Taiwan relies mostly on imports for its energy sources. While global economy is constantly evolving, the consumption of petroleum will only be increased and will not be reduced, so the emission of carbon dioxide for most developing nations is also constantly growing. Because of this, the environmental protection advocates of the United Nations produced the legal-binding Kyoto Protocol. Kyoto Protocol became effective on February 16, 2005, Greenwich Mean Time, completely limiting the emission of carbon dioxide in various countries. The emission of carbon dioxide in Taiwan is also limited by the Kyoto Protocol. The carbon dioxide emission from the building industry accounts for about 30% of total emission in Taiwan, so how to design energy-conserving buildings is the question that Taiwan should pay attention to immediately. This study mainly focuses on the main factors of the power systems in green buildings, as well as the methods to control and design the power systems. Designing green buildings is one of the major trends to conserve energy in the future. There are many methods to conserve daily energy in buildings, and one of the main methods is to control and design energy conservation of the power system. This study discusses various ways to conserve daily energy for buildings. Because the usage of electronics is particularly high in Taiwan, this study aims to propose effective methods that offer automated ways to conserve energy, without affecting our daily lives. For any building, lighting and air conditioning account for most of the energy consumption; therefore, this study proposes automated ways to design and control these two parts by utilizing solar power. However, nothing can be perfect in every aspect. As the numbers of energy-conserving products goes up, the quality of electricity will be greatly impacted. Problems and concerns will emerge in the future. At the end of the study, the researcher offers discussion about how to conserve energy while keeping the quality in line, for the purpose of future evaluation and reference.
