Public Private Partnership for Building Energy Efficiency
The report finds that, the funding gap in building energy saving will expand to 1.53 trillion RMB in the next five years, but the current government-led investment model is proved to be unaffordable and unsustainable. It is an imperative to attract private capital to the field, which will not only broaden funding channels, but also stimulate innovation and application of energy-efficient technologies and advanced management methods.
This report was supported by Energy Foundation and released by the China Energy Conservation Association in 2017.

Survey ResultsSummary：Green Electricity Consumption and Demand in China
Funded by Energy Foundation (EF), the Climate Group(TCG) undertook a survey on behalf of Green Electricity Action Plan between 10th October 2016 and 21st April 2017 to help uncover the demand and utilization of renewable electricity (RE) by industrial parks and corporates in China. The Executive Summary includes the key findings from this survey.Thefindings are based on responses from 101 respondents, including 8 industrial parks and 93 companies, and will informGreen Electricity Action Plan’s future work by confirming thegrowing demand for renewable electricity in China, as well as identifying some key levers to ensure further growth of the corporate market.

Driving Forces of Low Carbon Development in Chinese Communities
Through questionnaires and field interviews in typical communities, this report analyzes the current status and possible trends of China's low carbon communities, identifies their problems in terms of policy, funding, and technology, and proposes feasible solutions.
It helps to better understand the status quo, and provides a pathway of promoting low carbon development in communities first, and then expanding them to the city level.
The research was supported by Energy Foundation China and released by the Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Beijing Chaoyang Yuheng Sustainable Transportation Research Center in 2017.

Comprehensive Utilization of Solar Energy in Public Buildings
Researchers select three representative Chinese cities—Xining, Yinchuan, and Xichang—in the western region of abundant solar resources to investigate energy performance of public buildings. Combined with local building characteristics and meteorological data, the analysis establishes an evaluation model for comprehensive utilization of solar energy in typical public buildings. Based on the model, the report identifies the optimal combination of solar energy utilization in a typical public building in a solar-rich region.
This research was supported by Energy Foundation China and conducted by the China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute and the China Architecture Design Group.

Piloting Energy Management in YUNNAN
In 2015, IIP worked with three energy-intensive factories in Yunnan Province, China, helping them to
implement an energy management system and cut their energy use. Here we document the challenges,
benefits and methodology of our pilot project, which ran from August 2015 to April 2016, and discuss
how similar enterprises can apply the learnings to secure energy efficiency in their own plants.
