6.3.4) Water-conscious building standards
Apply building standards to minimise water use.

The school applies relevant building standards to improve water resource efficiency, minimize water use, and reduce water waste, including:

◆Green building standards: The school stipulates that new (or renovated) buildings must follow the national green building standard, following the criteria of water resources guidelines related to these standards to strengthen the protection and utilization of water resources and create a water-saving environment. The first phase of the construction project of the Lanyang Campus was 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 the Tamsui Campus in 2018, obtained the same honor at Silver Level in May 2019.
◆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.
◆Water efficiency label: When repairing or replacing the faucet and toilet flushing equipment, the university exclusively uses equipment that conforms to the National Standard of the Republic of China (CNS) and carries the water-saving label; 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).
◆Water-saving sprinkler irrigation system: The sprinkler irrigation system all over the campus 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.
