 note = {With the inevitability of declining non-renewable energy and natural resources and the threat of global climate change, energy saving and carbon reduction are essential survival strategy for the developed and developing countries in the world. The quality and sustainability of a nation’s public infrastructure is a critical index of its economic vitality and national competitiveness. To ensure sustainable development of public infrastructure, the Public Construction Commission (PCC), Executive Yuan of Republic of China, issued a white paper and its implementation plan on “Sustainable Public Infrastructure – Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction” in November 2008. This white paper outlines broad principles and policies for achieving the sustainability of public infrastructure. Based on this white paper, the strategies and practical measures for sustainable development of public infrastructure with the emphasis in energy saving and carbon reduction during the entire life of the infrastructure, including the feasibility phase, planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and, at the end of service life, demolition and reuse are presented. The evaluation criteria and implementation plan including the development of the preliminary assessment indicators for sustainable construction are provided. Two successful stories of implementing energy saving and carbon reduction measures in planning, design, and construction of two recent public works projects in Taiwan are presented.},
