Commercial Air Conditioning Energy Saving Subsidy Rule or Promulgated Next Year

The reporter recently learned that the government’s relevant authorities have completed investigations into the energy efficiency subsidies for chiller units, multi-connected units, and unit air conditioners in commercial air conditioners and are working out relevant detailed implementation rules for subsidies. According to industry sources, the implementation rules for commercial air-conditioning energy-saving subsidies will be released in 2013.

Ovi Consulting Director Zhang Yanbin believes that the energy-saving subsidy policy of the near future will drive the development of the air-conditioning industry chain, and the energy-saving and environmental-friendly industrial policy will become more apparent. Commercial air-conditioning will benefit from this policy.

According to Ovid Consulting's monitoring data, in the first half of 2012, China’s commercial air conditioners continued to decelerate on the basis of a slowdown in the second half of 2011. The overall market size was approximately 24.7 billion yuan, a decrease of 11.3% over the same period of 2011, and the decline was the highest in history. . From the overall situation in the first half of the year, the industry in the second half of the year still faces many challenges. In the second half of 2012, with the loosening of macroeconomic policies and strategic adjustments of brands, the overall downturn in the commercial air-conditioning industry may change.

Undoubtedly, the energy efficiency subsidy policies of commercial air conditioners for chillers, multi-line, and unit air conditioners will boost the development of commercial air conditioners, further stimulate commercial air conditioner products to improve energy efficiency, and companies may invest more funds in technological innovation. The introduction of this subsidy policy will play a positive role in promoting the prosperity of commercial air-conditioning as a whole.
