♻️ In order to reuse the waste, the waste needs to be sorted first. Yet, the staff of the routing garbage trucks hassling between alley to alley rarely have time to double-check. As a result, most of the recycling plants require manual labors and the machines using magnets, gravity, and puffs of air, but the sortings aren’t always accurate. Now, with the help of AI, the problem can be solved!!🌟 In 2023, a recycling plant was established in New Taipei City. Not like usual one, this plant features its AI-driven sorting system with up to 97% of accuracy. In the E1S3 of #Delta podcast “Climate Battle in Taiwan”, we’ve invited the senior specialist from Environmental Protection Department of New Taipei City and the project manager of the Da Fon Environmental Technology to share with us: 1️⃣ The training process of waste-sorting robot kit 🦾 2️⃣ The differences between intelligent waste sorting and automated sorting  3️⃣ With the AI-driven waste sorting machines, does it mean we no longer need to sort the recycles ourselves?

🌬️ AI is revolutionizing air quality monitoring. The conventional air quality assessments which heavily rely on atmospheric physics and chemistry often encounter lack of available data due to limited number of monitoring station. Yet, with #GeoAI, this isn’t a problem anymore. In E7S2 of "Climate Battle in Taiwan” Podcast, the professor of National Cheng Kung University, Chi-Da Wu would share with us how GeoAI helps to forecast air pollution with high precision, detects air pollution source without monitoring stations and finds out the link between suicide rate and urban green space.

🔥 Taipei may be the hottest city in Taiwan but its temperature isn’t the fastest-rising one. Taoyuan is. As the urban heat island in Taipei Greater Area and Taoyuan are growing now which could make hotspots expand and connect together and cause cities even more difficult to dissipate the heat. What can we do to mitigate the effect and prevent the hotspots from enlarging? In the E7S2 of #Delta Podcast, the climate expert and professor of National Cheng Kung University, Tzu-ping Lin is invited to share with us: 1️⃣ What are the strategies to deal with expanding heat island hotspots? 2️⃣ What are the impacts of the heat island effect on human health? 3️⃣ How does rising temperature affect our energy consumption?

🏙️ While the world is getting hotter, how can we meet the cooling demands and cut emissions? The key answer may lie in “smart energy building”. In “Climate Battle in Taiwan” Podcast S2 E6, we invited Mr. Camyale Chao, the Executive Director of International Climate Development Institute, to share with us his experience on implementation of #GreenBIM system at #Delta Electronics Chungli Plant V. In this episode, we are going to learn:  1️⃣ How to design a climate-responsive building with weather data? 2️⃣ Does the accuracy of the weather forecast affect the smart building design?  3️⃣ The steps and check-points before and during the implementation of the GreenBIM system.

Every year, Taiwan spends over NT2.2 trillion on public procurement, and NT800 billion of which is used in public construction.  To decarbonize the high GHG emission of construction sector, public construction procurement plays the crucial role. In #Delta “Climate Battle in Taiwan” Podcast: Episode 5 of Season 2, we invited Mr. Yeh, the former chair of Public Construction Commission (PCC) to share with us: 1️⃣ What’s PCC’s plan for achieving the 2050 Net Zero Target? 2️⃣ How to lower the embodied carbon in reinforced concrete?  3️⃣ What are the differences between PCC’s public procurement database and the Ministry of Environment’s?

🏗️ According to UNEP, the buildings and construction sector accounts for about 40% of global GHG emissions. With the rapid urbanization, the GHG emission is expected to double by 2050 unless urgent action is taken. Yet, the building isn’t only about decarbonization. It is also about the circular economy. Following this Season Topic “Built Environment”, in Episode 3 of #Delta podcast, we invited the practitioner from Taiwan Construction Research Institute to share with us: 1️⃣ How to design buildings on a circular economy? 2️⃣ Taiwan’s challenges of lacking databases in the Built-environment.   3️⃣ Is Buildings-As-Materials-Banks (BAMB) mandatory for reducing embodied carbon?

🏙️ Urban resilience can’t be achieved without knowledge exchange. Cities can learn from each other, so do the local communities and city planners.  In Season 2 Episode 2 of #Delta podcast, we focus on how knowledge exchange helps to build on urban resilience, and when local communities are empowered by data scientific evidence, how does it amplify scientists’ influence on policy and decision making?  To explore local empowerment in city planning:  👉IC之音 https://lnkd.in/gBf-A-Qb 👉Apple podcast https://lnkd.in/gjburg7c 👉YouTube https://lnkd.in/gE-5p9Ua 👉Spotify https://lnkd.in/giQWTRQc 👉KKBOX https://lnkd.in/giX2asi9

Last weekend (on 1st June) Delta volunteers gathered at Chaojing Coral Conservation Center to use CoralWatch and check coral health! They learned to identify coral color, classify coral species, and upload data. After holding the course, we expect our volunteers to carry out regular monitoring and assist more works in restoration! #WorldReefDay
