Abstract :
Chinese household energy consumption is growing fast with the steady rapid growth of economy, the constant increasing residents´ income and the promotion of urbanization process. China has been actively developing and introducing the household energy practical technologies, which not only improves the energy efficiency and renewable energy utilization, but also reduces the household energy consumption. Meanwhile, the residents´ life quality keeps rising. Firstly, this paper introduces the present situation of the development of Chinese household practical energy technologies--solar energy utilization technologies including solar water heater, solar energy lighting (PV), and solar stoves, and green lighting technologies like energy saving lamps (CFL). Then it further studies the working principles, applicable conditions, the status quo and problems in China of the typical household energy practical technologies: Finally, it makes some suggestions such as strengthening the policy support in household energy practical technology, fully utilizing international mechanism, for example, CDM or other market mechanisms, enlarging the financing channel for household energy practical technologies promotion, and deepening the international cooperation in the field of household energy practical technology.
