中国新的空气和环境法律扩大了监测、记录和报告的要求。应制定一个空气质量数据收集和管理的一体化系统，允许机构开发查询，执行质量保证和质量控制检查，帮助诊断不合规行为，评估仪器的性能，改善排放清单，并作为环境空气质量数据的交叉检查。 本文介绍了在�...

近年来，中国在环境法、环境税和大气法方面进行了完善，为确保企业遵守空气质量标准提供了坚实的基础。美国在1990年《清洁空气法修正案》颁布后，环保署和各州面临着实施大量新要求和标准的挑战，清洁空气法扩大实施与中国生态环保部扩展权限面临的挑战相似，因此�...

排污许可证是确保实现空气质量和温室气体目标有效制度的重要组成部分，是空气质量管理规划的五个基本要素之一，也是排放限制得以实施的机制。国际经验的最佳做法表明，许可证条款中应规定要达到的排放标准，以及确保合规的流程、程序、记录保存和报告要求。企业�...

一段时间以来，为了在实现以公共健康为基础的目标方面取得更大进展，空气质量规划一直是中国感兴趣的领域。中国的政策制定者可能会从美国的经验中获得启发——而且，通过在国家和地方层面实施改进后的规划，可能远远超越美国现有的做法。 美国的许多先进州和城�...

The European Union has committed to a net-zero economy by 2050. To get there, it must decarbonise the building stock, which accounts for 36% of EU carbon emissions. The current rate of renovation, however, is only one-third of that needed. Even the improvements that are being undertaken are delivering meagre savings of 9% to 17% primary energy. Europe therefore n...

Spain has set some of the most ambitious renewable energy targets in Europe. The country is planning to double the share of renewables in its electricity mix from roughly 37% in 2015 to 74% in 2030, with solar and wind power leading the way towards those targets. But a question remains: How can Spain reap the full benefits of the energy transition while ‘keepin...

How do we take Europe’s building stock to net-zero by 2050? Currently, only around 1% of the building stock is renovated each year. Even worse, only 0.2% of the renovated floor area undergoes a deep renovation that saves more than 60% primary energy. To get Europe on track to decarbonise the building stock by 2050, the renovation rate needs to triple and the am...
