- NCKU’s Sustainable Standards and Green Material Specifications for Buildings
The NCKU Office of General Affairs establishes mandatory sustainable building standards for all campus development and renovation projects, requiring new constructions to comply with the nine indicators of Taiwan’s Ecology, Energy Saving, Waste Reduction, and Health (EEWH) green building rating system. The policy strictly enforces green building material specifications: interior paints and coatings must hold certified Green Building Material or Eco-Labels; interior surface finishes must incorporate at least 20% certified green materials; and exterior pedestrian surfaces must integrate at least 50% permeable and recycled materials. These statutory engineering standards guarantee that all capital campus projects adhere to rigorous environmental criteria across design, construction, and life-cycle operations.https://main-oga.ncku.edu.tw/var/file/60/1060/img/399860663.pdf
- NCKU Official Registry of Certified Green Buildings: Institutional Implementation of EEWH Standards for New Builds
The NCKU Office of General Affairs publishes the official "Registry of Certified Green Buildings," providing verified administrative proof that campus new constructions and renovations rigorously comply with Taiwan's EEWH green building standards. The audited inventory documents that 11 campus buildings have officially attained certified Green Building Labels, spanning Certified, Bronze, Silver, and up to the distinguished "Gold Level" certification. These certified facilities are distributed across multiple campuses—encompassing industry-academia innovation complexes, academic teaching facilities, sports arenas, and the campus kindergarten—empirically demonstrating that sustainable construction standards are systematically and continuously operationalized across all capital developments at NCKU.https://main-oga.ncku.edu.tw/var/file/60/1060/img/1879/258315619.pdf
- NCKU Magic School of Green Technologies: Certified Zero-Carbon Model with LEED Platinum and EEWH Diamond
NCKU’s "Magic School of Green Technologies" (Sun Yun-Suan Green Building Research Center) serves as Taiwan’s pioneering zero-carbon demonstration building, having achieved both Taiwan’s highest EEWH Diamond Certification and the prestigious US LEED Platinum Certification. Encompassing 4,800 square meters of floor space, the facility integrates 13 advanced passive green building strategies—including natural buoyancy ventilation, deep daylight shading, and on-site renewables—achieving an extraordinary 65% energy reduction and a minimal Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 43 kWh/(㎡·yr). This flagship installation anchors NCKU’s leadership in sustainable architectural design, setting the benchmark for all subsequent university capital developments.https://www.msgt.org.tw/article/?article_item_id=22
