Elements of Green Building Implementation as Reflected in All Construction and Renovation Policies
The construction and renovation policies on campus reflect a comprehensive commitment to green building standards. Each building adheres to the Taiwan Green Building (EEWH) evaluation system, covering key areas such as greening, water retention, energy savings, waste reduction, and indoor environmental quality. Specific elements include:
1. Greening and Water Retention: All buildings maintain at least 15% green area, permeable paving, and retention designs to support natural water infiltration and reduce runoff.
2. Energy Efficiency: Policies require external shading and balcony features for efficient building shell insulation, while energy management systems and high-efficiency HVAC units are standard for air-conditioning. LED lighting and natural lighting through well-placed windows contribute to lighting efficiency.
3. Water Conservation: Water-saving, two-stage flush toilets, and rainwater recycling systems are standard features, with recycled water used for flushing.
4. Waste Management and Sewage Improvement: Policies ensure that domestic drainage connects to sewage systems, while recycling systems and waste separation reduce landfill contributions. Animal-resistant garbage bins also maintain cleanliness.
5. Indoor Environmental Quality: The indoor environments prioritize adequate lighting, low-emission, eco-friendly building materials, and minimalist designs that enhance air quality and reduce pollution.
Examples from Campus Buildings: Minsyong and Simin campuses gained ISO 50001 certification, while several buildings, including the Science and Engineering Hall, Multi-Purpose Instruction Building, and the College of Management buildings A and B, are recognized with Green Building Mark Certificates. These buildings implement green measures like permeable paving, efficient air-conditioning, LED lighting, water-saving toilets, rainwater recycling systems, and eco-friendly materials that align with EEWH evaluation standards.
