Abstract: The energy assessment of public buildings is currently emerging as an imperative of the Chinese government. However, in setting the overall control targets for entire regions, effective and specific energy consumption quotas (ECQs) for individual buildings are not specified. In this paper, in an effort to meet the energy conservation targets of the 12th Five-Year Plan, new methods for establishing target-oriented and equitable ECQs are proposed and applied in the assessment of a particular group of government office buildings in Beijing. The respective annual ECQs for electricity and gas were established for each building, and a corresponding year-end assessment was conducted. The core concept of the methods could be applied to other types of buildings and this concept could therefore provide important guidance for future policymaking.
