NCKU Architecture Team Receives Excellence Award at 2023 Presidential Hackathon, Presented by President Tsai
The "Building Carbon Reduction Diagnosis Team," composed of NCKU, the Institute of Architecture and the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering under the Ministry of the Interior, the New Taipei City Government's Public Works Department, and the Taiwan Architecture Center, participated in the 2023 Presidential Hackathon. They successfully advanced through the competition and ultimately received the honor of an outstanding team. President Ing-Wen Tsai personally presented the award on September 24 at the Presidential Office.
The Presidential Hackathon encourages public-private collaboration for co-creation, allowing various sectors to apply government open data and innovative technologies to collectively address societal issues. The top five "Outstanding Teams" are selected each year, and the awards are presented by the President. This year marked the 6th edition of the Presidential Hackathon, with the theme "Zero Carbon Transformation, Happiness Progress." According to the official website, there were 154 proposals this year, with 20 passing the initial selection, and the final selection yielding 5 outstanding teams.
The NCKU team, led by Professor Yaw-Shyan Tsay and Associate Professor Yang-Ting Shen of the Department of Architecture, included graduate students Chih-Yao Wang and Jui-Hung Lin. They collaborated with a cross-disciplinary "Building Carbon Reduction Diagnosis Team" involving the central and local governments. The team integrated the Low Carbon Building Labeling System (LEBR) with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This technology enables precise assessment of building carbon emissions in the early stages of planning and design. Through the visual interface of a 3D model, planners and designers can instantly see the actual carbon reduction achieved by each strategy.
