| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 工業管理系所 === 101 === The effects of global warming, which include the rise of annual average temperatures and climate anomalies, have raised public awareness of issues concerning environmental protection. In recent years, as environmental awareness sweeps across the architecture industry, the greenhouse codes and standards for public sector buildings have been promoted in Taiwan to encourage civil building improvements that are in compliance. This study investigates the results of the greenhouse index screening conducted by some professionals, and the willingness of the public to agree with those indices and make relevant improvements.
We adopted the questionnaire survey method in our study. We first constructed an expert questionnaire using the modified Delphi method to select greenhouse indices that applied to community-based residential buildings or apartment buildings. Thereafter, we developed another public questionnaire to investigate the degree to which Kaohsiung City citizens agree that greenhouse regulations should be implemented on existing buildings before those regulations become mandatory, so that we can determine the willingness of each index to make such improvements.
From the results based on the expert questionnaires, this study found 40 feasible indices for improvements to community-based residential buildings and 35 for improvements to apartment buildings. The results from the public questionnaires show that people who agree with improvements based on the greenhouse standards to a moderate degree are older, live in an older house, and have an education below the high school level. People over 60 years old, and those who possess an education level below high school, are less willing to make home improvements based on the greenhouse standards that protect the ecology and the environment, or that are energy economizing. People are more willing to make such improvements for effective energy use or the healthy indoor environment. Finally, this study hopes that the research results will provide relevant government agencies with suggestions and references for improvement.
