As part of our ongoing celebration of Best in Building Health winners, we’re spotlighting the Stock Exchange of Thailand for their impressive achievements in Building Health for All at their iconic Bangkok-based tower.

AT A GLANCE

Awards:

Highest Scoring Viral Response Module

Project: The Stock Exchange of Thailand, Bangkok, Thailand

Consultant: SCG Building and Living Care Consulting

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) office is a prominent landmark in one of Bangkok's fastest-growing commercial business districts. This award-winning Fitwel Certified project emerged as a trailblazer in the realm of health and well-being in 2020 by becoming the first project to achieve Fitwel’s highest rating of 3 stars, marking a historic achievement for Asia. Since then, SET has won multiple Best in Building Health awards, obtained certification for Fitwel's Viral Response Module, and maintained a 3-Star Rating in 2022. SET was recognized for maintaining the Highest Scoring Module once again, thanks to the dedication and commitment of both property teams and SCG Building and Living Care Consulting (SCG).
