祐生長年來探究人類居住環境與永續發展等相關議題不遺餘力，故本次應台灣建築學會鄭政利會長之邀請，參與由內政部建築研究所於2018年10月14日至17日假國立台灣科技大學舉辦之「2018環亞熱帶創新低碳綠建築國際研討會」，並由本會協助成立之社團法人台灣永續建築環境促進會擔任協辦單位，希望藉由這個會議具體呈現出台灣綠建築之執行成效。
For years, the ARF has been committed to studying issues relating to the human living environment and sustainable development. Thus, invited by Professor Cheng Cheng-li, president of the Architectural Institute of Taiwan, the ARF has participated in the 2018 Conference on Innovative Low-Carbon and Green Buildings in Subtropical Area (ILCGBS) held at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology from October 14 to 17, 2018. The conference, which was organized by the Architecture and Building Research Institute (ABRI), Ministry of the Interior, was co-organized by the Taiwan Society of Sustainable Built Environment (TSSBE), an organization co-founded by the ARF. It is hoped that the conference could concretely reflect the result of implementing green buildings in Taiwan.
本次會議邀請了來自美國、加拿大、英國、德國、新加坡、日本等地，6位國際知名學者來台發表專題演講，並針對「低碳及永續綠建築」、「永續性評估和先進技術」、「低碳和綠建築的實踐」、「碳中和及永續發展實踐」、「氣候變遷與調適策略」等重要議題提出前瞻性的策略。另外，為了分享我國綠建築的發展經驗，內政部建築研究所王榮進所長亦發表「台灣綠建築推廣：當前發展與未來展望」專題演講，積極向國際展現台灣綠建築推動成果。
A total of six renown academicians from the USA, Canada, Britain, Germany, Singapore and Japan respectively were invited to give keynote speeches, and propose foresighted strategies on issues such as “low carbon and sustainable green building”, “sustainability assessment and advanced technology”, “low carbon and green building implementation”, “carbon neutral and sustainable practices” and “climate change and adaptation”.Furthermore, in order to share Taiwan's experience in green building development, ABRI director-general Wang Rong-jing delivered the speech on “The Promotion of Green Buildings in Taiwan: Current Development and Future Outlook”, actively demonstrating the result of Taiwan's efforts in promoting green buildings.
為了深入分享台灣推動綠建築經驗，本次會議也特別規劃兩個場次，分別介紹台灣企業如何實踐綠建築，以及台灣優良的綠建築案例；其中前者介紹國際大廠如何將綠建築應用於廠房的實例，以展現台灣產業界對於綠廠房的重視與實踐；而後者則邀請國內具代表性的綠建築案例設計者，分享其設計理念與規劃巧思，而黃晉英秘書長與台灣永續建築環境促進會蘇慶華理事長更特別應邀出席2018年10月15日所舉辦的開幕典禮，與許久不見的國際貴賓iiSBE執行長Nils Larsson、Thomas Lutzkendorf教授及CIB執行長Wim Bakens等人交流寒暄，希望在台灣各界專業人士的努力之下，讓台灣綠建築的研究成果能在國際上發光發熱。
To allow for deeper sharing of Taiwan's experience in promoting green buildings, two separate sessions were scheduled at the conference to introduce the implementation of green buildings by Taiwan businesses and case studies of outstanding green buildings in Taiwan respectively. The former introduced how international manufacturers adopt green building practices for their manufacturing plants, demonstrating Taiwan industries' recognition and implementation of green factories. The latter, on the other hand, invited designers of representative green buildings in Taiwan to share their design concepts and creative ideas. Secretary General Huang Chin-ying and TSSBE president Su Ching-hua were also especially invited to attend the opening ceremony held on October 15, 2018, and met up with international guests iiSBE CEO Nils Larsson, Professor Thomas Lutzkendorf and CIB CEO Wim Bakens, whom they had not seen for a while. It is hoped that, with the dedicated efforts of professionals across different industries, Taiwan's research results on green buildings will be recognized worldwide.
