Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is helping China to become more sustainable. Scientists Lynn Price and Nan Zhou have recently toured the country and provided advice to various organizations as part of the Chine Energy Group.
Formed in 1988, the China Energy Group has been an instrumental behind-the-scenes advisor and partner in the greening of China, working with Chinese agencies to build domestic know-how in energy efficiency. Staff members of nearly 300 cement plants in China have been trained to use the Group’s Benchmarking and Energy Savings Tool, and the Berkeley Lab experts have worked closely with Chinese counterparts to develop appliance efficiency standards and label programs, building codes for energy efficient design, energy use models,and more.
