Appendix Annex 1 Table A-1 A Brief Summary of Building Energy Efficiency Policy Development in China Development Years Selected Policy Activities Stages China began to conduct research on civil building Early energy use, building energy efficiency technologies 1980s Research and building energy codes. Preparation Energy Conservation Design Standard for Civil 1 (1980s to Building (Heating of Residential Building)(1986) 1986) 1986 was the first design standard for residential buildings in China, which proposed the target of a 30% energy saving. China issued the Opinions on Speeding up the Innovation of Wall Materials and Promotion of Pilot Projects 1988- and carried out Energy-Efficient Buildings (1988), 2 1992 pilot projects in two Chinese cities. In 1992, the (1987 to 1992) experiments in two cities were scaled up to incorporate eight provinces and cities. China issued the Energy Conservation Design Standard for Thermal Engineering and Air 1993 the Adjustment in Tourist Hotel Buildings (1993), first design standard for public (including commercial) buildings. The former MOC established the Building Energy Efficiency Office and the Building Energy Efficiency Center, and began to develop and 1993- implement building energy efficiency policies in an 1996 organized manner, including the development of the 9th Five-Year Plan and 2010 Planning for Building Energy Efficiency, Technology Policy for Building System etc. Energy Efficiency, Formation 3 China updated the Energy Conservation Design Standard for Civil Building (Heating of Residential (1994 - 2005) 1995 increasing the energy-saving Building) (1995), target up to 50%. China issued its first Energy Conservation Law 1997 (1997). China issued Provisions on the Administration of Energy Conservation for Civil Buildings (1999), with regulations for the first time detailing the responsibilities of relevant stakeholders involved in 1999 the approval, design, construction, inspection, final acceptance and property management of construction projects. Penalties for violations of the regulations were also included in these Provisions. Development Years Selected Policy Activities Stages
