ABSTRACT
Energy-saving is an important aspect of sustainable development in China. It affects the realization of China’s sus-
tainable economic development strategy. Cities are important units of the country’s economic development and the
effect of cities’ energy saving work will affect national strategic planning. Urban energy saving policy evaluation
system is an important tool to measure a city’s energy saving work. It can be divided into pre-implementation evalua-
tion, ongoing evaluation and post-implementation evaluation according to the implementation phase of the evaluation.
This paper builds a pre-evaluation index system of urban energy conservation policy using energy saving policy classi-
fication and multi-angle evaluatio n of the integr ated program of National 11 th and 12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Sav-
ing.
Keywords: Energy Conservation; Evaluation Index System
1. Introduction
China’s economic growth rate av er ag ed around 9% in th e
last 3 decades at the cost of rapid consumption of natural
resources and pollution to the environment. This be-
comes to restrict the sustainability of economic growth
[1]. Therefore, the energy-saving emission reduction has
become an important way to adjust the economic struc-
ture. It’s also an important means to realize the transfor-
mation of economic growth mode [2]. Since the city is
the basic unit of national economy, overall economic
transition in China cannot be achieved without city eco-
nomic transformation.
There are quite some domestic and international aca-
demic studies on energy-saving emission reduction poli-
cies. These studies fall into three categories: one is the
basic research in energy-saving emission reduction poli-
cies. These studies are the theoretical core of energy-
saving emission reduction policies, such as Adam
Smith’s resource utility theory, energy-saving emission
reduction policies in the external environment, such as
energy consumption and pollution emissions and the
macroscopic and microscopic field factors. The second
one is the study of energy-saving emission reduction
policies. Researches in this area mainly involve deter-
mining the nature and characteristics of energy-saving
emission reduction policies, etc. The third area focuses
on the evaluation of energy-saving emission reduction
policies. Research content in this area is widespread, but
evaluations are mainly d one after the energy-saving emi-
ssion reduction policies are implemented.
With the advance of China’s energy-saving emission
reduction effort, the cities have established a large num-
ber of energy-saving emission reduction policies. We
need to find scientific evaluation methods to evaluate the
policy system regarding city’s energy-saving emission
reduction. According to th e implementation stag e evalu a-
tion of view, it can be divided into ex-ante evaluation,
evaluation and post-evaluation in the matter. This paper
introduced the idea of ex-ante evaluation, evaluation of
the city’s energy-saving emissio n reduction policies, that
can avoid obstacles in implementing a policy and those
undermines its maneuverability, integ rity, objectivity and
validity due to the introduction of the policy hastily.
Therefore, this paper takes a city as an object and analy-
ses index system of evaluation for energy-saving emis-
sion reduction policies.

