2. On 29 September 2020, in the presence of members of the Occupational Safety and Health Committee, the President of NCUE signed the "Environment, Occupational Safety and Health Policy of National Changhua University of Education", as shown in Figure 1. It specifies the following: to build a sustainable and green university, faculty, staff, and students at NCUE should fully comply with the relevant laws and regulations, participate in educational programs, maintain campus security, prevent accidents, cherish the environmental resources, act on energy conservation and carbon reduction, and commit to pollution prevention and continuous improvement. As a member of the global village, everyone should fulfill their responsibilities to build an ecological campus free of accidents and pollution, as shown in Figure 2.

Please refer to annex 12.4.1A–Environment, Occupational Safety, and Health Policy, as well as the website of the Center of Environment, Occupational Safety and Health for posting laws, regulations, and rules applying to faculty and staff:

3. Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Rooftops

In response to relevant national policies, NCUE completed the addition of solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of each building of NCUE by the end of July 2022, with a total capacity of 2091.375kWp for the Jinde Campus and 571.5kWp for the Baoshan Campus, as shown in Table 1. In addition to reducing the net load of the buildings, in some scenarios (such as off-peak months) the buildings can be fully dependent on solar photovoltaic electricity. Given the reduced electricity current of the distribution lines, line loss can be reduced by about 3% and energy efficiency can be improved. Moreover, solar panels can block direct sunlight from the roof. According to research data, they can reduce the heat energy of direct sunlight on the roof by 38% and reduce the temperature of the roof by 2.8°C. With the building’s improved overall temperature environment, air conditioning use can be reduced to improve energy efficiency. The planning and design drawings (partial) of the building’s rooftop solar photovoltaic panels on the Jinde Campus and the Baoshan Campus in 2021-2022 are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Please refer to Annex 12.4.1BRooftop Solar Photovoltaic Building Panels Planning and Drawings on the Jinde and the Baoshan Campuses.

4. NCUE held second-hand markets in 2021 and received over 500 donated items with total proceeds of over NTD$10,000. Donated goods in 2022 exceeded 200 items, and proceeds exceeded NTD$5,000 from sales. In 2023, the number of donated items reached nearly 100, with sales proceeds exceeding NTD$7,000 from sales. Please refer to Annex 12.4.1C–Second-Hand Markets.

5. NCUE organized the adoption of abandoned bicycles. Altogether, 30 bikes in 2020, and 31 bikes in 2021. Since the installation of YouBike stations at NCUE’s school gate in 2022, the number of students riding their own bicycles has been decreasing. There are very few abandoned bicycles, so we have not conducted a reclaiming process. In 2023, the program resumed, and 46 bicycles were adopted. Please refer to Annex 12.4.1D–Adoption of Abandoned Bicycles.

6. NCUE library runs a second-hand book donation platform. 219 books were donated in the 2021-2022 academic year, 316 books were donated in the 2022-2023 academic year, and 627 books were donated in the 2023-2024 academic year. Please refer to Annex 12.4.1E–Claiming Second-hand Books.

7. NCUE’s declaration of sustainability development.

The President of NCUE signed the “Commitment to Sustainability Development of National Changhua University of Education” in September 2022. Please refer to Annex 12.4.1F–Commitment to Sustainability Development.
