This project started on June 12, 2014 and ended on June 11, 2015. The objectives were grouped into three main categories: Air Quality Purification Areas (AQPA) Inspection and Administrative Guidance; Survey and Improving Guidance of Areas with Few or No Vegetation (AFNV); Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Inspection and Administrative Guidance.
With regard to the AQPA Inspection and Administrative Guidance, the officials concluded the monthly, onsite assessment and audit for 29 locations (total number of inspections performed: 337) with an estimated total carbon sequestration of 941.69 metric tons per year, and advocated for the public to adopt fifteen of these locations with a total area of 10.79 hectares adopted. During the effective period of this project, the officials also facilitated the Civil Affairs Offices of Yangmei District and of Luzhu District to submit applications for two new locations to be declared as AQPA with the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA). Once these applications are approved, the AQPA would expand by 2.6 hectares of vegetated land, and the estimated total carbon sequestration would be increased to 59.8 metric tons per year. In order to increase the quality of people’s living environment, and to emphasize the core values of environmental education, the officials cordially invited the public to attend the “Luzhu Flower Festival – All Flowers Bloom Together”. The aims were to attract locals and visitors to experience firsthand the wonderful display of greenification within the jurisdiction, and its facilities for environmental education. When surrounded by nature, people experienced the concept of low-carbon economy, establishing awareness of environmental protection in the process.
For the Survey and Improving Guidance of AFNV, the officials concluded the assessment of air quality from 12 air quality monitoring stations and 13 empty lots, and employed the method of afforestation, or reforestation to improve the condition of two AFNV with a total area of 2.101 hectares now covered in greenery. This approach had effectively reduced dust particle pollution (TSP reduction: 0.74382 metric tons, PM10 reduction: 0.3719 metric tons) and also achieved a desirable outcome of environmental greenification.
As for the IAQ Inspection and Administrative Guidance, the officials concluded the onsite inspection guidance, , and routine inspection of carbon dioxide level of 210 indoor venues; twelve of which failed the carbon dioxide routine inspection, and were targeted for repeat inspection and follow-up on air quality improvement. Furthermore, another EPA-validated entity was appointed to oversee the IAQ inspection process of the first 30 publicly announced venues, 3 medical facilities, and 3 kindergartens in Taoyuan City, using strictly methods approved by the EPA in an attempt to effectively understand the current IAQ of various indoor venues within its jurisdiction. The officials utilized Randomized Selection and deployed specialists on three different occasions to any of the 3 medical facilities to perform onsite inspection, and administrative guidance in an attempt to effectively improve IAQ of these indoor locations. Concurrently, three IAQ conferences were conducted to elaborate and lecture on relevant laws and regulations, and on topics like the management of IAQ maintenance in order to effectively increase the IAQ of Taoyuan City’s indoor venues.
