ORN, a leader in quality real estate development in Chiang Mai, has announced a partnership with SCG, a leader in construction materials and innovations for a better life, to create green housing projects. Utilizing SCG Green Choice labeled construction materials in all of ORN's housing developments, this collaboration addresses the needs of environmentally conscious consumers seeking a better quality of life. The materials are certified, environmentally friendly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save energy, all while striving towards the goal of creating a low-carbon society for a sustainable world.
Mr. Pridikorn Buranupakorn, CEO of Orn Sirin Holding Public Company Limited (ORN), stated that the company has announced a business partnership with SCG to create green housing projects by applying SCG Green Choice labeled construction materials in all ORN housing developments. This initiative meets the demands of consumers who care about the environment and quality living. With a commitment to sustainable housing development, ORN has consistently prioritized environmental considerations. The company has a policy of selecting environmentally friendly materials and technologies at every stage of construction, using SCG Green Choice labeled materials to create housing projects that cater to modern lifestyles.
Examples of sustainable materials include:
- Prefabricated roofs that use at least 45% less material than conventional steel, with a lifespan 1.5 times longer.
- Concrete roofs made with at least 13% recycled materials.
- Low-carbon concrete that reduces CO2 emissions during production, equivalent to planting 2.5 trees for every cubic meter used.
- SCG structural cement that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 17 kg per ton of cement.
- Concrete roof tiles that reduce natural resource usage by incorporating at least 5% recycled materials.
- Standard concrete that reduces CO2 emissions by at least 17 kg/m3 compared to OPC concrete.
- Ceramic tiles that can inhibit bacteria on their surface by up to 90%.
“This collaboration demonstrates ORN's commitment to developing housing projects that meet the needs of today's customers, who are increasingly concerned about the environment and quality of life. The use of SCG Green Choice labeled construction materials in ORN's housing projects can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from material production by 33,817 kilograms, equivalent to planting 3,381 trees. Additionally, it allows residents to experience environmentally friendly living and improved quality of life sustainably,” Mr. Pridikorn said.
Mr. Sukprachai Sittirangsarn, Director of Northern Region at SCG Distribution Co., Ltd., added that it is a great honor to collaborate with ORN in creating environmentally friendly housing, which aligns with the vision of both companies to innovate for a better life and meet the growing environmental consciousness of society.
Choosing Green Choice construction materials not only helps reduce environmental impact but also sets a new standard for sustainable living. SCG is committed to developing environmentally friendly innovations and products for a better life, responding to the continuously changing demands of the housing market.
We believe this collaboration will serve as a good model to encourage other private sectors to prioritize the development of a low-carbon society for a sustainable future together.
