Enigin Update - Energy Efficiency Challenge for North China Buildings
MORE than half the buildings constructed in northern China in 2009 failed to meet China's energy-saving standards, stated an inspection report released this week.
China's top legislature conducted an inspection discovering over 2 billion square meters of space in old buildings in northern China in need energy saving upgrades.
"Concerning the implementation of the Law on Energy Conservation, there are still many problems which require attention," said Hua Jianmin, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), Monday when briefing lawmakers on the report.
The Inspectors, consisting of NPC deputies, toured eight provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to check the enforcement of the Energy Conservation Law, which took effect in April 2008.
Among other measures, the law requires strict controls of indoor temperatures in public buildings.
"We found indoor temperatures in many public buildings are too low in summer and too high in winter. Some buildings had windows open while air conditioners were being run," Hua said.
The report called use of energy-saving technologies and greater efforts to promote the use of solar energy, methane and other renewable energy resources. It also proposed increasing funding to help buildings in northern China to achieve energy-saving standards.
Further, figures from the report show that high-energy-consumption industries accounted for some 80 percent of the country's total industrial energy consumption last year.
"The industrial development, especially that of high-consumption heavy industry, has been overly fast, which greatly boosted the country's energy consumption on the whole," Hua said, adding that a large amount of technology and equipment in industry is outdated.
The report urged major efforts need to be made in structure adjustment in accordance with energy savings and emission reductions.
Enigin Distributors have the technology from Enigin to be able to help commerce, industry and the public sector to become energy efficient while maintaining services and even growing. So despite a rise in services or production, by managing where the energy is used and saved demand can be controlled leaving to energy and financial savings.
