NCKU has a policy ensuring all renovation and new buildings follow energy efficiency standards; therefore, NCKU established the Energy Conservation Promotion Committee in 2008. The committee requested the new buildings to comply with energy efficiency standards; existing buildings need to be improved for energy efficiency. In addition, the committee aims to reduce CO2 emissions, promote water reuse and energy management, and utilize renewable energy. Furthermore, the committee held 2 meetings annually to review three main types of energy consumption within the university: electric power, thermal energy, and building energy (water resources). The meeting not only analyzes energy usage and development but also discusses incentive measures for energy saving.
The NCKU Campus Plan and Operation Committee, which coordinates the choice of manufacturers and the design in accordance with the regulation submitted by Executive Yuan, must review any renovation or reconstruction projects for the new buildings in NCKU in accordance with "National Cheng Kung University's Directions on Payments for New Construction Projects". Plans must take into account environmentally friendly building practices (such as resource recycling and energy efficiency) for new construction, as well as planning for rainwater harvesting and energy-saving controls and additional management duties for facility upkeep.
In the aspect of practical measures, NCKU follows the green procurement goal, purchasing water-saving facilities in recent years, including toilets and faucets. NCKU has been awarded with 42 EEWH since 2005. The Energy Conservation Promotion Committee suggested that the future building plans be requested to follow the requirements of EAC and EL from green building regulations submitted by the Ministry of the Interior.
