== Summary ==
Tianjin is one of the most successful Chinese cities in compliance enforcement of building energy efficiency codes (BEECs).  Results of recent annual national inspections organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development (MoHURD) indicate that compliance of BEECs in new residential and commercial buildings in Tianjin is close to 100 percent, compared to the 80 percent average across nearly three dozen large cities inspected by MoHURD in 2008.  More remarkable is the fact that, in terms of building envelope thermal integrity, the currently enforced residential BEEC in Tianjin (identified as DB29-1-2007) is 30 percent more stringent than what is required by the pertinent national BEEC (identified as JGJ 26-95).
