Planning, implementation, monitoring and/or evaluation of all programs related to Energy and Climate Change through the utilization of Information and Communication Technology 

     National Chiayi University (NCYU) has established a comprehensive ICT-based monitoring and management framework that supports the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of all programs related to energy and climate change.

•    ISO 50001 Energy Management System:

NCYU has adopted the ISO 50001 Energy Management System, integrating digital power management and smart meters to track and control electricity consumption across campus. In 2024, as part of the system’s continuous optimization, the university upgraded high-energy-consuming chillers and HVAC systems through testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB)...

•    Energy Diagnostic Center (EDC):

The EDC provides free energy audits for local businesses using ICT-based data collection and analysis tools. Students receive ICT-oriented training and participate in on-site diagnostics, gaining practical experience in energy data analysis and report generation.

•    International Collaboration on Rice Carbon Emission Monitoring:

In partnership with Chiang Mai University, NCYU applies ICT technologies to monitor rice cultivation carbon emissions through remote sensing, data sharing, and online symposiums, fostering cross-border knowledge exchange.

•    Air Quality Monitoring and Smart Street Lighting:

NCYU collaborates with the Environmental Protection Administration to operate a real-time ICT air monitoring station on the Sinmin Campus. Smart streetlights automatically adjust brightness based on ambient conditions and relay energy data into the university’s EMS for optimization.

•    Energy and Water Management Systems:

The EMS integrates data from smart meters, lighting, and HVAC systems for real-time monitoring and anomaly detection. The dashboard interface visualizes energy performance across buildings, assisting decision-makers in sustainability planning. Smart water meters, connected to the same system, provide instant alerts for leaks via LINE, minimizing waste.

     This ICT-driven framework ensures data transparency, data-driven decision-making, cross-departmental integration, and continuous improvement in energy and climate management performance across the campus, contributing to SDG 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 13.
