Abstract
“Global warming” is still an ongoing threat. What we are facing now is not merely a matter of our daily life, but a matter of survival. In human history, we human of all clans have never had such unity over an issue. “Energy Saving and Carbon Emission Reduction” is not only a consensus for all mankind, but also a constructive precaution to the ways we live. As a member of this global village, we should devote ourselves to protecting earth. The research subject is “ Energy conservation and carbon reduction in university campus.”The purpose of this research is to propose an effective way of energy conservation in campus that is both demonstrative and educational. The research aims to turn university campus into an application and showcase platform for energy conservation and carbon reduction technology. Research work in theory or realization of technological application can foster a new mindset in university students. A campus that brings energy conservation and carbon reduction to work will nurture a next generation more caring to human civilization. The research proposed a framework based on PDCA circle, and a dynamic-circle implementation system of campus energy conservation and carbon reduction is created. The implementation system encompasses(1)PLAN: Problem identification, problem analysis, and comprehensive investigation on energy infrastructure and consumption data. (2) DO: Problem simplification and strategic analysis on alternatives. (3) CHECK: Integration of most advanced technology of energy conservation and carbon reduction. A check-up on current technology in order to propose the best-in-class solution for campus energy conservation and carbon reduction (4) ACT: A field research is conducted in National Tsing-Hua University campus in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The research conclusion is an executable energy conservation and carbon reduction plan, which includes a practical business model of EMC (Energy Management Contract). Maximizing University budgeting practice, in tandem with external financial aide, can popularize the concept of campus energy conservation and carbon reduction worldwide. The expected target for energy saving in this research project is 50 to 60 percent in illumination and 25 to 30 percent in air conditioning, totaling an effective saving of 20 to 24%. According to PDCA sequence, review will be conducted annually to optimize energy usage and consumption. The system can dynamically collect the utilization date and accommodate future upgrades in energy saving technology. PDCA is conducted accordingly for such upgrade. This completes a dynamic-circle implementation system. Campus energy saving is an enclosed type of approach. The result is predictable and implementable. The conclusion of the research is expectedly to be applied to any architectural energy saving and carbon emission reduction.
