The inception of a new HQ building in 2014 for Tenaga National Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s largest electric utility company, came with ambition and expectations. Envisioned as a sprawling campus, it was to be a next-gen future-ready workplace, and certified to the highest green-building rating in the country.

Eight years on, with GBI Platinum certification achieved and the moniker in part adopted, TNB augurs a paradigm shift in its workplace culture and workforce development mediated through sustainable architecture.

The recently completed 166,000 sqm TNB Platinum informs a masterplan that connects the various entities within the company’s brownfield grounds.
