To ensure complete lifecycle quality records, the PCC raised nomination thresholds: alongside maintaining the minimum score of 85 in the prior year's audit, projects must now undergo at least two audits every 12 months between 20% and 90% construction progress, the minimum overall progress threshold was raised from 60% to over 80%, and energy-saving and carbon-reduction indicators were introduced. The ceremony is scheduled for December 2, 2026, in Taipei.
