 a.Energy efficient appliances usage are replacing conventional appliances

For example, replacing traditional T8 lighting fixtures with high efficiency T5 lighting fixtures, and also replacing the emergency exit lighting with LED lights.

Description:


Take the library lighting fixtures as an example, as there is a large quantity of lights and the library opening hours is up to 98 hours per week, replacing the existing lightings with high efficiency T5 lights can not only improve lighting quality, but also achieve energy conservation. The replacement of 2,347 40W and 20W traditional T8 lights in the library and the gymnasium can achieve an annual power saving of 280,000 kWh, which results in $850,000 in electricity savings and reduces CO2 emission by approximately 152 tons per year.


b. Smart Building implementation


Smart Cloud Management System

Electricity of Substation Record System

Smart Grid Control Systems

Example of Smart Building Implementation


Description:


By adopting the principle of low-carbon and energy conservation, internet and cloud technologies are applied based on empirical field specifications and user requirements, a web-based platform is used for the integration and smart-management of energy, water resources, campus management and security and hazard prevention. Power consumption and demand monitoring are recorded at real-time in order to understand the power consumption status of each building.


c. Renewable energy produce inside campus

Example of Solar Panel


Description:


In response to the government's renewable energy program and to create a green, energy-saving, and low-carbon enrivonment, YunTech has created a comprehensive, green-sustaining and environmental-friendly campus. Our team has outlined energy saving management programs, worked vigorously to secure budget for energy-saving facilities, and established thorough electricity monitoring and conservation systems on campus. In addition to these efforts, we have also worked with non-government organizations on applying rooftop spaces for solar power generation, which allows us to utilize school assets at its utmost efficiency. The rooftop areas of the northern campus are leased to vendors for the installation of solar energy generation system with a capacity of 495.88kWp. As illustrated in the chart, the total power capacity generated between 2013 and June 2017 has exceeded 2.15 million kWh with an annual average production capacity of 616,456 kWh. Moreover, this establishment has also provided additional rooftop heat obstruction benefits. The total estimated revenue from lease and electricity sale for 20 years is approximately $15 million.

Description:


In 2016, YunTech had an annual power consumption of 18,384,800 kWh, which is 310,400 kWh less than the 2015 annual consumption with an energy saving rate of 1.66%.


e. Elements of green building implementation as reflected in all construction and renovation policy


Design Building 3

Engineering Building 5


Management Building 3

Example of Green Building Label


Description:


Our school has 41 schoolhouses (including one is under construction); four of which were built after the year of 1999 and the project costs reached up to 50 million shall apply for Green Building Labels. Currently, there are three buildings acquiring Green Building Labels (Management Building 3, Design Building 3 and Engineering Teaching Building),and the constructing Industry-Academic-Research Building has already obtained a Diamond-Level Green Building Candidate Certificate, acquisition ratio is 80%.


f. Greenhouse gas emission reductions program


Laboratory Gases


Description:


In order to prevent the waste gas as greenhouse gas emission, the gas must be effective collection and treatment fitting our greenhouse gas emission reductions program.


g. Please provide total carbon footprint (CO2 emission in the last 12 months, in metric tons)


Example of Carbon Footprint



Description:


Based on the payment notices from Taiwan Water Corporation and Taiwan Power Company, and also the equivalent carbon dioxide emission level per kWh of power.
