TY - JOUR AU - Liu, Qibo AU - Ren, Juan PY - 2018 DA - 2018/08/01 TI - Research on technology clusters and the energy efficiency of energy-saving retrofits of existing office buildings in different climatic regions JO - Energy, Sustainability and Society SP - 24 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - During the period of the “12th Five-Year Plan,” energy demand exhibited a rigorous growth trend along with the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization and the constant upgrading of consumption structure. Therefore, the path that all cities and provinces must take towards sustainable development required by the “13th Five-Year Plan” is to enhance research on the energy efficiency of buildings, especially existing buildings; sufficiently evaluate regional building energy demands and the characteristics of resources and environment; and formulate regional technical measures and policies for building practical energy efficiency measures.
