Abstract

Quemoy University has taken over Cemetery 2 region after it was released by the military. It became the school’s other campus, with plans to change the site from an unused military camp to a sustainable campus. The finished project will include a carbon inventory of the buildings and landscape of the original camp, and overall campus planning and design. Incorporating the concept of applying GIS, the planning and survey data mentioned above will be used as the basis for the future research design and implementation. Aerial maps will be combined with cadastral and topographic maps to establish a basic evaluation resource map: a site plan map, data point map, building carbon footprint map, and route carbon footprint map. The main carbon hotspot of each building’s life cycle total carbon footprint is 549,293.14 kgCO 2 e/30 yr. Through putting solar panel systems on the buildings’ rooftops and the 30 year landscape carbon inventory principle of no disturbance as the carbon offset, the unused military campus will become a zero-carbon campus. The maps above will act as carbon diagnostics for future campus operation carbon footprint analysis and provide the current situation of the campus’s environmental sustainability and future visual scenario simulations, helping decision makers to build a sustainable campus environment strategy.
