Apply building standards to minimise water use.
The school applies relevant building standards to improve water efficiency, minimize water use, and reduce water waste, including:
1. Green building standards: The school stipulates that new buildings and reconstructed buildings must follow the national green building standard EEWH and refer to the relevant criteria of water resources indicators to strengthen the protection and utilization of water resources and create a water-saving environment. The first phase construction project of the Lanyang Campus was approved and awarded the Green Building Label by the Ministry of the Interior in September 2006; the Hsu Shou-Chlien International Conference Center, which was completed on Tamsui Campus by 2018, obtained the same honor at Silver Level in May 2019.
2. Green procurement: When purchasing software and hardware equipment, consumables, and construction materials, the school always prioritizes products that are certified with the following five kinds of green labels: the environmental protection label, energy saving label, water saving label, green building material label, and carbon label.
3. Water efficiency labelling product: When repairing or replacing the faucet and toilet flushing equipment, equipment that conforms to the National Standard of the Republic of China (CNS) and has the water-saving label is fully adopted; There are 231 hi-tech waterless urinals installed in the whole school, which can save about 5.06 million liters of water every year (estimated at 6L/10 times per day).
4. Drought-tolerant plants: Local native plants are prioritized for campus planting. With the principle of vegetation diversity, both landscape beauty and ecological conservation are taken into consideration when planning landscape. More drought-tolerant plants are planted on campus every year to reduce water consumption and meet campus greening needs. The sprinkler irrigation system all over the campus also adopts water-saving valves, which can adjust the sprinkler irrigation time and intensity according to the weather conditions and reduce the water consumption of sprinkler irrigation.
