decided to take the green building badge. Dr. H. T. Lin, professor of architecture at
National Cheng Kung University, who has collaborated with ABRI in the study of
green building subject for many years, became the chief consultant of this new
project. Although it is the 100th green building in Taiwan, nevertheless, it is the
first industrial architecture that passed all the nine green building indicators and
certified as the gold-rated EEWH (Fig. 5 ). The Delta example of realizing enter-
prise's social responsibility and its success in obtaining green building badge has
encouraged other tenants and even the STSPA such as the IC industrial giant
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Indeed, the TSMC
14Fab P3 is certified by LEED as the gold-rated factory and by EEWH as a
diamond-rated factory not long after (Fig. 5 ). In the public sector, energy saving
photovoltaic devices have been installed (Fig. 6 ), for example, at Park 17, STSP
Commercial centre and the Administration Building which is itself a certified
EEWH building. According to STSPA statistics, there were 26 private EEWH
green buildings and 25 public EEWH buildings in the park in 2009. Perhaps, TSP
might have the highest green building density in Taiwan.
