See Annex 9: Economic and Financial Analysis (Incremental Cost Analysis)
The incremental cost analysis was carried out for a projected 6 billion m2 of net growth in the urban residential building stock and associated heating systems in the cold and severe cold regions between 2004 and 2024.
Under the baseline/business-as-usual scenario, improvements in the three key areas of the residential space heating “chain” will be very slow and limited in scale and scope, i.e.: (i)market penetration of ore energy-efficient new residential buildings will occur very gradually, (ii)heat metering, consumer heat controls, and consumption-based billing will be introduced at a very modest pace; and (iii)a relatively small proportion of the huge and growing stock of residential building heat supply systems will adopt modem demand-driven operation and technologies.
