Taiwan's EEWH is the first system independently developed based on the energy saving features of buildings in the subtropics, as well as the first green building assessment system in Asia. Like several other green building assessment systems around the world, there have been demands for the EEWH to make adjustments for overseas scenarios. In recent years, Taiwanese businesses have been proactively expressing intent to obtain Taiwan's Green Building Labeling when setting up factories or developing building projects overseas. They are motivated by a desire to cut actual energy and carbon consumption, which translates into cost reduction, and an enhanced corporate image that may help them win over orders from large international businesses. It is evident that the EEWH is now widely recognized. Taiwanese businesses, faced with tough global competition, seem to be placing their hopes on the EEWH as their arsenal for gaining strong global positioning and green opportunities. To respond to this call, the ABRI commissioned the NCKU Graduate School of Architecture to, beginning in 2015, undertake a series of researches that explore the feasibility of applying the EEWH overseas. The researches show that the EEWH, with its strengths in a clear framework, simple indicator calculations, smooth application process and simplified documentation, would become quite feasible for overseas application provided some adjustments are made to the current framework. Nevertheless, baseline values in the current EEWH system have been set according to Taiwan's unique context. Although the framework and calculations of the current EEWH system may be applied overseas, the baseline values for the indicators need to be modified according to local climates, regulations and design practices to make them relevant.
