<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe Forestias is a neighborhood project, with residences, hotels, hospitals, offices and commercial areas \u2013 as well as 30 rai of forest \u2013 under the concept of \u2018The Land of Everlasting Happiness\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project will open many opportunities to reduce carbon emissions or \u2018fix\u2019 them into living organisms such as trees. Thailand faces great threats from climate change and worsening drought and floods. Rising temperatures could also trigger a vicious cycle of surging power demand for residential cooling. The Forestias can contribute critical research and action.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TGO Executive Director Mrs. Prasertsuk Patoonsittichai said the initiative could provide vital insights for new practices in property development in Thailand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cGlobal warming and climate change already have a wide impact due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. In this situation, Thailand has shown its intention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7-20% by 2020 and 20-25% by 2030. To achieve this goal all sectors must contribute.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cTGO is honored to be working with MQDC. We aim to support academic research to assess the amount of greenhouse gases that can be reduced or stored from activities at The Forestias. The Forestias will implement activities by following TGO mechanisms including the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER) and Low Emission Support Scheme (LESS).\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr. Kecha Thirakomen, CEO of EEC DT Green Power<\/strong>, said the MoU would help develop and assess critical new approaches to counter climate change.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cUnder MQDC\u2019s principle of \u2018For All Well-Being\u2019, The Forestias aims to provide the best life to its residents, whether human or animal, plant, or insect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking under MQDC\u2019s principle of \u2018sustainnovation\u2019, EEC-DT has helped develop efficient power and utility systems, such as district cooling and a centralized utility plant (CUP). A \u2018cooling basin\u2019 uses architectural design features to create a cool climate. The collaboration will assess the effectiveness of these engineering systems we have planned, which are expected to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 40% compared with conventional projects,\u201d said Mr. Kecha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Mr. Kittiphun Ouiyamaphun, Senior Vice President of The Forestias by MQDC,<\/strong> said the collaboration would drive a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from real estate projects at a national level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cThe inspiration of MQDC to develop The Forestias is to create the world\u2019s first city under the concept of \u2018The Land of Everlasting Happiness\u2019 with a focus on designing all environments to connect with nature. Under this collaboration we aim for The Forestias to help measure greenhouse gas emissions, including the certification of greenhouse gas emissions reduction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will provide The Forestias as a pilot area for academic support in assessing the amount of greenhouse gases, including various activities to reduce or store greenhouse gases.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The MoU was signed at Research & Innovation for Sustainability Center (RISC) by Mr. Keerin Chutumstid of MQDC,<\/strong> Mrs. Prasertsuk Patoonsittichai of TGO, and Mr. Kecha Thirakomen of EEC DT Green Power.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/propholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/TGO-MQDC-EECDT-MOU-2.jpg\")
