2002年8月12日,英国《独立报的一篇文章中写到:"自20世纪70年代以来,不断增加的电器使用量导致了家庭能源消耗量持续上升。当我们面临全球变暖的现实时,只需要看一下自己的起居室对全球变暖的影响就可以了。"8月26日,联合国在南非的约翰内斯堡召开了有史以来规模最大的一次地环峰会,与会代表们明确表示:能源问题已成为我们的世界所面临的最紧迫的问题之一。在过去的20年里,中国政府十分重视工业部门的节能,以较低的能耗换取了最大限度的工业增长。近来来,政府已经逐渐意识到,随着人发生活水平的提高,建筑(包括民用和商用建筑)的能耗增长很快。因此,采取措施抓好建筑节能,包括家用电器的节能工作变得非常重要。
Energy-saving in the refrigerator sector started pretty early and the achievement is obvious. It is estimated in the comingdecade, after taking energy-saving measures, refrigerators will increase in energy efficiency by 40%, bringing RMB40 billion toconsumers, reducing electricity consumption by 73 billion kilowatts, CO_2 emissions by 50 million tons. Air conditioners willincrease in energy effciency by 10%, reducing CO_2 emissions, decreasing electrical network peak loads and saving inveatmentin electrical capital construction. Colour TV's standby energy-saving attestation has already kicked off. The analysis and esti-mation shows that, if the standby energy-saving is kept at 3 watts, in the coming decade, RMB 1.567 billion will be saved, hasedon China's average electricity price in 1999. According to China's discharge ratio issued by the World Bank, the carbon dis-charge can be reduced by 930,000 tons. Some small bousehold electrical appliances will extend to larger areas. Washing ma-chines energy-saving management is in its initial stage.
