Background and Organizational Context
The China End-Use Energy Efficiency Project (EUEEP) is designed to support the first phase of a 4-phase, 12-year strategic plan developed by the Chinese government to significantly improve the efficiency of its major end-use sectors, buildings and industry. The project fosters a strategic approach to developing, implementing and enforcing a comprehensive and effective energy conservation policy and regulatory system consistent with the objectives of the Energy Conservation Law of 1998. The project’s purpose is the removal of barriers to the widespread application and practice of energy conservation and energy efficiency in the major energy consuming sectors (buildings and industrial) in China. The project activities focus on the industrial and buildings sectors and are supplemented by crosscutting activities that will benefit both sectors. Sub-components in Industrial activities component (Component A) focus on 4 main areas: introduce and demonstrate the concept of energy conservation Agreements in industrial sectors of iron and steel, cement and chemical; develop and promote an energy efficiency design code for the cement industry; promote the energy efficiency of motor system and improve the operation of motor system; develop energy efficiency standards /labeling in the industrial, residential and commercial sectors. The China energy conservation agreements will develop the energy efficiency benchmarking guidelines for key energy-intensive industries such as iron and streel, chemical and cement.The experts will provide co-ordination and support to the four sub-contractors in the implementation of the program.
