Strategic Study on Buildings Energy-efficiency Development in Northern Rural Areas of China
According to "China Rural Statistical Yearbook of 2006", annual household energy consumption for life in rural areas in 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China has reached 320 million tce, accounting for 20% of total building energy consumption in China. Promoting building energy-saving work northern rural areas is critical to the result of China’s overall building energy efficiency and is related to national energy strategies and sustainable economic and social development.

Comprehensive Application Research on Renewable Energy in Building
A research and exploration on dynamic load calculation methods appropriate for Turpan New Town photovoltaic project has been accomplished in the research project. And the power consumption of each type of construction by applying such methods in order to lay a foundation for the real-time forecast of power consumption of neighborhoods is calculated with fixed time interval. The research also posits that it is necessary to analyze measured data of subitem collected on the spot in real time in the implementation of project, continuously revise load calculation, forecast power consumption, combine the revised data with forecast data of power consumption and provide support for micro power grid. Through the accumulation of real data on Turpan New Town photovoltaic project and summarization of practical methods and indexes, it provides valuable referential data for other project design and standard revision.
