To make
National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation more efficient, Ministry
of Construction has co-operated with Japan International Cooperation Agency
(JICA) and Ministry of Industry and Trade to complete the Master plan for
the road-map to energy conservation of
Various
bodies in construction have set up energy saving systems in buildings under the
Research and Cooperation Program in accordance with protocols with other
countries, for instance, cooperation with
One typical
example is Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation, one of biggest energy consumers.
This corporation, in cooperation with energy saving counselors has demanded its
branches to invest on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM); in detail, these
actions include applying many technologies, improving production, using heat
from furnace’s emission and reducing energy consumption.
Bringing
these solutions to practice would reduce greenhouse effect and cost; improve
competitive power and getting a huge amount of foreign currency from selling emission
certificates.
Using heat from emission plan is now undergoing in 6 member companies of Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation. Some even take bigger steps when applying more technologies, for example using inverters in high capacity electric fans in saving energy, using lower-quality powdered coal , etc. Some construction companies even use heat from furnace’s emission to dry wooden products, hence reducing greenhouse emission.
Besides the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation, the Ministry of Construction has published the Program on Energy and Resource Efficiency of the Construction Industry, period 2008-2015.
