He has pointed out that we have thirty six volunteers participate in the patrol of OESH. They will put on the blue vest represents the energy saving patrol and go patrolling inside the campus. If they find out the empty space like classrooms, laboratories, corridors or toilets that still light on and the air conditioner isn’t switched off, they’ll turn them off right away. “They will lead everyone no matter students or teachers to save energy and save the Earth!”

Leader Tsai hopes that everyone in this university can work with this green policy. Please have some respect to the patrol members who are doing their duties, and also invite everyone to cooperate, the first one is please do not turn on the Spilt-Type air conditioner when the central air conditioning is open so as not to repeatedly consume; the second one is please switch off the light and air conditioner when you’re the last person who leave this classroom; the third one is please do not turn all the light and air conditioner on when you are in this classroom alone; the forth one is please close all the doors and windows when the air conditioner is opened.
