RCI Sustainability successfully supported Dairen Chemical Corporation’s Green Energy Computing Center in achieving LEED v4.1 ID+C: Commercial Interiors Gold certification. As the first LEED-certified data center project in Taiwan’s petrochemical industry, the achievement demonstrates how high energy–consumption sectors can integrate sustainability with operational performance. The project was also featured in the USGBC’s international newsletter “Project Highlights”, continuing RCI’s strong track record of globally recognized projects.
RCI provided full-phase sustainability consulting services, including design integration, energy and water performance simulation, materials recommendations, and certification documentation and submission. The project integrated multiple green building strategies tailored to data center operations, resulting in strong performance across environmental and operational indicators.
Key Results:
Energy & Carbon Reduction: 12% overall energy savings through high-efficiency LED lighting, occupancy sensors, and rooftop solar installations.
Water Efficiency: Over 50% annual water savings achieved through low-flow fixtures and faucet optimizations.
Sustainable Materials & Waste Management: 75% construction waste diversion rate and use of local/recycled materials, reducing the project’s embodied carbon footprint.
Indoor Environmental Quality: Low-emitting materials, mechanical ventilation strategies, and targeted lighting design contributed to a healthier and more comfortable indoor space.
Dairen Chemical described the certification as a key milestone in their ESG roadmap, aligning with their ISCC PLUS certification and digital transformation initiative “Project TAME,” and underscoring the company’s commitment to long-term sustainability and operational excellence.
While supporting clients in achieving internationally recognized certifications, RCI goes further by optimizing design strategies and operational efficiency—ensuring that green buildings are not just symbols of sustainability, but actionable tools for long-term business value and performance.
