The background and motivation of this study are based on: (1) Energy saving and carbon emission reduction are the rising issues gaining more awareness and efforts worldwide. (2) Taiwan plans to build ¡§low-carbon cities¡¨ in order to implement the policy of greenhouse gas reduction. (3) The most direct and practical way to reduce carbon emissions is by saving energy. (4) Everyone has to use illumination sources. (5) ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨ is a useful tool to achieve the goal of energy saving and carbon emission reduction. Thus the topic of this study is ¡§The Effectiveness Analysis and Strategy of Energy-efficient Lighting in Developing a Low Carbon City ¡V A Case on Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨. The objectives of this study are: 1. To analyze the characteristics of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨ and their conformity with local and overseas energy-efficient lighting policies. 2. To analyze the effectiveness of lighting economics of the case companies before and after their adoption of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨. 3. To explore the possible obstacles and their solutions for lighting industry development of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨ in the public sectors¡¦ strategies to develop low-carbon cities in Taiwan. The main issues of this study are about energy-efficient lighting policies and the economical effectiveness of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨, which belong to policy research on energy-saving equipment and the lighting industry. Therefore three research methods: Literature Review, Case Study, and In-depth Interview were adopted to collect, compare, and analyze the data. The conclusions of this study are: 1. The characteristics of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨ are in conformance with energy-efficient lighting policies in Taiwan. 2. To provide the analysis result of the case companies¡¦ economic benefits after its adoption of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨. 3. To indicate the possible Dilemma of the lighting industry development of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨ and the energy-efficient lighting policies for the strategies to develop low-carbon cities in Taiwan. According to above research outcomes, three suggestions have been further proposed: 1. Users must change their concepts and habits of lighting usage in order to cultivate good energy-saving habits. 2. Users must select appropriate illumination sources according to their needs in order to achieve most effectiveness of lighting economics. 3. According to the needs of appropriate illumination sources, the government should promote and subsidize the development and use of ¡§Electro-Magnetic Induction Lamps¡¨.
