TAIPEI 101 invested in significant energy efficiency retrofit projects to generate energy and water savings. A review of public lighting was undertaken and resulted in the conversion to more energy efficient luminaires and lighting controls. By utilizing Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS), building managers are able to adjust operating temperatures, modify chiller plant operating schedules and modify chilled water distribution according to actual tenant needs. With these it helped to rank TAIPEI 101 in the top 30% of high-rise office buildings as benchmarked by the U.S. ENERGY STAR database, to reduce energy consumption by 33.41 million kWh per year and to save more than US$2 million per year.
