Commitment
The company has intention to operate its business simultaneously with efficient energy management, maintains to prevent the environmental impacts by adhering the Sustainable Resource Use Guidelines together with Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, which begins from designing the building structure, work process improvement, machine, equipment to conform to energy conservation.
Management Approach and Value Creation
Management guidelines
- Operations under regulations, laws and international standard.
- Since 2016, the company has policy to install Automated Storage & Retrieval System: ASRS (which is closed system, no lighting required in working result in reducing electricity consumption, besides of energy saving, the ASRS also helps to improve the efficiency in warehouse management)
- In 2017, the company have changed the air-conditioning system from Misting Fans to be Air-Condition and improve lighting system inside the store which need to use more electric energy, then, have policy to install Solar Rooftop to generate electric energy from solar energy for energy saving in long term, and the company have already installed completely for all stores in 2019, resulted in reduction of operating expenses of the company. Moreover, in 2020, the company have developed the Air-condition control program causing more reduction of energy consumption.
Details of Electricity consumption from transmission line
| Year | Numbers of Store | The quantity used for electric energy consumption (kWh) | The quantity used for electricity per area (kWh/square meter) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 77 | 69,305,359.00 | 45.25 |
| 2023 | 83 | 74,017,211.48 | 41.16 |
| 2024 | 90 | 93,910,127.92 | 56.86 |
Renewable Energy Consumption (Solar roof top)
Since the year 2017, the company has policy for renewable energy consumption, so the company starts the Solar Rooftop Installation Project. To generate electricity from solar energy, no effects on environment, as its clean energy and also helps to reduce the operating expenses. In 2024, the company has Solar Rooftop to generate its own electricity covered in all stores, totally 90 stores,
| Year | Total Stores | Stores with solar cell setting (Solar cell) | Electricity generated (kWh/year) | Co2ereduction (tCO2e/year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 77 | 77 | 79,611,969 | 44,662.31 |
| 2023 | 83 | 83 | 86,738,391.64 | 48,660.24 |
| 2024 | 90 | 90 | 87,963,304.64 | 49,347.41 |
As present, the Company has changed the store into a modern trade store, air conditioning systems have been installed and utilized, accounting for approximately 60-70% of the total electricity consumption in the building. The operation of conventional air conditioning systems typically requires the highest energy consumption when starting the air conditioning units, followed by a decrease in energy consumption after running for 2-3 hours. Energy usage increases again in the afternoon until around 3 p.m. when it begins to decrease until the system is turned off. However, solar cells start producing a relatively small amount of energy in the morning and reach their peak production between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The operation of the air conditioning system and the energy generated by the solar cells result in energy loss that is not fully utilized efficiently.
Siam Global House is the first company to align the operational control of the air conditioning system with solar energy production. This innovative approach allows the captured energy to be efficiently utilized, leading to a reduction in electricity consumption of approximately 15-20%.