Pre-Evaluation Index System Research of Urban Energy-Saving Emission Reduction Policies 87
2. Review of the Literature
There are a lot of academic studies in the area of evalua-
tion on policies though researches on pre-evaluation are
much scarce. Dai min [3] proposed pre-evaluation model
for the information system using uncertain multiple at-
tribute decision making theory. It tries to express the
fuzzy and uncertain of the mind of decision makers
through the definition of linguistic variables. Liang Yun
[4] took the theory of AHP and fuzzy comprehensive
evaluation method from the Balanced Scorecard theory
and studied the pre-evaluation of enterprise information.
Gong Yanbing [5] provided a new idea for the ex-ante
evaluation using fuzzy relative potential model on man-
agement information system.
In the evaluation of energy-saving emission reduction
policies research field, many scholars studied various
aspects and life-cycle of production from both the per-
spective of government and of enterprises. Lin J. [6]
studied the administrative policy of energy saving and
emission reduction and its influence. G. C. Nwaobi [7]
studied the effect of greenhouse gas emission reduction
policies for economic development in Nigeria using dy-
namic CGE model, suggested for energy-saving emission
reduction policies in other countries is presented. Wang
Yanpeng [8] set up our country’s overall energy-saving
emission reduction target system and put forward 39 in-
dexes in five aspects and all of which are quantifiable.
Chu Sha, Chen Lai [9] used the method of variation co-
efficient to evaluate the energy saving and emission re-
duction situation in Anhui Province. Li Hong, Li Xiyun
[10] evaluated the comprehensive effects of energy-sav-
ing emission reduction of coal resource type city using
random simulation angle method for comprehensive
evaluation. Shen Cheng [11] constructed three dimen-
sions system with a total of 15 indicators to study the
enterprise energy-saving emission reduction effect from
the perspective of resources and environment. Liu
Yuanming [12] proposed the construction of a evaluation
system in six categories of a total of 27 indicators in en-
ergy consumption index, index of pollutant emission
reduction, ecological protection index which gave a com-
prehensive evaluation of energy saving and emission
reduction of coal enterprises. Chen Wen [13] evaluated
performance of provincial industrial energy conservation
and emission reduction in China using the TOPSIS com-
prehensive evaluation method, a new evaluation method.
Duan Wanchun [14] presented a model that evaluated the
performance of energy-saving emission reduction of tele-
com enterprises using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.
Throughout all these domestic and international re-
searches on evaluation, most of them concentrated in the
evaluation of energy-saving emission reduction situation
level. We hardly see any research that uses city as object
of study and with a focus on pre-evaluation on energy-
saving emission reduction po licy sy stem.
3. To Establish the Evaluation Space
There are multiple-dimension effects of city energy-
saving emission reduction policies such as en vironmental
protection, industrial restructuring, economic growth,
social stability, sustainable development etc. It is not
sufficient if we take just one dimension to evaluate en-
ergy-saving emission reduction policies. For example,
evaluation simply from the environmental point of view—
no matter how strong a policy is on environmental pro-
tection, if the policy restricts economic growth, it cannot
support economic sustainable growth. Simply focus on
economic growth, do not pay attention to energy saving
and environmental protection, economic growth will be
tied down; Even if th e policy effect on energy saving an d
environmental protection, economic growth, but if the
transformation, industrial upgrading has little effect on
the technology, which can make economic growth
gradually slow, energy saving and environmental protec-
tion without relying on; On the contrary, only attach im-
portance to energy security, laying the foundation for
sustainable development, ignoring the existing economic
growth, it may has great staying power, but economic
support to its advantag e fully, there are questions. There-
fore, how to evaluate the energy-saving emission reduc-
tion policies from multiple d imensions is a prob lem to be
studied. This paper attempts to evaluate the system en-
ergy-saving emission reduction policies for the city by
building a multi-dimensiona l evaluation space.
To establish the evaluation space need to find the right
dimensions, this paper intends to construct three dimen-
sions that can reflect the characteristics of the energy-
saving emission reduction policies, economic growth,
structural adjustment, innovation and development, and
construct the spatial dimensi ons of the evaluatio n and the
establishment of the city’s energy-saving emission re-
duction policies. Three evaluation dimensions for ideas
as shown in Figure 1.
The first step: This research collect 2007-2012 years
more than 80 articles about energy saving and emission
reduction in an academic paper through the keyword
“energy-saving emission reduction policy research” and
“energy-saving emission reduction evaluation”.

and evaluation system of policy documents, the research
contents were collected according to the analysis of five
aspects of author, title, year, literature and evaluation
dimensions rel a t ed cont ent, dimensi on.
The third step: according to the second step organize
content, choice involves a broader, more pervasive
evaluation dimensions of integration, can be summarized
as the three dimensions of economic growth, structural
adjustment, innovation development.
According to the literature on the three dimensions of
meaning, the descriptions are as follows:
First, economic growth evaluation dimension refers to
energy-saving emission reduction policies in the city
within the scope of certain time and area, will promote
the sustained increase of per capita production.
Second, structural adjustment evaluation dimension
refers to whether the energy-saving emission reduction
policies influence on city energy production, consump-
tion structure and industrial mode.
Third, innovation development evaluation dimension
refers to energy-saving emission reduction policies of
city management, innovation management method, or to
the technology, the application process to produce inno-
vative.
Therefore, this paper uses the economic growth, struc-
tural adjustment, innovation and development of the
three dimensions o f space.
4. Design of the Evaluation Indexing System
4.1. Constructing Thinking of the Evaluation
Indexing System
Because the city is an important basic unit of national
economic development, the introduction of the various
energy-saving emission reduction policies should be
formulated in the national energy-saving emission reduc-
tion policy guidance. The representation of national en-
ergy-saving emission redu ction policy is the 11th & 12th
Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduc-
tion by State Council. Therefore, this paper will design
the evaluation indexing system with the 11th & 12th
Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduc-
tion by State Council. Specific design ideas as shown in
Figure 2.
Step 1: To analysis the 11th & 12th Five-Year Plan for
Energy Saving and Emission Reduction issued by State
Council. It’s a wide range is very wide in a Integrated
view, involving energy-saving emission reduction targets,
fiscal support, the adjustment of industrial structure,
many aspects of the development of circular economy.
The whole analysis process in addition to the adjustment
of industrial structure, vigorously develop the circular
economy, has obvious classification features, such as

