Abstract: Abstract It is important to reduce energy consumption intensity and to improve the energy consumption efficiency in the low carbon economy development. Most scholars decomposed and analyzed industrial energy consumption intensity from the economic structure and the departmental energy efficiency. In this paper the impact on energy consumption efficiency was analyzed from the perspective of technical factors of social economic entities. The empirical results show that: (1) To increase energy efficiency, those methods like fiscal spending and related policy support adopted by the government are not obviously effective, and maybe further research should be done on its mechanism; (2) Market demand, public awareness, enterprise initiative and effectiveness on the energy saving help to improve energy efficiency; In view of these, more practical and reference value could be achieved with resort to the study on how to improve industrial energy consumption efficiency from these angles.
