NTUST’s Fresh-water Ecosystems (Community Outreach)
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST, Taiwan Tech) supports education and community outreach on water-resource management and the conservation of fresh-water and aquatic ecosystems through University Social Responsibility (USR) practice, engineering research and development, and local and transnational action. Its flagship is the Ministry of Education USR programme “Engineers in Action” (EIA), which draws on research capacity in architecture, construction engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and industrial management to bring fresh-water and water-resource knowledge to remote Indigenous communities in Taiwan and to communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Nepal and Japan. 1. Off-campus Water Resources, Irrigation and Water-saving SupportNTUST teams work with local communities and partner universities to support off-campus water conservation: repairing leaking ponds and irrigation channels, upgrading drainage, and installing water-saving irrigation and rainwater-harvesting systems, strengthening community capacity to manage and maintain water resources.(1) Gubug Lazaris, Indonesia: repairing leaking ponds and channels, maintaining greenhouse irrigationIn summer 2026, the EIA team worked with Widya Mandala Catholic University (UKWMS) in the Gubug Lazaris community, repairing leaks in ponds and channels to reduce water loss and maintaining greenhouse irrigation facilities to meet residents’ farming water needs. In 2025 the team had already restored an idle organic greenhouse in the same community and installed an automatic sprinkler irrigation system with new pipes and wiring, replacing flood irrigation with targeted watering to save water.Related news and website links:▸ [2026-09-24] Central News Agency (CNA) | NTUST Engineers in Action head to Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan to meet community needs https://www.cna.com.tw/postwrite/chi/445125▸ [2025-10-08] NTUST Campus News | NTUST Engineers in Action deepen work in Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam https://www.ntust.edu.tw/p/406-1000-140988,r167.php?Lang=zh-tw(2) Kemiri Village (Pacet), Indonesia: rainwater harvesting and aquaponicsFrom June to July 2026, NTUST and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) students spent two weeks in Kemiri Village, Pacet, Mojokerto, East Java. The flagship work was a Rainwater Harvesting System—gutters, pipes, filters and storage tanks providing an alternative water source and promoting water conservation and efficient use. The team also built an aquaponics system in which culture water is recirculated. ITS’s official news linked the project to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).Related news and website links:▸ [2026-07-19] ITS News (Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Indonesia) | ITS dan NTUST Transformasikan Desa Kemiri melalui Engineers in Action 2026 https://www.its.ac.id/news/?p=110370(3) Dong’ao / Dongyue Atayal community, Yilan, Taiwan: channel desilting and drainage improvementEIA has worked with the Dongyue Atayal community in Nan’ao Township, Yilan, since 2020. In 2024 a volunteer team of about 50 cleared sediment from the waterway beside Dong’ao Elementary School, installed new downspouts and rearranged stones to reduce hazards, turning the channel into a safe foot-soaking area, and built an aquaponics system that recycles water. In 2025 about 60 students and teachers from NTUST, Songshan Vocational High School, Osaka Institute of Technology (Japan) and Widya Mandala Catholic University (Indonesia) restored the long-closed Babaw Kulu trail, cleaning drainage ditches and using eco-friendly construction methods that balance trail drainage with protection of the mountain environment.Related news and website links:▸ [2024] NTUST English News | Taiwan Tech mobile engineers bring passion and professionalism to Dong'ao for social welfare https://www.secretariat.ntust.edu.tw/p/16-1063-128503.php?Lang=en▸ [2025-06-30] NTUST Campus News | Taiwan Tech engineers team up with Japan and Indonesia to empower rural Dong'ao (Chinese) https://www.ntust.edu.tw/p/406-1000-138039,r167.php?Lang=zh-tw▸ [2025-06-30] NTUST English News | Taiwan Tech engineers team up with Japan and Indonesia to empower rural Taitung https://www.ntust.edu.tw/p/406-1000-138260,r1182.php?Lang=en2. Ecological Pond and Water-quantity Management ResearchNTUST’s architecture and construction researchers have long studied site water retention and the water budget of ecological ponds. A graduate thesis applied the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) inventory model to simulate the replenishment and storage of ecological ponds and analyse water savings, providing a reference for local hydrology and water allocation. This line of work now extends to water-quality monitoring and water-purification technology.(1) Simulating ecological-pond water management with the EOQ modelThe master’s thesis by Tsai (蔡政融, 2007), NTUST Graduate Institute of Architecture, treats the water held in an ecological pond as an “inventory” and borrows the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) concept from inventory management to simulate the pond’s replenishment mechanism, examining how much water to add and when, as a reference for reducing external top-up water and improving water savings. The study is cited by later work such as National Chung Hsing University’s “A Study on the Management Model of Ecological Ponds”, and serves as a methodological reference for water-quantity control and water-saving analysis of building-site and campus ponds.Related news and website links:▸ [2007] Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (NCHU) – reference list | Tsai, C.-J.

