Continuing the Development of Science Implementation on Energy Efficiency for Buildings Ⅰ The significance of greater efforts for energy saving in the construction sector (Ⅰ )It is an important field where the national energy conservation strategy applies. China has entered the rapid development stage of industrialization and urbanization. Similar to most of the developed countries, it will have to go through the rapid increase of energy demands and fast adjustment of the energy mix. It’s a huge challenge for China to ensure secure, economy and reliable energy supply and foster a sustainable energy development approach with Chinese characteristics. According to research by relevant agencies, with the same-targeted economic growth, different policies and measures can contribute to different energy structures and energy efficiency. The difference can be as great as nearly 800 million tons of coal equivalent in terms of primary energy use by the year 2020. In other words, different options of energy development strategies will generate different impacts on energy supply, energy security, environmental protection etc. Meanwhile, the structure of energy demand is bound to change greatly as the people’s living standard and their consumption structure - 1 - improve. It’s forecasted that the construction and transportation sectors will see higher growth rates of energy demand than the industrial sector. Their growth rates will also be higher than that of the total energy demand. The e
