Tainan, Taiwan, January 7th, 2011

About to acquire the highest green building certificates from Taiwan's
Ecology, Energy Saving, Waste Reduction and Health (EEWH) rating system and
the U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system,
the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center (Magic School of Green
Technology), the first energy-saving and zero-carbon building in Taiwan,
will be inaugurated on January 12th, 2011, in Li-Hsing Campus, National
Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan.

Consisting of three levels above ground one level underground and occupying
a total floor area of 4,800m², the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center
will serve as NCKU’s international conference center and exhibit
technologies achieved through green building research, utilizing the most
economical and efficient green building technologies such as energy-
conservation, renewable energy, waste reduction, water recycling and nano
photo-catalysts.

“Even though National Cheng Kung University has many innovative teaching
research buildings, the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center, donated
mostly by Chairman Bruce Cheng of Delta Electronics, has a unique
significance. Representing an innovative architectural method, concept and
transformation, it does not only symbolize the enterprises’ concerns for
the global ecology and their contributions to human well-being, it also
signifies the beginning of NCKU marching towards a green era,” said
President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai of National Cheng Kung University in his
opening address.

Acting in concert with the inauguration of the Y. S. Sun Green Building
Research Center, the entire faculty and study body at NCKU have been
comprehensively promoting activities with eco-friendly themes to truly
implement green life, thus living up to the expectations of Chairman Bruce
Cheng.

National Cheng Kung University has many fruitful achievements in alternative
energy research; according to the academic ranking of the internationally
renowned publisher company Elsevier, NCKU ranks 19th globally in the
research papers of Alternative Energy and is the only Taiwanese institution
among the global top 25 list, achieving numerous green energy technology
achievements and setting a new milestone for NCKU’s green energy research.

Delta Electronics’ Founder and Chairman, Bruce Cheng, expressed, “The
spirit of Mr. Yun-Suan Sun in devoting and sacrificing his entire life to
the nation is an excellent model for the future generation, and thus the
green building is named after him. In the hope of honoring his spirit, Delta
Electronics and National Cheng Kung University have taken practical action
to construct an energy-saving and zero-carbon building to mitigate global
warming.”

Chairman Bruce Cheng also revealed his sincere gratitude toward NCKU
President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai, “Four years ago, when President Lai
assumed the position of the President of National Cheng Kung University, he
fully supported the construction of the green building, having especially
reserved a forest land in the University for the building to reach zero-
carbon.”

Chairman Bruce Cheng emphasized, “The Y. S. Sun Green Building Research
Center, which employs the LED energy-saving light bulbs and solar panels
produced by Delta Electronics and other related enterprises, will not only
become the embodiment of Delta Electronics’ mission to provide innovative,
clean and efficient energy solutions for a better tomorrow, it will also
become Taiwan’s most energy-efficient teaching building.”

The Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center, rewriting the history of world
architecture research, has mobilized 4 top university professors who led 12
master and doctoral students to participate in an experiment of the
construction of a never-seen-before green building.

According to the precise analysis done by Department of Architecture at
National Cheng Kung University, it is expected that the building’s annual
Energy Usage Intensity (EUI) to be 43kWh/(m².yr), much lower than the 125kWh/
( m².yr) of regular office buildings, and its energy-saving ratio to be 65%.

Generally, the Energy Usage Intensity of office buildings in Taiwan ranges
from 241kWh (m².yr) on high floor and 169kWh/(m².yr) on the low floor, and
even small business offices which have no elevators have an EUI of
97kWh/m².yr).

Internationally, the EUI of office buildings in England, United States, Hong
Kong, Singapore and China are approximately 404kWh/(m².a), 390kWh/(m².a),
304kWh/(m².a), 217kWh/(m².a) and 111.2kWh/(m².a), respectively.

The cost of the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center, which is NT$87,000
per 36 square feet, adopts 13 different green building design methods,
including 5 natural ventilation energy-saving methods, 2 equipment reduction
methods, and 5 equipment energy-saving technologies and renewable energy
technologies.

Among the 13 methods, the most exciting one is the natural buoyancy
ventilation technology, allowing an international conference hall which can
fit 300 people to stay cool in summer and warm in winter without turning on
the air conditioning.

The air conditioning system of modern buildings can easily cause
condensation, mildew, accumulated dust and bacteria as well as pneumonia,
but the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center have completely overcome
the disadvantage, guaranteeing the healthiest air quality by using the
antibacterial and environmental-friendly steel donated by an enterprise.

For instance, the toilets in Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center have
adopted the UB-FINE water reduction system of zero power and hand-free
access, one of the most unique and environmental-friendly designs, and it
can prevent bacteria from spreading and cross infecting.

The two hundred tons of serpentine jade cement, being used as the stone
material for the international conference halls, have high degree of
alkaline, magnetic field and hydroxyl radicals and can release large amount
of far-infrared which can purify air and activate cells, benefiting human
health.

The Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center, aka Magic School of Green
Technology, got its inspiration from Noah’s Ark, echoing the renowned
masterpiece, “Hot, Flat, and Crowded,” by American journalist Thomas
Friedman, which states that the world needs a million Noahs and a million
Arks to save living beings and protect biodiversity.

The exterior look of the green building is like a spaceship in Star Wars,
having a leaf-like solar panel on the roof of the spaceship, ventilation
towers that look marine command module with chimney, as well as railings,
handrails and balconies.

The roof of the spaceship looks like Napoleon cap, forming a deep sunshade
which can block most of the direct solar radiation from entering indoor,
thus reducing the power consumption of air conditioning, and it has been
made into a roof garden with Crassulaceae drought-tolerant plants, vividly
showing a strong contrast between natural ecology and modern technology.

The inauguration ceremony of the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center
will be held on January 12th, 2011, in the Conference Hall on the second
floor of the green building, where Founder Gunter Pauli of Zero Emissions
Research Initiative, President Akihisa Iida from OM Solar, Japan, Director
An-Gang Hu of Center for China Study at Tsinghua University, Beijing, as
well as national green architecture scholars and architects will attend the
ceremony.