NTUST's Low-carbon Energy Tracking
1.OverviewNational Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) uses its Smart Energy Management System to track both where campus energy comes from and how much is used. The system records, in real time, the electricity generated by on-campus green (renewable) energy installations. It also records grid electricity purchased through the university’s two utility accounts (main campus 00-84-9650-11-0 and Research Building campus 00-84-9654-11-4) and consumed by each building. With both low-carbon generation and total consumption in one place, the university has the data it needs to calculate its share of low-carbon energy and the carbon emissions from electricity use.On the home page, the “Green Power Information” panel shows green-power generation for the current day and month; on 7 November 2026, for example, it showed 979 kWh for the day and 8,420 kWh month-to-date. In the Analysis module, “Annual Electricity Statistics” charts each account’s year-by-year consumption. Main-campus consumption fell from about 22.42 GWh in ROC year 105 (2016) to about 19.84 GWh in 108 (2019), and was about 21.24 GWh in 112 (2023). These charts let the university review the long-term effect of its energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures.2.How Low-carbon Energy Is TrackedReal-time renewable generation: Daily and monthly green-power generation updates continuously, so the contribution of self-generated low-carbon electricity is always visible.Grid consumption and emissions accounting: Consumption for each account and building can be exported by day, month and year. Combined with the grid emission factor, it gives electricity-related emissions and the share of total use met by green power.Long-term trend review: The “Annual Electricity”, “Yearly Electricity” and “Taipower vs. System” comparison functions show year-on-year changes in consumption and demand, so progress toward carbon-reduction targets can be checked.Analysing efficiency measures: Further analyses (optimal contract capacity, power factor, elevator regenerative energy, chiller COP, and the benefits of circulation fans and shading devices) track how much each low-carbon and energy-saving measure actually delivers.3.System LinkNTUST Smart Energy Management System: http://140.118.104.124/manage/pc/content/index.aspxFigure 1.

It brings electricity, water, classroom control, chiller, VRV air-conditioning and street-lighting modules together on one web platform that continuously monitors energy use across the university. Main meters are installed on both utility accounts (main campus 00-84-9650-11-0, contract capacity 5,000 kW; Research Building campus 00-84-9654-11-4, contract capacity 900 kW). Sub-meters in the major buildings, including the Administration Building, Library, college and teaching buildings, student dormitories and International House, record electricity consumption (kWh) and demand (kW) in real time.The system provides a campus electricity map (“Electricity Overview”), hourly and daily data by building (“Building Electricity”), “Meter Query”, “Electricity Bill” and “Statistical Report” functions. With these, facility managers can compare consumption by building, time period and date, identify energy waste systematically and take corrective action.2.How Energy Wastage Is IdentifiedBuilding-level metering to find high consumers: Each building’s daily and month-to-date consumption is shown on the campus map, so managers can compare buildings at a glance and spot those with unusually high or rising use.Demand monitoring to avoid exceeding contract capacity: Real-time and monthly peak demand for each account is displayed against the contract capacity. This helps staff schedule air-conditioning and large equipment, avoiding peak overruns and unnecessary charges.Time-based comparison to reveal base-load and standby waste: Daily building data lets managers compare weekday and weekend use. For example, from 1 to 7 November 2026 the main campus station used about 32,600–34,800 kWh on each weekday but about 20,200 kWh on Saturday 7 November. If consumption at night or on holidays does not fall with occupancy, equipment has been left on or is drawing standby power, and that building is prioritised for improvement.Control and continuous improvement: The classroom control, chiller, VRV and street-lighting modules let staff schedule, remotely switch off or optimise the equipment behind the waste they find. Statistical reports then track how much each improvement saves.3.System LinkNTUST Smart Energy Management System: http://140.118.104.124/manage/pc/content/index.aspxFigure 1.

NTUST Measuring Total Water Volume from Mains Supply
1.OverviewNational Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) operates a campus-wide Smart Energy Management System that integrates electricity, water, chiller, VRV and street-lighting data into a single web platform to support energy- and water-saving management. For water, digital meters are installed at every point where the municipal mains supply enters the campus, and sub-meters are installed in the major buildings. Together, they measure in real time and continuously the total volume of water the university takes from the mains supply.On the system home page, the “Campus Water Information” panel shows the university’s cumulative water use for the current day and month. The “Water Information” page presents a piping diagram of the three mains intake points (Main Inlet 1, Main Inlet 2 and the Research Building inlet) and the building sub-meters (Administration Building, Library, teaching buildings, dining halls, student dormitories, swimming pool, etc.). Each meter shows its cumulative daily and monthly consumption in cubic metres (m³). “Data Query” and “Statistical Report” functions let users retrieve historical water data by day, month and year.2.Monitoring and ManagementTotal mains-supply metering: Digital meters at the main water inlets (Main Inlet 1, Main Inlet 2 and the Research Building inlet) measure the total volume of water the university draws from the municipal mains supply.Building-level sub-metering: Sub-meters in major buildings show how water use is distributed across campus and point to high-consumption areas.Real-time monitoring and leak detection: Daily and monthly totals update continuously, so facility staff can spot leaks or abnormal use early and respond quickly.Reporting and continuous improvement: Historical queries and statistical reports track consumption trends, measure how well water-saving actions work, and support annual water-use targets.3.System LinkNTUST Smart Energy Management System: http://140.118.104.124/manage/pc/content/index.aspx
