Research on the development strategy of building energy efficiency service industry

Abstract

Building Energy Efficiency Services is executed by the professional energy service companies (ESCO) that provide energy condition diagnosis, design, financing, transformation of energy-saving projects (construction, equipment installation, debugging) and operation management service. Because of the specialization and the superiority of its technique integration, increasingly, put into practice by many nations. Implementing Building Energy Efficiency Service to pushing energy efficiency retrofit of existing building is an inevitable direction for advancing building energy efficiency on the whole in China. However, we can find the fact that the domestic building energy efficiency industry developed slowly. The paper analyzes the main obstacles facing the development of building energy efficiency service industry. Such as the energy efficiency benefit main body is not clear, the lack of enthusiasm for energy saving, the lack of understanding of the public, the lack of market demand, the Lack of building energy efficiency standard system and ESCO are small in scale and financing difficulties. At last the paper comes to the conclusion that on the one hand, the ESCO should to build the exclusive competitive resources, build new marketing ideas and improve the quality of service. On the other hand our government should to build the industrial support policy to promote the building energy efficiency service industry development. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