saving energy and reducing class row, covering the im-
plementation of key projects, strengthening of industrial
energy-saving emission reduction, etc. This paper sum-
marized the whole content, ultimately determine energy-
saving emission reduction policies corresponding city
into seven categories, specifically: the adjustment of in-
dustrial structure, production and life of energy-saving
emission reduction, development of circular economy,
development and application of new technology, eco-
nomic support, market mechanism is established and the
whole society to participate in action.
Step 2: Research and analysis each kind of specific
work contents, Sum up the index evaluation of each kind
of specific work content. To adjust the industrial struc-
ture as an example, through the study of China’s en ergy-
saving emission reduction program of work plan on the
adjustment and optimization of industrial structure in
terms of content, such as: sort out the effect of high en-
ergy consumption, high emission industries excessive
growth, adjusting the energy structure, and the details of
the sort merge, finally get the evaluation index and its
comprehensive coverage of the content of the content, in
particular: advanced technology, traditional energy de-
velopment, the development of emerging industries,
strict control of service industry in new projects, the de-
velopment of renewable energy, development, backward
production capacity, to establish the responsibility sys-
tem of the project out of a total of 8 indexes.
Step 3: The research content and the meaning of each
index, to determine the dimensions of each indicator. The

industrial structure adjustment indexes—for example, the
advanced technology of index is an indicator on the ex-
pansion of production capacity, reduce energy consump-
tion and reduce emissions. The introduction of advanced
technology leads to enhanced productivity and it pro-
motes economic growth. From the general situation
which belongs to the economic growth dimension. Strict
control of new projects is a pointer to the high energy
consumption, high emission projects. Whether or not
bring much economic benefits, always calls for strict
examination and approval. So the nature of such indica-
tor belongs to the structure adjustment dimension ac-
cording to its essence.
Step 4: Finishing all the indicators, the evaluation in-
dex to each kind of policy to economic growth, structural
adjustment, innovation and development of the three
dimensions, and finally finishing the formation of the
city’s energy-saving emission reduction policy evalua-
tion index system.
4.2. Design of the Evaluation Indexing System
According to the idea of constructing the evaluation in-
dex is introduced, this paper constructs the seven catego-
ries, three-dimensional city energy-saving emission re-
duction policy evaluation index system, a total of 61
items, the following are introd uced in detail to each kind
of policy.
1) Policies targeted on industrial structural adjustment:
Policies targeted on industrial structural adjustment
focus on adoption of new technology, improving effi-
cient resource consumption in production to achieve en-
ergy saving and pollution reduction and promote trans-
formation in economic growth. They include those that
control expansion of industry with high energy consump-
tion and high prolusion, eliminate outdated industrial
capacity and those related to adjustment of energy struc-
ture etc. in the 11th & 12th Five-Year Plan for Energy
Saving and Emission Reduction issued by State Council.
These 8 industrial structural adjustment policies fall on
all three dimensions. They are listed in Table 1.
2) Manufacturing operation and consumer activity in-
dicators:
Indicators in the area of manufacturing operations and
consumer activities cover those in manufacturing, agri-
culture, construction, transportation. These are the major
areas to achieve goals in energy conservation and emis-
sion reduction and thus have more related policies, ac-
cording to the Energy Saving and Emission Reduction
issued by State Council. In this research we have the
elimination of old agricultural implements, organic agri-
culture development, etc, altogether 17 indicators through
3 dimensions that described in Table 2.
3) Indicators in cyclic economic growth:
Indicators for cyclic economy refers to those polices
that realize economy growth through utilization of sus-
tainable resources in manufacturing, consumption and
resource investment. Accord ing to the 11th & 12th Five-
Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction
issued by State Council, comprehensive indicators in-
clude implementation of major cyclic economic projects,

ergy saving and emission reduction: Industrial structural
adjustment; Manufacturing operation and consumer ac-
tivity; Cyclic economic growth; Those that are for new
technology development and application; Financial sup-
port policy; Those that establish a market mechanism;
The whole society to participate in actions. And this pa-
per established the index system of city energy-saving
emission reduction policy evaluation, altogether 61 indi-
cators.
There are deficiencies in this paper: because pre-
evaluation and post-evaluation are different, post-evalua-
tion is constructed by effect of policy implementation
index and evaluated by result data. But pre-evaluation
index system should reveal the authoritative, the opera-
tional policy, comprehensive, systematic, objective and
rational of policy. When the index system of city energy-
saving emission reduction policies was built, we based
on the 11th & 12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving
and Emission Reduction issued by the State Council, but
it isn’t the whole. The range is narrow, and it should have
some omissive aspects.
In this paper, the city energy-saving emission reduc-
tion policy index data should be assigned through vari-
ous policies frequency, issued department authority level,
city policy degree of subdivision, short and long term
policy supporting of several typical cities. This needs to
find the city in accordance with the index system of the
corresponding policies, and summarize and classify. This
is a systematic analysis and comparison process, and it
will be further expanded in the follow-up study.
