Energy Efficiency Improvement in Public Sector Buildings in China (PSBEE) is the GEF project implemented by Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD). The objective of the project is to facilitate the energy-conserving and energy-efficient operation of public buildings and building services in China. The ultimate goal of the project is to manage the increase in energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions from the public sector in China.

The project’s strategy consists of a barriers removal approach to address the major obstacles for the adoption of energy conservation and energy efficiency (EC&EE) and low-carbon (LC) initiatives. The main barriers stated in the project document (ProDoc) are:

Inadequate policy and regulatory frameworks that promote and support EC&EE improvement initiatives in the public sector;
Absence of an overall evaluation system for reviewing and analyzing the existing energy management procedures and practices in public sector entities and their facilities;
Limited market-oriented financing mechanism for funding EC&EE technologies/products in the public sector; and,
Low level of capacity and awareness of public sector technical and management personnel on the application of EC&EE and LC technologies.

The project’s interventions are organized in four components on: (1) public sector EC&EE policy and regulatory frameworks, (2) energy performance monitoring and evaluation system for public sector buildings, (3) EC&EE improvement promotion and demonstration programs for public sector buildings, and (4) public sector EC&EE capacity and awareness enhancement program.

The outcomes of the project are as follows:

Outcome 1. Strict enforcement of approved enhanced policies and rules and regulations on energy efficiency and low-carbon operation and maintenance of public sector buildings;
Outcome 2. Better control and enhanced management of the energy performance of public sector buildings;
Outcome 3.1. Increased availability of resources (technical capacity, information, and financing) for EC&EE initiatives in public sector buildings and facilities;
Outcome 3.2. Increased application of EC&EE technologies in public sector buildings and facilities; and,
Outcome 4. Enhanced awareness and knowledge of public sector authorities and personnel and the citizenry on the cost-effective application of EC&EE technologies.

The Project’s budget from GEF Trust Fund is USD8,932,420. Its Co-financing is USD70,100,000, including funds from UNDP, central and provincial governments, and private sectors.

Project started in November 2018 and was planned to end in October 2022, and project is extended until 31 December 2023.
