Effect of building energy efficiency standards on carbon emission efficiency in commercial buildings

扫码查看
The building sector plays a crucial role in the worldwide shift toward achieving net-zero emissions.Building energy efficiency standards(BEESs)are highly effective policies for reducing carbon emissions.Therefore,ex-ploring the provincial variations in carbon emission efficiency(CEE)in the building sector and identifying the effect of BEESs on CEE is crucial.This study focuses on commercial buildings in China and applies a difference in differences model to evaluate the impact of BEESs on the CEE of commercial buildings.The slacks-based measure-data envelopment analysis model is employed to assess the CEE of commercial buildings in 30 Chi-nese provinces from 2000 to 2019.Furthermore,heterogeneous tests are used to explore how climate charac-teristics and economic conditions affect the efficiency of BEESs.The results indicate that BEESs positively in-fluence the CEE of commercial buildings.Specifically,a 1%increase in the intensity of BEESs causes a 0.148 4%increase in the CEE of commercial buildings.Moreover,the impact of BEESs is particularly pro-nounced in the southern and western provinces.This study provides valuable scientific evidence for govern-ments to enhance BEESs implementation.
