The regulation of water pressures in office buildings was also implemented along with the installation of automatic tree watering system to improve the Bank’s water-use efficiency. In 2021, ttb reduced electricity and water consumption intensity by 35.8% and 39.7%, respectively, compared to 2019, with over 1.8 million Baht invested in the improvement of resource consumption effectiveness within theHeadOffice building. The significant decrease in resource consumption was mainly due to the Work from Home Policy resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With our continuous efforts in improving the efficiency of the Bank’s operation, ttb received the ASEAN Energy Awards 2021 and Thai land Energy Awards 2021 with an Excellence Level in the Energy Conservation- Designated Building category.
