G Tower, Bangkok: 21,000 m² across two LEED Gold wings

RhinoROC panels run through both wings of G Tower, one of Bangkok's landmark office buildings, with AXA in the South Wing and Huawei in the North Wing. The tower's total is 21,000 m².

AXA's insurance headquarters came first, in 2016, followed by Huawei's Thai headquarters in 2017. Both wings are LEED Gold, and in total the tower stands on 21,000 m² of Rhino floor.

RhinoROC was the panel Rhino launched in 2010 from its new plant in China, the business Tok built after taking the brand there and now runs with Jackie Dai. It is resistance-welded and tested by Intertek in the US to CISCA 2007, EN 12825 and MOB PF2. In a building aiming for LEED Gold, underfloor air distribution helps. Rhino puts the savings at up to 10% off chiller size and at least 20% off cooling energy.
