National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) effectively manages its on-campus energy usage through the use of separate electricity meters for various departments and units. The allocation of electricity costs is based on NCKU's "Electricity Quota Implementation Measures for Departments and Units" and "Electricity Quota Implementation Measures for Various Centers." The university generates electricity consumption charts every two months to help units under its purview plan for energy conservation in a timely manner.
This approach allows NCKU to effectively monitor departments, buildings, or floors with higher energy consumption. The main electrical substations across the university are equipped with a monitoring system, allowing real-time tracking of electricity consumption. Any anomalies in usage are immediately detected and addressed to reduce energy consumption.
By monitoring water meter usage in different buildings and analyzing electricity consumption charts, NCKU can compare electricity consumption trends on a monthly and annual basis across campuses and departments. This enables the university to identify unusual electricity consumption patterns promptly and address potential energy losses, contributing to its goal of achieving an energy-efficient and sustainable campus.
NCKU also conducts regular maintenance and repair of its on-campus electrical equipment. The data collected through the university's in-house energy management system, managed by the NCKU Center for Industrial Sustainability, is used as a reference by NCKU's Energy Conservation Promotion Committee and the university's Facilities and Property Management Division for discussing energy-saving technologies, methods, and strategies in line with the transition to net-zero emissions.
The Energy Technology and Strategy Research Center at NCKU evaluated energy efficiency in Taiwan's large public infrastructure, focusing on the Taichung metropolitan area. The study proposes a method to integrate urban form, energy use, residential patterns, and policies to develop an urban energy map, aiming to guide future zoning and time-based energy management improvements.
