China: End-Use Energy Efficiency Programme (EUEEP)

EUEEP is part of a 12-year government plan to dramatically improve the efficiency of China’s major energy users: commercial and residential buildings, heavy industries such as iron, steel, cement, and petrochemicals. The EUEEP is designed to support develop and implement a comprehensive system of policies and regulations for energy conservation. These will range from technological innovations to creation and revision of design codes to the development of training materials and energy conservation guidelines for architects, engineers, and industrial managers to improve the efficiency of industrial equipment such as electric motors and boilers, household, appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, as well as office automation equipment . The UNDP and the GEF, in partnership with government agencies, research institutes, bilateral donor countries, non-governmental organizations, and enterprises, will also help introduce and test new technologies, methodologies, and market-based mechanisms and tools.
