1.Policy Objective

To advance campus sustainability and achieve net-zero goals, the University establishes a formal mechanism to ensure that all new constructions and renovation projects comply with national energy-efficiency standards and green-building requirements, aiming to reduce energy use, minimize greenhouse-gas emissions, and enhance occupant health and comfort.

2.Policy Basis

1. Based on the Environmental Protection and Occupational Safety Policy and the Campus Sustainability Framework.

2. Complies with Taiwan’s EEWH Green Building Evaluation System, covering nine indicators: biodiversity, greenery, water retention, daily energy saving, CO₂ reduction, waste reduction, indoor environment, water resources, and sewage/garbage improvement.

3. References international standards such as BREEAM (UK), LEED (USA), and GBTool (Canada).

3.Implementation Principles

1. During the design stage, all projects shall integrate green-building concepts, prioritizing energy-efficient materials and low-carbon technologies.

2. All new builds and renovations must submit an energy-efficiency and green-design compliance report for internal project review.

3. Construction must implement waste reduction, water reuse, and energy-saving installations, followed by post-completion energy and environmental performance verification.

4. Regular training and awareness programs shall be provided to promote energy-efficient and sustainable building practices across campus.

4.Performance Indicators

1. Green buildings currently account for approximately 25% of the total campus floor area.

2.Case

  - The Bamboo House (2023): Taiwan’s first licensed indigenous bamboo building, integrating local materials, safety, and cultural sustainability.

  - All campus buildings constructed after 2000 meet certified green-building standards, reflecting significant achievements in energy and water efficiency.

5.Continuous Improvement

The University shall continuously update energy-efficiency standards, monitor building performance, and revise this policy in alignment with evolving national and international sustainability frameworks to achieve a high-efficiency, low-carbon, and sustainable campus environment.
