Upgrading Today for a Net-Zero Future
Bangkok, – To mark its golden jubilee, EEC Engineering Network, Thailand’s leading engineering consultancy firm, has launched a major strategic platform, “The NOVA Community x 50th EEC Anniversary.” The event, centered on the concept of “Re:Build – Transforming Old Buildings for a Carbon-Free World,” brought together policymakers, financiers, and technology experts to drive the Thai building sector toward the Thailand Net Zero Carbon 2050 goal. Celebrating five decades of expertise, EEC aims to navigate the industry through increasing pressure from climate change and impending environmental legislation. The forum emphasized that retrofitting existing structures is not only environmentally critical but economically vital.
Data presented at the forum indicated that the building and construction sector is responsible for approximately 37% of global carbon emissions, largely from operational use. While demolishing and rebuilding generates massive "embodied carbon," the "Re:Build" approach—upgrading existing structures—can reduce energy use by 20–40%, and in some cases, over 50%, offering immediate carbon reduction.
With over 70% of buildings in Bangkok being older than 20 years—many located in prime areas near mass transit—retrofitting is identified as a crucial tool for simultaneous reduction in construction carbon, energy consumption, and commuting-related emissions.

We’re deeply grateful to all our green-minded exhibitors for being part of The NOVA Expo 2025, a dynamic gathering of groundbreaking innovations and forward-thinking technologies — all working toward a better, more sustainable world.
At The NOVA Expo, we don’t just talk about change — we act on it. We’re proud to announce that this year’s event is officially a Carbon Neutral Event. Every step you take at the expo leaves no carbon footprint. We’ve offset 100% of our emissions with certified carbon credits to help minimize environmental impact and build a cleaner future for all.
Together, we’re making a difference — and this is just the beginning. Let’s keep innovating. Let’s keep moving forward. Let’s shape a zero-carbon future, together.
