Improving Energy Efficiency and Reducing Emissions Through Intelligent Railway Station Buildings
Asian Development Bank | September 2015
Abstract
Buildings in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) consume 21% of the total energy produced in the
country. This study analyzes and proposes feasible energy-saving and emission-reducing solutions
for domestic railway stations in the PRC. The use of intelligent building controls support reduction of
energy consumption, minimization or elimination of energy wastes, and cost savings. Strong institutional
mechanisms and railway building management methods and policies also promote technological
innovation. Moreover, these are necessary to balance the interests of multiple parties to be able to
achieve energy efficiency in railway station buildings in the PRC.
