Building energy efficiency, post-management is equally important

Recently, Xie Jiaxuan, President of the China Property Management Association, expressed at the “Property Management and Energy Efficiency of Existing Buildings” forum held in Beijing that as a property management industry that manages large real estate, it has the conditions and responsibilities to promote energy saving and emission reduction in existing buildings. Actively contribute.

As a large energy consumer, building energy conservation in China is increasingly concerned by the state, government, and society. Vigorous efforts to promote energy efficiency in newly-built buildings, carry out energy-saving renovation of existing buildings, and promote the widespread use of renewable energy in buildings are being carried out in full swing. Some experts pointed out that design, construction and operation management are the three decisive factors that affect the size of building energy consumption. Among them, excellent design is the basis of energy conservation, excellent construction is the guarantee of energy conservation, and scientific operation and management is the final implementation method of building energy conservation. However, it is undeniable that, due to various reasons, compared with the former two, the energy-saving problem in the operational stage of a building has received insufficient attention.

Compared with the construction period of just a few years, the energy saving during the operation of several decades is even more important. According to statistics, the management cost of a building during its life span after construction is about 7 times the construction cost, and it is currently 12 times that in China, of which the energy consumption costs account for the largest proportion.

From this, it can be seen that the operation and management of the property in the later period is closely related to the energy consumption of the building. This is like good driving habits and daily maintenance is the same as the car's fuel-efficient guarantee. After the building is put into use, if various equipments are not properly used, and over time, the facilities such as walls, doors, windows, heating, air-conditioning, etc. may all suffer from aging and other problems, which will lead to increased energy consumption of the buildings. In other words, only energy-saving design and energy-saving construction, lack of energy-saving operation and management, buildings are likely not only not energy-saving, but will consume energy.

However, for a long time, due to only paying attention to early construction, neglecting later-stage management, reusing and light maintenance, and ignoring the energy-saving management of the operation link, the existing property management model does not link the profit of the property-service company with building energy-saving, and the property-service company is The enthusiasm of building energy conservation is not high; the level of overall cultural quality of property management practitioners is not high, lack of necessary knowledge and skills in building energy conservation, and more and more advanced energy-saving equipment is incompetent... These are all to increase energy efficiency during building operation and management. Constraints on effectiveness.

For building energy conservation, property management companies as a direct manager of buildings are “conditional and responsibility”, but if property management companies want to take the initiative and be able to take on this important task, they also need to innovate through the system, system and management model. Inspire their enthusiasm. At the same time, property management companies must also strengthen their own quality and technological level.
