touchless sanitary ware with sensor systems, and sensors for faucets. These innovations instill confidence in everyone at home, ensuring a safer and more secure living environment.<\/p>

Go Green Innovations for Sustainability, Environmentally Friendly, and Energy-Saving Homes include transforming empty rooftops into clean energy electricity generation sources with SCG Solar Roof Solutions<\/strong>. We introduced the new technology “Microinverter”<\/strong> that enhances solar installation to be more advanced, cost-effective, and safer. The “SCG Solar Roof Hybrid System”<\/strong> is a new option that meets the needs of homeowners and modern lifestyles, allowing for electricity generation during the day and storage for nighttime use, serving as an emergency power system for essential household appliances, helping to save up to 60% on electricity costs, depending on usage behavior, installation location, and weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Next, the Stay Cool Smart Insulation and Ultra Cool Inno Green Reflective Panels represent another step in innovation for cooler homes, providing more than just heat insulation but also being safe for health and environmentally friendly. With G-Care Insulation technology: Green-4 Series, they are certified with the ‘SCG Green Choice’ label, which certifies environmentally friendly products and services that promote good hygiene. SCG has many innovations certified with this label, covering structural products, roofing, ceilings, flooring, walls, sanitary ware, faucets, and garden decoration materials.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>

 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Currently, traditional construction methods are no longer sufficient. We are entering an era of ‘Construction Technology and Innovation’<\/strong> that will meet the needs of modern construction for business operators and various industries, while also elevating the construction sector in Thailand to the next level.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Construction Innovations Providing Multifaceted Value include rapid construction, high efficiency, precision, reduced risk, labor savings, reduced waste on-site, cost savings, and environmental friendliness. Examples include CPAC BIM, a 3D building modeling system that allows for simultaneous visualization of architectural design, structural work, and system work, enhancing design accuracy, construction material usage, error checking, and overall quality control. CPAC 3D Printing Solution breaks the limitations of traditional construction with technology that allows for the free-form shaping of structures and buildings as desired. CPAC Low-Rise Building Solution is a construction innovation using precast concrete systems that produce wall, floor, stair, and beam components in the factory, ready for immediate installation on-site, offering fully precast house designs (Fully Precast) for single-story homes, two-story homes, and townhomes, starting with a minimum order of just 8 units, managed by a professional team.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

 <\/strong><\/span>Building Efficiency Enhancements and Energy Savings highlight innovations such as SCG HVAC Air Scrubber, which improves indoor air quality by absorbing toxic gases within buildings, while reducing the cooling load of air conditioning systems by approximately 20-30%. The SCG IoT Sensing Thermostat is an intelligent wireless air conditioning control system that makes air conditioning smarter and more efficient, helping to save energy and reduce air conditioning costs by 15-60%.<\/span><\/p>

Because SCG’s innovation creation is not only to meet current needs, but SCG also looks ahead to the future, considering how lifestyles, society, and the world will change. Therefore, we continuously develop innovations that can address challenges and provide better quality of life for everyone.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Stay tuned for more great events that SCG is committed to presenting, including product innovations and solutions to enhance better living, at the next event, Architect’65, from April 26 to May 1, 2022, at Challenger Hall, Impact Muang Thong Thani.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
