Nowadays, energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction sector is an indispensable part of my country's energy conservation, emission reduction and climate change efforts. Building emissions have accounted for about 40% of general urban emissions. Among them, residential buildings account for about 70% of the total carbon emissions of the construction industry. However, only 4% of buildings in my country currently adopt energy-saving measures. Of the 1.6 to 2 billion square meters of buildings newly added each year, 80% are high-energy-consuming buildings. This also means that the building energy efficiency market has great potential for development.
Among the four major energy-saving industries in my country's industry, construction, transportation, and life, building energy conservation is regarded as the most popular field, and it is the most direct and cheapest measure to reduce environmental pollution and improve the quality of the urban environment. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the state has put forward higher and clearer requirements for building energy efficiency: first, comprehensively promote the construction of heating metering facilities in newly-built buildings; second, improve the implementation rate of building energy efficiency standards during the construction phase; third, promote high performance Green buildings and low-energy buildings; the fourth is to promote the construction of energy-saving houses in rural areas. The real estate industry will face tremendous pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction in the future. Therefore, it is a smart decision to form its core competitiveness in the low-carbon era.
