Action plan
|
Energy
conservation |
- Solar power generation systems are set up in the Tainan Science Park Plant and the Tongluo Plant in response to the government’s renewable energy policy.
- Interior remodeling started in 2020; LED lamp holders have been renewed and lights have been replaced by electricity-saving ones on each floor. Up to 72% are completed now and the effort is ongoing.
- Optimize energy efficiency of the ice machine and ice water pump system by replacing the pressurized motor located on the eighth floor of Phase III.
- Select appliances such as the ice-making machines, air-conditioners, refrigerators, and water dispensers carrying the national energy conservation symbol to minimize the electricity load.
- Set indoor AC temperature at 27 to 28 degrees.
- Encourage employees to make a habit of turning off lights and computers and unplugging them after use, and to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Install sun shading curtains to bring down indoor temperature and save AC consumption.
- Adjust the contract capacity to the most economical level.
- Reduce energy consumption of the transformer by supplying power generated from Phase III via wheeling.
|
Water
conservation |
- Change to sensor faucets to reduce the use of water.
- Replace the dosing treatment system for the cooling tower to significantly improve quality of water in the tower, extend the water refilling frequency, and reduce the amount of water to be refilled.
- Periodically eliminate obsolete water pipes and inspect the factory end to reduce the leakage rate.
- Eliminate losses from water splash by adding the protective cover on the cooling tower.
- Reduce water overflow from the cooling tower by adjusting the ballcock level thereof.
|
Waste
reduction |
- Paperless policy and discontinue useless paper-based documents
- Enforce the 3R policy: Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce.
- Promote reduced use of plastic bags and encourage reusable cups on the premises.
- Follow applicable requirements of the “EPA Waste Disposal Act” for the temporary storage, clearance, and treatment of various types of waste.
- Reuse documents destroyed in water.
