energy-saving industry may experience some
reshuffling in the future standardisation process.
Finally, let’s take a look at the situation in other
countries:
US contract energy management policy
The US Government has enacted the Federal
Government Performance Contract (ESPC) Act,
and the US Department of Energy provided
specific guidance and assistance to Government
agencies to develop documents on contract
energy management. After the implementation
of the ESPC Act, the project capital recovery
rate of the energy-saving benefit-sharing model
was accelerated, which reduced the financial
risk of energy-saving service companies. After
the contract was over, the federal Government
received all the energy-saving benefits and
the economic growth rate rapidly increased. In
addition, the US Government has formulated
a number of energy conservation policies,
provided a good policy environment, promoted
the development of the energy conservation
service industry, and raised public awareness
of energy conservation services. In addition to
mandatory regulations, the United States has
also developed a market-based approach to
energy-saving standards in various industries
to promote the development of energy-saving
services. They have established standards for
the verification and testing of energy-saving
services in the energy-saving service industry
on a technical level in order to standardise the
energy-saving services market.
