The Policy Research on Energy Saving and Low Carbon Action of Top-10,000 Enterprises (Hotels, Restaurants, Commercial Enterprises and Schools)
The Policy Research on Energy Saving and Low Carbon Action of Top-10,000 Enterprises (Hotels, Restaurants, Commercial Enterprises and Schools)
During the early "Twelfth Five-Year Period", with a view to implementing the energy conservation and emission reduction targets set by the State Council, 12 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly issued Notice on Printing and Distributing Top 10,000 Enterprise Energy-Saving and Low-Carbon Action Implementation Plan (Fa Gai Huan Zi (2011) No. 2873) (hereinafter referred to as the "Energy-Saving and Low-Carbon Action") to encourage enterprises in the industrial field, as well as hotels, restaurants, commercial companies, and schools in the transportation and construction field to carry out the Action. However, the Action, as an important part of the energy conservation target set for the "Twelfth Five-Year Period", has never been implemented in the construction field before. Furthermore, the value of the energy consumption and energy management models of the construction field vary significantly with those of the industrial enterprises. So it is quite hard to entirely copy the evaluation plan and energy conservation supervision measures applicable to the industrial field. Consideration should be taken due to the specific situation of enterprises in the construction field, in order to establish appropriate energy conservation and low-carbon measures. Philosophy
Therefore, in order to provide a better implementation to the relevant national policies, this project considered the general requirements of the Action Implementation Plan, and conducted researches on the energy-saving assessment index system and evaluation & scoring standard, completeness of the energy utilization report system, and policies intended to promote the construction of enterprise energy management system of hotels, restaurants, commercial companies, and schools in the construction field according to their energy consumption and energy management features. It also proposed a proper energy-saving assessment index system and evaluation & scoring standard, improved the energy utilization report system, and provided suggestions on policies for the construction of energy management system. The research results can provide a solid basis for relevant national departments to improve the policy system of the Action Implementation Plan.
