TBTC was established in 2007 with the support of the Ministry of Education's Top Universities Project. Since the construction industry is a locomotive industry, it has a huge impact on people's livelihood and the country's social economy, and construction technology is highly integrated, so it must be constructed Only with a complete cross-domain team and cross-border and cross-industry cooperation can we respond to diverse challenges such as climate change, energy conservation and emission reduction, earthquakes and typhoons, soil liquefaction, urban renewal, and shortage of labor and materials. The purpose of this center is to develop cutting-edge construction technology by combining international resources, build an international construction technology research center, cultivate cross-disciplinary teams and high-level research talents, implement benchmark industry-university cooperation, promote urban architectural renewal, drive the development of domestic construction technology, and enhance construction The international competitiveness of the construction industry is consistent with the school’s vision of developing an international applied research university.
The global building and construction sector accounts for 37% of the total carbon emissions. Net-zero carbon emissions in 2050 has been regarded as a common development goal. In response to global trends and in line with national policies such as building seismic safety innovation, building intelligence, construction industry upgrades, and renovation of dilapidated buildings, the Taiwan Construction Technology Center builds transnational and cross-domain projects with the support of a team of international scholars and experts as well as teachers and students on campus. Integrate research platforms and research main axes. The development of the center can be divided into four stages, namely the first stage (2006-2010), the Ministry of Education's plan to become a top university, with smart buildings and building life cycles as the main research axis; the second stage (2011-2016) education The Ministry of Education's plan to become a top university focuses on energy conservation and energy storage, safety and disaster prevention, smart interaction and creative design; the third phase (2018-2022) of the Ministry of Education's higher education intensive development plan focuses on energy conservation and sustainability, safety and life extension, and cloud intelligence. as the main axis; the fourth phase (2023-2027) of the Ministry of Education’s higher education intensive development plan takes disaster prevention and safety, energy conservation and emission reduction, and intelligent management as the main axis.
