一、學校政策承諾與政府合作
Institutional Commitment and Government Collaboration
國立暨南國際大學（National Chi Nan University, NCNU）致力於推動能源效率提升、低碳技術及永續發展，透過應用研究、跨領域專業及地方合作，協助政府與社區推動節能減碳措施。
本校科技學院長期透過大學社會責任（University Social Responsibility, USR）計畫，投入南投縣埔里地區農業能源效率改善工作，針對傳統茭白筍栽培使用的高耗能夜間照明設備，研發及推廣高能源效率LED照明技術。
計畫團隊結合南投縣政府、地方農業產銷班、農友及燈具廠商，將學術研究成果轉化為農業節電技術及實務應用，支持地方政府推動能源效率改善措施。
National Chi Nan University (NCNU) is committed to improving energy efficiency, advancing low-carbon technologies, and promoting sustainable development through applied research, interdisciplinary expertise, and local collaboration.
Through its University Social Responsibility (USR) programme, NCNU's College of Science and Technology has undertaken long-term efforts to improve agricultural energy efficiency in Puli Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.
The university's research team has developed and promoted energy-efficient LED lighting to replace conventional, energy-intensive nighttime lighting used in water bamboo cultivation.
By collaborating with Nantou County Government, local agricultural production groups, farmers, and lighting manufacturers, NCNU has translated academic research into practical agricultural electricity-saving applications that support local government energy-efficiency initiatives.
二、支持政府農業節電措施的技術實證與合作
Technical Evidence and Collaboration Supporting Government Agricultural Energy-Saving Initiatives
埔里地區的茭白筍栽培長期使用高壓鈉燈進行夜間補光，增加農業生產的電力消耗與用電成本。
為改善此問題，暨大科技學院USR團隊自2018年起進行LED照明技術研發與田間試驗，透過照明效能、耗電量及作物生長等數據蒐集，驗證LED燈具取代傳統照明設備的可行性。
經過實地驗證及成果推廣，團隊於2022年透過地方民意代表協助，向南投縣政府建設處爭取新臺幣250萬元節電獎勵經費，結合地方產銷班及燈具廠商，推動第一期農業LED節電示範計畫。
2023年，南投縣政府主動洽詢暨大團隊參與第二期獎勵補助計畫。團隊進一步與農業產銷班、燈具廠商及農友協商，採用政府補助80%、農友自付20%的經費分攤模式，並爭取新臺幣210萬元獎勵經費，擴大農業節電技術的應用。
上述合作展現本校透過科學實證、研究成果分享、田間示範及跨部門協調，支持地方政府推動農業節電獎勵措施，並提供技術及執行經驗。
Water bamboo cultivation in Puli has traditionally relied on high-pressure sodium lamps for supplementary nighttime lighting, resulting in substantial electricity consumption and operating costs.
To address this challenge, NCNU's College of Science and Technology USR team began developing and testing LED lighting technology in 2018. The team collected field data on lighting performance, electricity consumption, and crop growth to assess the feasibility of replacing conventional agricultural lighting systems.
Following field verification and dissemination of research findings, the team worked with local representatives and secured NT$2.5 million in electricity-saving incentives through Nantou County Government's Department of Economic Development in 2022. In collaboration with agricultural production groups and lighting suppliers, the university supported the first phase of agricultural LED lighting demonstrations.
In 2023, Nantou County Government approached NCNU regarding the second phase of the incentive programme. The university team coordinated with agricultural groups, suppliers, and farmers to establish a cost-sharing arrangement under which the government covered 80% of eligible costs and farmers contributed 20%. The second phase received NT$2.1 million in incentives, supporting wider adoption of energy-efficient agricultural lighting.
Through scientific evidence, research dissemination, field demonstrations, and stakeholder coordination, NCNU provided technical and practical implementation support for local government agricultural electricity-saving initiatives.
三、農業LED節電示範及減碳成果
Agricultural LED Demonstration and Carbon Reduction Outcomes
透過兩期農業LED節電示範計畫，暨大與地方政府、農業產銷班及參與農友共同建立節能技術推廣模式，並取得具體成果：
-
建置農業LED節電示範區總面積 21.6公頃。
-
共有 51位農友參與LED燈具汰換及持續使用。
-
估計每年節省用電約 327,000度（kWh）。
-
估計每年減少溫室氣體排放約 165.8公噸CO₂e。
-
2021年至2024年報告累計節電約 1,308,000度（kWh）。
-
同期間報告累計減少溫室氣體排放約 663.2公噸CO₂e。
上述量化成果顯示，農業LED節能技術能有效降低農業生產的電力消耗與溫室氣體排放，並為地方政府推動節電措施提供田間實證及應用經驗。
Through two phases of agricultural LED lighting demonstrations, NCNU collaborated with local government, agricultural production groups, and participating farmers to establish a practical model for energy-efficient technology adoption.
The project reported the following outcomes:
-
A total of 21.6 hectares of agricultural LED demonstration areas.
-
51 participating farmers adopting and continuing to use LED lighting.
-
Estimated annual electricity savings of approximately 327,000 kWh.
-
Estimated annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions of approximately 165.8 tonnes of CO₂e.
-
Reported cumulative electricity savings of approximately 1,308,000 kWh from 2021 to 2024.
-
Reported cumulative emissions reductions of approximately 663.2 tonnes of CO₂e over the same period.
These results demonstrate the potential of agricultural LED technology to reduce electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while providing field-based evidence and implementation experience for local government energy-saving initiatives.
四、2025年持續推動節能技術與應用擴散
Continued Energy-Efficiency Implementation and Technology Development in 2025
2025年，暨大科技學院持續執行教育部大學社會責任實踐計畫「綠色水沙連永續環境與人才培育深拓計畫：科技農業×循環經濟×淨零排放」，延續農業LED節能技術的研究、應用及地方推廣。
既有茭白筍LED節電示範區持續運作，參與農友持續使用高能源效率照明設備。
在技術研發方面，合作燈具廠商持續精進農業LED照明設備，其中天川廠商已改良至第三代照明設備，玉晶廠商則開發150瓦LED燈具，展現節能技術持續發展的成果。
此外，團隊於2025年田間踏查發現，部分埔里地區農友已自行購買並更換LED照明設備，顯示節能觀念逐漸深化，農業節電技術已由政府獎勵示範逐步擴散至農友自主採用。
本校亦將LED補光技術研究延伸至火龍果栽培，進行初步燈具安裝及光照效能量測，探索節能照明技術在其他農作物的應用可能性。
上述2025年成果顯示，本校持續透過研究、技術改良及地方合作，支持農業能源效率改善措施的長期推動與應用擴散。
In 2025, NCNU continued its agricultural energy-efficiency activities through the Ministry of Education-supported USR project, Green Shuili-Sha-Lian: Sustainable Environment and Talent Development through Smart Agriculture, Circular Economy, and Net-Zero Emissions.
The existing water bamboo LED demonstration areas remained operational, with participating farmers continuing to use energy-efficient lighting systems.
Technology providers also continued improving agricultural LED lighting equipment. Tianchuan developed third-generation lighting equipment, while Yujing introduced a 150-watt LED lighting product.
During field observations in 2025, the university team also identified local farmers who had independently purchased and installed LED lighting equipment, indicating that energy-saving practices were spreading beyond the original government incentive programme.
NCNU further extended its LED lighting research to dragon fruit cultivation, conducting preliminary installations and lighting-performance measurements to explore additional agricultural applications.
These activities demonstrate the continued development, application, and local diffusion of energy-efficient agricultural technologies in 2025, supported by university research and community collaboration.
