【 摘 要 】

Heating energy consumption in China is continually increasing because of the rapid urbanization and accompanied rising living standards. A panoptic description of China's current heating status is still in need of developing effective heating policies. In this paper, heating policy in China was introduced and a brief summary of the status of heating in different parts of China was described, the key features were characterized. Then, current and foreseen challenges for China's heating energy use were analyzed. Finally, related policy suggestions were proposed and the future possibilities of heating energy-conservation in China were discussed.
