A. How to meet the green building standards stipulated by the government when planning and designing green building?

Answer: Our green building conforms to the green building standards set by the government: 1. Greening capacity: We only use 42% of the land to build the building, leaving enough open space for trees to be planted. We also green the open space on the top floor to build a Sky Garden. 2. Water Conservation at the Base: We allow the rain water to penetrate directly into the soil, provide the water necessary for plant growth, and also use artificial sites to trap rainwater that passes through the garden soil. 3. Daily energy saving: We use nano-insulating glass to make the exterior glass, which has a thermal insulation rate of up to 59% and uses energy-saving light bulbs to illuminate and save energy. The building also uses sanitary fittings with water-saving signs to save water resources. 4. Carbon dioxide reduction: We pay special attention to the design layout Founder, the structure of the system simple and lightweight, effective control of the structure to reduce the amount of concrete used in the interior light compartment, reducing the weight of the building, reducing the load on the structure so that Carbon dioxide reduction. 5. Indoor Environment: We emphasize the indoor lighting and ventilation convection well and minimize the interior decoration, do not make another ceiling, no paint, use more green building materials. 6. Water Resources: We have a rainwater harvesting system that reclaims rainwater from rooftops gardens and use the water to water garden plants. 7. Sewage and Garbage Improvement: Garbage collection rooms and kitchen waste disposal machines are set up on the basement and garbage collection and recycling are carried out.


B. Will green building materials be harder to obtain?

Answer: Many of our green building materials are imported or even ordered. For example, we use "energy-saving ceramic tiles" for our façades, which are shipped from Spain to Taiwan, so the cost will be relatively high. There are nano-insulating glass for exterior walls, which can have 3 to 5 degrees difference between indoor and outdoor tempature, so you can reduce the chance of open air-conditioning. The relative cost will be higher, because this is not something that can be obtained everywhere in the discount.


C. When launching green building, the cost will be relatively high and housing prices will be higher, will it affect consumers' willingness to buy a home?

Answer: Of coruse! To achieve the green building standards, the use of building materials and equipment must be higher than the traditional architecture, the cost is relatively high, the construction, of course, will be reflected in the price. However, we will let consumers know the benefits of green building in detail. Although the prices are high, a sustainable green houses that save energy, save water and protect the environment are priceless.


D. Now that the new construction project starts to import the more advanced "Wisdom Green Building" to further enhance the green building efficiency, how can your company make the building more intelligent and environment-friendly?

Answer: Based on green building, the introduction of intelligent high-tech technology, materials and products makes the building safer and healthier, more convenient and more comfortable, energy-saving and carbon-saving. Therefore, through the application of intelligent technology, integrated control access control, light control, driveway. From monitoring, perception, judgment to notice, let the building more intelligent to achieve the effect of environmental protection and energy saving. For example, we have energy-saving induction lamps in both indoor and underground parking. With automatic detection, we can save a lot of electricity.


E. Compared with the construction of green buildings in the past, what different innovative designs dose Skytrees have?

Answer: This second-generation house is different from previous construction plans. It combines the concept of digital wisdom and green technology with the concept of green energy and presents the concept of symbiotic architecture with new technology and new construction methods. Emphasis is put on attaching importance to a comfortable green living environment. In the appearance is also different from the past, with the magnificent green branches as the main building, with clouds to set off, showing the city tree and implement the concept of environmental protection.





F. Will the future planning of green buildings have more direction for innovation?

Answer: Sure! Green building is a global trend as well as a direction that must be taken in response to the deterioration of the environment. Therefore, we hold the attitude of caring for the earth and hope to start with Far Eastern. We will continue to make breakthroughs and innovations in building technology so as to give our next generation a beautiful living environment. Basically, as long as there is something new or new technolory, it is bound to be added to the architectural element.
