To improve the poor energy efficiency of Taiwan's buildings, the government has already decreed that critical elements such as the building envelope, air conditioning system, and illumination be included in the "green building provisions" for buildings 'technical specifications. The policy officially took effect in January of this year, and henceforth, all new buildings must be designed in conformity to the "green building" standards.
為改善台灣建築能源效率不彰的問題，政府雖已將「外殼節能」納入建築技術規則把關，但對於耗電極大的空調和照明，目前只針對部分政府新大樓管理，致使節能效率有限。
