Due to the long history of Tamkang University, older buildings are generally not equipped with water recycling devices. Therefore, the school stipulates that new and renovated buildings should follow relevant water resources indicators of the national green building standard and set up water recycling equipment accordingly. New buildings, such as the Lecture Building at the Lanyang Campus and the Hsu Shou-Chlien International Conference Center at the Tamsui Campus, are equipped with rainwater storage tanks following the requirements of the Green Building Standards.
In terms of wastewater treatment, our school has invested in relevant research and has achieved fruitful results, including the project "Total Recycling and Cleaning Process of Ceramic Filter Membrane for Waste Incineration Recycling Production Wastewater" and the patent of "Fluorinated Wastewater Treatment System" to improve wastewater recycling technology, as well as to enhance the efficiency of wastewater treatment.
Starting in 2021, the school not only increased the number of rainwater recycling equipment (rainwater harvesting) but also coordinated with the sewage treatment plant, relying on self-employed water trucks to carry reclaimed water from the sewage treatment plant for campus sprinkler irrigation, floor cleaning, and toilet flushing use, continuously increase the campus water reuse rate, while reducing the cost of sewage treatment.+F16
