Arrange for a period of four weekends were a total of eight working days to clarify the operation circuit, each circuit by this operation found no consistent electricity or inappropriate when the situation and provide electricity line diagram EPA amended, modified to correct the error loop circuit and Information room air conditioning and with the addition of a second portion of the original air-conditioning system and so start mining the timing interactive proposal. The project management according to EPA clean home clean area Section provides a list of 16 teams, exploration projects with high energy consumption lamps mainly based in the future if the district team full of high-energy lamps to LED lamps replace, Gaigu a savings of 86,335 KWh, can save electricity costs of 328,074 NT dollars , 45.07 tonnes of carbon emission reduction. According to financial considerations only for Rende area Madou and energy-saving lamps replace cleaning teams, approximately 1.11 tonnes of carbon dioxide can be reduced by 2 district team work lighting equipment replace carbon emissions per year,saving electricity bill of around 8,090 NT dollars per year. (3) Plan for campus energy efficiency enhancement In response to the energy-saving trend of campus, the plan assisted 2 schools in installing 4 sets of energy monitoring equipment, and 6 schools with improving 1,007 sets of circuit, and 4 schools of energy conservation education Environmental Improvement, and Solar modules complete relief workshops and health promotion of energy-saving green living space education curriculum. These measure can effectively help school to understand the current status of its energy consumption and improve the efficiency of energy utilization to reach the goal of campus energy-saving , It will reduce 228,508 NT dollars/year power spending, and reduce 27.58 tonnes CO2e/year emissions. (4) Counseling Plan for Low-Carbon and Environmental Religions The project assisted 2 temples to replace the traditional high energy consumption lighting equipment by LEDs or other high energy efficiency lights, each counselling case could get 500,000 NT dollars financial subsidy at most. The counseling object in this year are Luermen Matsu Temple and Fuan Temple. The Luermen Matsu Temple replaced 17,819 high energy efficiency lamps, cost 1,590,000 NTdollars. It will save 281,454 kWh/year, reduce 985,089 NT dollars/year power spending, and reduce 259,171 kgCO2e/year emissions. The Fuan Temple replaced 6,256 high energy efficiency lamps, cost 1,410,000 NT dollars, and it could help Fuan Temple save 92,306 kWh/year, 323,072 NT dollars, and diminish 98,625 kgCO2e/year emission. (5) Plan for Low-Carbon Demonstration Night Market Counseling EDB market at the original target for improving matchmaking Heshun market, which on June 12 will be cis market transition from morning to evening market, but the market place and vendors inside philosophy irregularities and other issues, so in July not included in this year's resolution to improve the object, after Simon proposed to improve the Asakusa youth Xintiandi list agreed to by the Secretary-General instruction 104 years of low carbon environmental health district, after saving counseling group now collate, classify mall energy use divided three categories, including lighting, water and shade and propose improvement plan, estimated a year carbon reduction 10,093.95 kgCO2e / years, saving 19,326 kWh, the festival costs about 78,000 NT dollors, on September 26, "104 years of good market, music excellent live name stalls, good second-hand or creative market, green market "assessment, the part of a social responsibility role to get extra points, the Ministry of Economy on October 27 office official announcement Tainan Simon Asakusa get four stars and other youth Xintiandi Used or creative market and excellent market and other awards. 4.
