Mitigating global warming has become a critical issue in recent years. In line with global efforts to protect the Earth's environment, the government has placed increasing emphasis on the reduction of carbon emissions and promotion of green construction so as to pursue coexistence between construction and the environment. In addition, the “Statute for Renewable Energy Development”that was approved by the Legislative Yuan on June 12, 2009 specifies that public works qualified to utilize green technology will receive priority for the installation of power generators that run renewable energy, with the hope that large-scale public construction will become a symbol of the government's efforts to promote its energy-saving and low-carbon emissions policy. Committed to the trend of carbon reduction, the Taipei MRT Circular line will be designed to adopt the latest renewable energy technology. A new Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) system will be used on the roofs of Banqiao Station (Y15) and Wugu Industrial Park Station (Y19), and wind turbines will be installed on the bridge across the Dahan River. Every effort will be made to demonstrate government authorities' commitment to sustainable development in public construction and an environmentally friendly and energy-saving MRT.
