Taipei Metro Tower Office Building is Certified with LEED Gold Label

As global focus intensifies on sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, buildings are no longer just structures that shape city skylines—they also bear crucial responsibilities in energy conservation, carbon reduction, resource recycling, and promoting occupant health. In line with these values, the Far Eastern Group (FEG) has remained deeply committed to advancing green operations. A testament to this commitment is the recent achievement by the Taipei Metro Tower Office Building, which has officially received the LEED Gold Certification for Existing Buildings in the Operation and Maintenance category (LEED O+M: EB Gold). This prestigious certification highlights the building's environmental friendliness, efficient resource management, and the Group’s dedication to sustainable, responsible management practices—once again underscoring FEG’s role as a leader in promoting a greener future.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a globally recognized green building rating system developed and promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Renowned for its credibility and rigor, LEED certification serves as a benchmark for assessing the environmental performance and sustainability of buildings.

The LEED O+M: EB (Operations and Maintenance – Existing Buildings) certification received by the Taipei Metro Tower Office Building emphasizes the real-world sustainability performance of buildings during daily operations. Key assessment areas for this certification include:

• Energy efficiency
• Water use
• Indoor air quality
• Cleaning and procurement policies
• Health and well-being of building occupants

This certification not only affirms the building's alignment with global sustainability standards but also reflects the Far Eastern Group's dedication to environmental stewardship and occupant welfare in its operations.

Taipei Metro Tower Office Building’s achievement of the LEED O+M: EB Gold Certification is the culmination of a long-term, dedicated effort by the project team. Through strategic planning and systematic improvements, the team implemented a series of optimization measures over the past year, including:

• Energy Efficiency Improvement: Install high-efficiency air-conditioning ice storage systems and LED lighting, and comprehensively optimize power, elevator and energy management systems
• Water Resource Management: Introduce water-saving facilities and cooling tower water quality management to promote the sustainable use of water resources.
• Green Cleaning and Purchasing: Use low-volatile organic compound (Low-VOC) cleaning supplies and environmentally friendly label consumables to create a healthy indoor environment. 
• User Participation: Organize sustainable education and promotion activities to enhance users' environmental awareness and encourage them to participate in energy-saving actions.

The Taipei Metro Tower Office Building has demonstrated exceptional performance in both energy efficiency and sustainability. Not only did it fully meet all LEED criteria, it also received high recognition for its implementation of best practices in building operations and environmental stewardship.
This LEED Gold Certification is more than just a testament to the building’s design and management excellence—it is a tangible reflection of the Far Eastern Group’s commitment to ESG principles.
