National Parks of Taiwan

As the most famous vertical hiking route of Shei-Pa National Park attracting more than 3,000 mountaineers each year, the "holy ridgeline" refers to the mountain ridge linking the main peak of Sheishan Ridge and the tip of Mt. Dabajian. In order to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction of high mountain facilities, at the planning and design period of the Banan Mountain House, Shei-Pa National Park Headquarters (SNPH) invited experts and scholars to form a consultation team to provide energy conservation design consultation service. The energy conservation and carbon reduction design principles include the environmental passive design, water resource recycling and storage for reuse, collection and use of clean alternative energy, energy-saving shell for facility structures and buildings, use of low carbon footprint and recycled materials, and use of high-performance and intelligent energy-saving equipment. Machinery and materials were lifted to the site by helicopters during the construction period. Apart from minimizing the effect on mountain and forest footpaths of human transportation, this has shortened the construction period significantly to minimize the impact on nature from construction.
