Current Codes
Thailand’s Building Energy Code only applies to commercial and government buildings and was last updated in 1995. The code covers building envelope, HVAC, and lighting requirements. The code is mandatory for all new construction, and existing buildings were given three years to update and comply with the code by using 55 watts per square meter of floor area or less. In 2002, Thailand began working on a new code based in part on ASHRAE 90.1, but nothing has been finalized.
