Half of building energy loss from doors and windows

Yao Bing, president of the China Building Metal Structure Association, held at the 2013 China Energy-Saving Doors and Windows Industry Development Forum on September 21, said: “The quality of doors and windows determines the success or failure of building energy efficiency. The energy loss through doors and windows accounts for 51% of building energy consumption. Energy-saving doors and windows are the last valves to shut down building energy consumption."

“Let the building be more energy-efficient and make life better.” From September 21st to 23rd, the 2nd China International Door and Window Festival co-hosted by China Construction Metal Structure Association and Hebei Provincial People’s Government was held in Gaobeidian City, Hebei Province, China. The International Window City was held.

For a long time, compared with European developed countries, the market awareness of China's door and window industry is still generally low. The industry upgrade lacks motivation. Doors and windows have become a blind spot in the construction field, especially in the field of building energy conservation. At present, there are about 30,000 doors and windows enterprises in the country, but less than 10 companies are truly capable of producing energy-saving doors and windows. Delegates said that compared to Europe, domestic energy-saving doors and windows are not short of existing technologies and products, and the key lies in economic costs and people’s awareness of windows and doors.
