Shanghai building energy-saving public places
A total of 1,500 public places in Shanghai, including schools and hospitals, will be equipped with energy-savings management systems by 2015, to help the buildings become more power-efficient.
The move is part of Shanghai's larger goals to cut power consumption, after 30 percent of the city's buildings failed to meet targets last year.
So far, the management systems, which help energy consumers gauge where power can be saved, have been installed at 600 public places around town.
"They provide a clearer picture of how electricity is being used and a more detailed breakdown of the costs involved, which helps pinpoint where power is being wasted.
The measure also follows other energy-savings initiatives introduced in the city in recent years, including a plan to reduce energy consumption target for public buildings by 4 percent annually.
Many hospitals and schools, however, failed to achieve the goal last year, reducing power consumption by only 1.65 percent and 0.81-percent.
Local authorities plan to work more closely with them this year to see that they meet targets.
