Greenhouse Gas Emissions
MCUT conducted its first greenhouse gas inventory in 2010 and set it as the baseline year. Inventory work resumed in 2022 in response to Taiwan's net-zero policy, and annual inventories have continued since then. All data have been verified by a third party.
Electricity Use and Energy Efficiency
In 2025, campus-wide electricity consumption was 17,117,031 kWh, down 0.0976% from 2024.
Electricity use intensity (EUI) was 94.44 kWh per square meter, a decrease of 0.10 kWh per square meter from the previous year.
2025 Energy-Saving Equipment Upgrades
MCUT continues to upgrade energy-consuming equipment such as lighting, air-conditioning systems, and cooling-water pumps. The electricity savings and carbon reductions below are estimated annual benefits.
| Improvement item | Estimated energy reduction | Estimated electricity savings (kWh/year) | Estimated carbon reduction (metric tons CO2e/year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 320 microwave-sensor lamps in parking areas | 80.9% | 33,638 | 15.94 |
| Air-conditioning equipment replacement in the Library and Information Building | 42% | 79,820 | 37.83 |
| Cooling-water pump replacement in the Innovation Building | 5% | 36,568 | 17.33 |
| Replacement of 600 panel lights | 55.4% | 39,432 | 18.69 |
Solar Power and Energy Storage
Phase I Solar Power
413.06 kWpRooftop Green Power Generation
Installed in March 2021 on the Mechanical Engineering Building, Innovation Building, and Teaching Building. In 2025, the system generated 467,275.6 kWh, with estimated cost savings of approximately NT$2,336,378.
As of December 2025, cumulative generation reached 2,329,462 kWh, equivalent to a carbon reduction of 1,104.16 metric tons.Solar Microgrid with Storage
30 kWpIntegrating Solar Power and Energy Storage
The campus solar microgrid with energy storage was completed in August 2024. In 2025, it generated 27,100 kWh, equivalent to a carbon reduction of 12.8 metric tons.
The microgrid helps improve renewable energy dispatching and campus resilience.Phase II Solar Power
548.6 kWpCompleted and Launched at the End of 2025
The second phase of solar power installation was planned in 2025 and completed by the end of December that year.
Facilities are located on the rooftops of the Phase VII and Phase IX faculty dormitories, Library and Information Building, Scholar House, and International Dormitory.Energy Management and Green Campus Action
Energy Monitoring and Management System
The energy monitoring system was launched in September 2023 to track campus-wide electricity use and strengthen the management of energy-consuming equipment. In December 2024, MCUT issued the second edition of its energy policy, covering energy control, energy-saving work, and performance review items to support source management.
With support from the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, MCUT became a 2024 demonstration counseling unit for the ISO 50001:2018 energy management system and carbon inventory, and received its audit certificate in December 2024.
Green Action in Campus Life
MCUT promotes carpooling for official vehicles, electric scooters, and eight 7 kW EV charging stations, inviting faculty, students, and stakeholders to participate in energy policy and move toward net-zero transition and carbon neutrality.
Through administrative management, MCUT advances green procurement, encourages green R&D and industry-academia collaboration, organizes community education on energy conservation and carbon reduction, and integrates green education into student literacy to support ESG and the SDGs.
