In 2020, we have built our Main Campus in Suinan, Taichung, following 18 main standards and and 31 vice indicators under the 3 aspects of Green University Evaluation. Through the construction of smart environmental management system, we aim to optimize our efficiency in energy usage and decrease the amount of waste on campus. Our green initiatives have not only brought convenience and security to our students and faculties but also earned us the top prize of Sustainable Development Award in Education from Executive Yuan in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
