A tailored energy renovation plan for Yuzhong District with domestic and foreign experts

Zhang Yunpeng, Director of NECC International Cooperation Department, introduced the characteristics of this region. “Yuzhong District is Chongqing’s old and built-up area. It is a typical district in energy-saving renovation for old buildings and environmental protection and energy saving for new ones. The urban heat island effect is obvious for the high building density here, making it ideal for promoting regional energy.”

He introduced the NECC’s efforts to develop a tailored energy renovation plan for Yuzhong District with domestic and foreign experts. According to the plan, they will build an integrated energy control system to improve the energy management of energy consumers.
