BERS Building Energy Rating System
A building energy efficiency assessment tool tailored for Taiwan's subtropical climate and complex and diverse building characteristics.

In order to implement the net zero building policy, the Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior has divided the buildings into two types: new buildings (BERSn) and existing buildings (BERSe). Both are distributed in levels of 1 and 1-7, providing a labeling method that the public can feel, guiding the government, enterprises, and consumers to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, driving the market's spontaneous building energy-saving actions, and then implementing the building energy-saving and carbon reduction policy.
EEWH-BERS is a standard method for calculating, scoring and labeling building energy efficiency under the existing EEWH Taiwan Green Building Label System. It is currently limited to certain non-residential buildings with more regular usage characteristics and is also limited to areas below 800 meters above sea level. According to the 2050 Taiwan Net Zero Carbon Emissions Pathway Plan, there will be nearly 10 million existing buildings in the country, and 50% of existing buildings will be updated to Class I building energy efficiency or near-zero carbon buildings by 2040. To achieve this goal, 2.9% (about 145,000 buildings) of existing buildings need to be updated each year.
With rich experience in energy-saving improvement, Yijing plans practical and feasible BERS consulting services for customers from evaluating results to implementing plans.
Public buildings reach Class 1 building energy efficiency or near-zero carbon buildings
- BERS to be introduced in public buildings for offices and services in July 2023
- In July 2024, BERS will be introduced for public buildings for public gatherings, commercial buildings, leisure buildings, and cultural and educational buildings; and private buildings for offices, services, public gatherings, and commercial buildings.
- In July 2025, BERS will be introduced in public buildings for health, welfare, rehabilitation, and accommodation; and in private buildings for leisure, culture, education, health, welfare, rehabilitation, and accommodation.
- The first phase is from July 2023 to the end of 2025, and the above-mentioned buildings must reach building energy efficiency level 2 or above. The second phase will start from 2026, and the above-mentioned buildings must reach level 1 or near-zero carbon buildings (level 1 ).
50% of existing buildings will be updated to Class 1 or near-zero carbon buildings
100% of new buildings and 85% of buildings are near-zero carbon buildings
Since 2002, EU countries have actively promoted the Energy Performance Labelling of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to establish an energy efficiency certification system for new and existing buildings.
In Taiwan, buildings can obtain the "Building Energy Efficiency Label" through the "Building Energy-Efficiency Rating System (BERS)" rating assessment as a concrete proof of energy-saving efficiency. Through BERS's standard audit, the building's energy consumption can be assessed and reviewed and adjusted if excessive energy consumption is found.
