In order to achieve the goal of establishment low-carbon homesteads, everyone in the county is encouraged to actively participate in carbon reduction and energy conservation and make it a part of his/her life. The branches of the government and public schools have led the way by taking the initiative to help spread the concept from person to person, community to community. This project has completed energy efficiency examinations of 20 government branches and schools in total. It is estimated that upon the completion of the energy efficiency upgrades, 1,869,503kW of electricity, ＄11,150,000NT and 1,331 tones of CO2e can be saved each year. The project has also assisted two demo institutions upgrade to high efficiency lighting fixtures that will in turn help reduce electricity consumption by 2,373.12kW, electricity expenditure by ＄6,407NT and CO2e emission by 1.452 tones per year. Ten other community energy efficiency examinations were conducted that all of the energy saving upgrades upon completion should help save 845,957kW in electricity consumption, $3,090,000NT in electricity expenditure and 527 tones in CO2e emission annually. In establishing the 2010 green house gas emission inventory, the statistics log in rate was 85%; the amount of 2010 green house CO2e emission was approximately 69,241 tones; the direct green house gas emission was 24.19% of total emission; indirect green house gas emission was 75.81% of total emission. The planned installation of a 10kW solar power generation system atop the Guangyin Township Council building and a 1kW wind power generation system on the east side of the parking lot of the New Guangyin Township Administration Park is estimated to produce 11,200kW of electricity and reduce CO2e emission by 6.854 tones per year.
