On December 22nd, at the release conference of the "China HVAC Industry 2030 Carbon Reduction 

Roadmap" themed "Carbon Exploration · Green New Ecology", Li Jiang, the chairman of the China 

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association, pointed out that as a major consumer of building 

energy, the HVAC industry will achieve a carbon reduction target of 316 million tons by 2030.

When it comes to air conditioners, most people will think of the two aspects of cooling and heating. 

But for the air conditioning systems in buildings, this is far from enough. In addition to heating and cooling,

 standards such as technological leadership, product stability, and energy efficiency of the solution are 

all indicators for measuring its professional quality. Nowadays, a new measurement criterion, "carbon 

reduction volume", has been added.

In an interview with a journalist, Li Jiang said that whether it is the "double reduction" standard or 

the formulation of air conditioning standards, the focus should be on one point: China's manufacturing 

industry must have its own standards and internationalize the right to set standards. This work must be 

done. From the mask orders we placed with foreign countries at the beginning of the pandemic last year

 to the Xinjiang cotton incident, our high-quality products have been constrained by foreign standards. 

It is evident that the formulation of a good standard is closely related to the development of an industry. 

When the products of leading enterprises in an industry reach the forefront both nationally and globally, 

they should simultaneously leverage their own advantages and work closely with industry associations to

 formulate industry standards that are ahead of the national and even global standards. Only in this way 

can our manufacturing industry and all walks of life remain invincible in future international competition 

and lead the way.

Three feasible paths to lock onto the digital goal of "carbon reduction"

Data shows that carbon emissions from building operations have accounted for 22% of the total 

carbon emissions of the entire society, while the energy consumption of HVAC systems accounts for

 approximately 50% of the total energy consumption of buildings and about 15% of the total energy 

consumption of society. As various policies for the "dual carbon" goals are gradually advanced, the state 

has introduced a series of preferential policies to further strengthen the supervision and management of

 energy consumption in public buildings. It is now imperative to significantly reduce the energy consumption 

of HVAC systems. However, at present, there are thousands of manufacturers engaged in the HVAC industry

 in China, serving millions of customers every year. How can the visualization, traceability and analysis of

 carbon emission management be achieved in a short period of time? The answer is unified goal management.

At the conference site, the China Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association, the China 

Electronic Energy Conservation Association and the China Energy Conservation Association jointly 

witnessed the three carbon reduction paths proposed by Haier Central Air Conditioning, namely 

intelligent manufacturing, low-carbon products and recycling.

Li Jiang believes that to achieve the major strategic goal of carbon peaking, the HVAC industry must have 

clear quantified targets. Only in this way can it promote the construction of a three-level information 

sharing system among experts, brands and users, and build an intelligent decision-making system that is 

crisscrossed, data-reliable, goal-achievable and controllable in the industrial chain, so as to promote the 

transformation and development of the HVAC industry towards green and low-carbon.

The organic integration of industry, academia, research and application

The "China HVAC Industry 2030 Carbon Reduction Roadmap" released this time is the result of a 

"strong alliance" between China's top institutions and leading brand Haier. It is understood that this 

roadmap integrates four types of resources, namely technology, standards, data and talents, to help HVAC 

achieve its carbon reduction goals. Among them, the HVAC Green and Low-Carbon Standards Formulation 

Committee will regularly organize seminars on HVAC green and low-carbon standards. Meanwhile, the

 HVAC energy consumption analysis big data will integrate the existing energy consumption data resources

 of HVAC systems in the industry, promote the sharing of energy consumption data resources of HVAC 

systems, and provide data support for research related to the "dual carbon" goals of HVAC.

Meanwhile, as a leading domestic brand, Haier independently developed the central air conditioning 

energy efficiency management and control system - "Intelligent Control Cloud System", which combines 

high-efficiency magnetic levitation technology with smart cloud technology. It integrates air conditioning 

operation and management experience, is equipped with an advanced BS architecture hardware system, 

high-precision sensors, and energy management software. We provide customers with comprehensive

 energy-saving services including optimized operation and energy-saving control of the cold and heat 

source systems of air conditioning refrigeration stations and air conditioning terminals, energy analysis, 

energy diagnosis, remote operation and maintenance, solution design and project implementation, to

 improve the operational efficiency of air conditioning systems.

Once upon a time, carbon peaking was merely a fantasy of industry professionals. Now, top institutions,

 industry associations and leading enterprises have taken the lead in launching joint actions. Through 

three major measures in the layout of the manufacturing end, technology end and application end, the

 2030 carbon reduction roadmap for China's HVAC industry, led by Haier Central Air Conditioning, indicates

 that as an enterprise, Haier no longer only focuses on the standards of air conditioners and other products

 themselves, but has initiated a transformation of energy solutions within the industry.
