1. A brownfield refers to an industrial site that is now being prepared for redevelopment. The original site of NCUE's Jinde Campus was initially planned as a brewery from 1956 to 1960. However, the brewery construction plan was terminated due to insufficient water quality for beer production. The remaining factory buildings were subsequently converted into the present-day Yi -hui Hall, which now serves as an exhibition space for artworks by students from the Department of Fine Arts.

2. At NCUE's Baoshan Campus, previously unused container houses (Figure 2) were removed to make way for the installation of energy storage and solar photovoltaic systems, thanks to a collaboration with Ørsted Energy Company., which donated a megawatt-scale energy storage system (Figure 3). This site has been successfully developed into a research and demonstration space for renewable energy and microgrid research, promoting education, visits, and industry-academia cooperation in the field of green energy. The megawatt-scale energy storage system is currently the largest facility of its kind among colleges and universities in Taiwan. Through providing functions such as peak shaving and valley filling, the energy storage system effectively enhances campus energy conservation.
