The
German Trade Office Taipei has organized a delegation trip of four renowned German
companies active in the field of energy efficient materials for buildings to
Taiwan from November 19 to 23, 2018 as part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative by the German Federal
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi).
The
delegation visit began with the “German-Taiwanese Green Building Conference”
today, hosted by the German Trade Office at the Sherwood Taipei, during which
these four German companies exclusively showcased their solutions and
products regarding energy efficient materials in buildings. Visitors were
informed about the latest German energy conservation technologies and had the
opportunity to discuss with them about possible future cooperation.
In his
opening speech, Chief
Representative and Executive Director of the German Trade Office, Axel
Limberg, stated: “We see that around 27% of Taiwan’s total carbon emissions
were caused in the buildings sector in 2013 and the primary energy
consumption in households used for air conditioning systems alone accounts
for a total of around 31%. Taiwan thus has a great potential in implementing
cost-effective energy conservation measures which could not only play an
important part in contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,
but also in the reduction of operational costs of businesses.”
