6.4.2) Water reuse measurement

Since older buildings are generally not equipped with water recycling devices, the water recycling devices are mainly designed with newer buildings in mind. The Lanyang Campus Lecture Building, Hsu Shou-Chlien International Conference Center, etc., are all equipped with rainwater storage tanks. In October 2021, a rainwater collector (500L capacity) was newly installed behind the Song Tao Hall on the Tamsui Campus.

According to comprehensive statistics, the amount of rainwater recycled in the whole school accounts for about 0.34% of the overall water consumption of the campus. The recycled water is used for campus sprinkler irrigation, building floor cleaning, or toilet flushing. On the one hand, reducing the amount of tap water can reduce the expenditure on on-campus water and electricity; on the other, it can be used in tandem with environmental education to practice the field of campus environmental protection teaching.

In the future, we will continue to expand the installation of (rain) water recycling equipment, as well as increase the utilization rate of campus water recycling.
