In 2018, although the Taiwan Power Building had been completed for 36 years, through the integration of smart energy conservation, using the Intelligent Building Energy Management System, it monitored and analyzed its energy usage, updated the air conditioning system, and created a green computer room. It saves around 1.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and nearly 4,000 tonnes of water annually, and has thus been awarded the highest level of platinum certification for existing building renovations by the U.S. Green Building Certification Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://taiwantoday.tw/news.php?unit=15&post=133999|title=Taipower headquarters earns highest-level green building certification|website=taiwantoday.tw|date=9 May 2018 }}</ref> It is the oldest LEED certified green building in Taiwan, receiving full marks to place in the top fifth percentile of office buildings worldwide, and only about 400 buildings in the world have received this certification.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nownews.com/news/2083081|title=(Chinese)台電大樓變得更「溫柔」了！ 讓你漫遊駐足|website=nownews.com|date=30 April 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://udn.com/news/story/7238/5237304|title=(Chinese)逾40年台電大樓節電又省水 回收水資源超過9,000噸|website=udn.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cna.com.tw/news/afe/202102060075.aspx|title=(Chinese)台電大樓節能一把罩 回收水資源逾9000噸|website=cna.com.tw}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://tw.appledaily.com/home/20050806/R4KEPEHFC66BA4X24EGYARABEQ/|title=(Chinese)台電大樓站周邊 學區影響房價|website=tw.appledaily.com}}</ref>
