In response to the global goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), which has a long-standing commitment to environmental protection and ecological conservation, has incorporated eco-friendly practices into its campus construction and landscaping plans. The university aims to set an example of carbon reduction through these efforts.

1. Low-Carbon Green Building Design:
NCKU's Green Magic School, as Taiwan's first nationally certified green building, not only uses eco-friendly construction methods but also takes renewable building materials and modular stackable designs into practice. In terms of enhancing  biodiversity, the building's exterior features rough stone surfaces designed to provide habitats for birds and reptiles. Bird-protection glass is also used to reduce bird collisions. Extensive planting of flowers and plants provides food sources for insects and birds. Additionally, the rooftop garden helps lower the temperature of the top floor, contributing to environmental greening and increased biodiversity.

2. Integrating Green Building into Contemporary Projects:
In both ongoing and upcoming construction projects at NCKU, green building design methods have been gradually adopted. For example, the NCKU Innovation Center, known as the Wang Hong Building, emphasizes energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. It incorporates features such as shading structures, ventilation expansion networks, and indoor corridors for air circulation. Existing wildlife and plants are preserved, as are historical buildings and the natural environment, creating a new type of research and innovation education space.

Through a comprehensive approach to green campus initiatives, NCKU's campus not only stands as a top international institution but also serves as a model for urban ecological conservation.
