Completed in March 2013, Big C Di An is the 1st Commercial Building to achieve both LOTUS Certification and LEED Certification (US) and is the first Big C commercial center to be certified as a Green Building, illustrating Big C’s commitment towards a more sustainable Vietnam.
The building possesses many green features, such as high-performance insulating envelope, reflective roofing, water efficient fixtures, low VOCs materials, permeable hardscape materials, etc. The car parking roof has been covered with 1450 m² of solar panels that produced 231,430 kWh of renewable electricity during the first year of operation. Another notable feature is the ice storage system offering a cost-effective solution for the investor. Particularly, porous concrete was used to reduce stormwater runoff and refill the underground water.
Besides energy savings, the building recycles 100% of its waste water, offers a large parking space for bicycles including charging outlets for electric ones, covers and manages public pavement as a green public park benefiting Big C younger customers as well as local kids.
Thanks to all these efforts, Big C became the first building in Vietnam to be awarded with LOTUS Silver Certification in October 2013.
