To fulfill the "2050 Net-Zero Taipei" commitment, Taipei City Government (TCG) convened the 2026 Real Estate Appraisal Committee on December 12, 2025. The committee approved a new policy effective on July 1, 2026, that buildings obtained a Level 1 or higher Building Energy-Efficiency Rating for the first time will receive a 5% reduction in the standard unit price of buildings. This initiative aims to drive net-zero emissions and demonstrates TCG's commitment to the global climate and environment.

Hu Hsiao-lan, Commissioner of the Department of Finance (DOF), stated that as global climate change and environmental issues intensify, many countries are actively promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction. Taipei has set a 2050 Net-Zero goal, and Mayor Chiang chaired the Taipei City Climate Change Response Steering Committee on December 18 last year, during which the “2025 Taipei City Voluntary Local Review’’ was passed. A dedicated chapter on net-zero sustainability outlines Taipei’s "Net-Zero Actions," starting with the breath of every building. To provide  encouragement for new constructions obtain Building Energy-Efficiency Labels, DOF launched this nationwide-first tax reduction policy for buildings get rated Level 1, Level 1+ (Nearly Zero-Carbon), or Level 0 (Net-Zero). The goal is to lower the house tax burden and provide incentives for a net-zero transition.

Acquiring Building Energy-Efficiency Labels not only improves energy performance and reduces electricity expenses but also offers easy access to tax benefits. This policy enables citizens feel the greenhouse gas mitigation as they participated together to create a "Net-Zero City."
