- By achieving the energy saving goal, China can save 110 million tons of coal from 2006-2010
- The cost for energy efficiency will not raise house price
China's key priorities on Energy Efficiency are: ensuring energy supply reliability, managing the environmental impact mainly by coal, reducing environmental damage and increasing the efficiency of energy use.
Efficient use of energy is critical to fulfill the projected economic growth in China!
Since traditional building practices often overlook the interrelations between a building, its components, its surroundings and its occupants, building consume a lot more resources than necessary and negatively impact the environment locally and globally.
