7.2.4) Plan to reduce energy consumption
Have an energy efficiency plan in place to reduce overall energy consumption.

The university has introduced the ISO50001 Energy Management System to undertake campus energy review operations to master energy-intensive units, spaces, and equipment, and further implement energy consumption management. Through the 80/20 rule, using energy baselines, energy performance indicators and other inspection tools, the school's general affairs unit continuously promotes energy efficiency-related work.

In addition, the university holds an annual meeting of the Environmental Sustainability Promotion Committee to discuss the energy-saving plans of the three campuses in the new academic year, and to regularly supervise and review the implementation of each campus plan. In response to the problem of climate change and warming, and in line with the Ministry of Economic Affairs' promotion of the "1% annual power saving" plan for government agencies and schools, the Tamsui campus still aims to reduce the EUI value by 1% in the 2022 academic year, and has formulated a project plan to reduce overall energy consumption, including:

1. Interface upgrade and expansion project of the existing energy monitoring and management system.
2. The improvement project of the central air-conditioning main unit of the College of Education.
3. The improvement project of high-light lighting in the basketball area of the sports field.
4. Traditional classroom lighting improvement project.

Additionally, in cooperation with the General Affairs Office to guide the implementation of energy-saving management in each building, the energy managers precisely record the electricity consumption situation of each space, conducts electricity consumption analysis, and according to the analysis, provide guidance to units with higher energy consumption for energy-saving management, as well as discussing and improving the electricity consumption situation of each space.

The electricity bill of the Tamsui Campus has fallen from its peak of NTD 91.26 million/year to NTD 66.28 million/year in 2020, and to NTD 62.69 million/year in 2021. Electricity consumption has decreased year by year.
