saving objective of a 65 % reduction in energy consumption levels in rela-
tion to energy use levels in the same public building sector in the 1980s
(Beijing Construction Bureau 2005 ).
All standards and codes related to energy conservation in China’s build-
ing sector and their states of implementation are presented in Table 3.2
(Liang 2007 ).
