Taiwan Delta Electronics announced the opening of its Taoyuan Plant 3 and R&D Center.
The new plant employs Delta's own energy saving and industrial automation products and control systems.
Eco-friendly features of the plant include solar panels, LED lighting, water resource processing and renewable energy equipment that not only trims the annual power bill by NTD 5 million, but also reduces 1,000 tons of CO 2 emissions and uses about 75% less water (around 3,000 tons).
The planning and design of the Taoyuan Plant 3 and R&D Center was initiated in 2009. By adopting American LEED standards, the plant is expected to receive LEED Gold-rated certification in 2012 and will also earn EEWH Gold-rated certification by Taiwan's Ministry of the Interior.
