Policies and Standards for “Double Control” of Total Energy Consumption and Energy Intensity

Abstract

This paper introduces the background of goals regarding “double control” of total energy consumption and energy intensity, sorts out policies regarding “double control” action and their implementation, and points out that the standards for “double control” are efficient for the realization of “double control” goals. This paper also analyzes the shortcomings of standards for “double control” and gives some suggestions on the construction of the standard system for “double control” considering the demands of standards for “double control” and current status of the energy conservation standardizations in China.
