・Chu Announces Joint U.S.-China Building Efficiency MOU

" After touring the ”America House,” a U.S. designed demonstration of cutting edge ”zero energy” building technology, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced a new agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Chinese Ministry of Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) to foster collaboration and partnership in the development of improved, more efficient building designs as well as sustainable communities that rely on greater use of renewable energy.

”Making buildings more efficient represents one of the greatest, and most immediate opportunities we have to create jobs, save money, save energy and reduce carbon pollution," said Secretary Chu. ”Our goal should be buildings that are 80 percent more efficient. Doing so will save families money and create millions of jobs in both countries.”
