Beijing Energy and Environment Exhibition 2008 Review

(This article is contributed by our guest writer, Julian Wong, and was first published in The Green Leap Forward.)

This is the 50th post for The Green Leap Forward! To celebrate, we visited the 2008 China (Beijing) International Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Exhibition held at the Beijing Exhibition Center this past weekend (Oct 17 through 20).

The first thing that strikes the visitor is the Cathedral-like grandeur of the Beijing Exhibition Center. It was opened in 1954 “with the late Premier Zhou En-Lai cutting the red ribbon and Chairman Mao Tse-Tung contributing poetic thoughts.” It doesn’t look like it is LEED-certified, but being more than half a century old, visitors could take heart in the fact that the building’s carbon debt has probably been paid off a while ago.

10% Energy Challenge

The National Environment Agency (NEA) is organising the 10% Energy Challenge to encourage households to reduce their electricity usage. In this national campaign, households who reduce their energy consumption by 10% between May and August will stand to win lucky draw prizes. The prizes include a hybrid car, energy efficient refrigerators and air-conditioners, LCD televisions and lighting products. NEA will also send out Energy Efficiency information kits to households, which contains useful tips on saving electricity.

This 10% Energy Challenge will tackle increasing energy consumption by households and help them save money. Households consumed 6,820 GWh of electricity in 2007, which is about 18% out of the total electricity generated (37,420 GWh in 2007) in Singapore. Energy consumption by households have also increased by 78% from 1995 to 2007. This is a result of higher standards of living with increased usage of electrical appliances in homes. NEA’s CEO, Mr Lee Yuen Hee, believes that “the choices Singaporeans make about how they use energy at home will help them manage overall household costs as well as help mitigate climate change.”

Check out more details about the 10% Energy Challenge from the Energy Efficiency website or from NEA’s news releases – NEA to households: cut your energy bills by 10% and NEA to step up efforts to promote Energy Efficiency.
