Reporting to: Internatonal motor system expert team leader

Location: Beijing and other cities where service organisations are located.

Associated sub-contracts:

•  A6 Establish and demonstrate the implementation of optimization design criteria for existing and new motor ???

•  A7 Support for capacity building for motor systems energy conservation service organizations

Background and Organizational Context

The China End-Use Energy Efficiency Project (EUEEP) is designed to support the first phase of a 4-phase, 12-year strategic plan developed by the Chinese government to significantly improve the efficiency of its major end-use sectors, buildings and industry. The project fosters a strategic approach to developing, implementing and enforcing a comprehensive and effective energy conservation policy and regulatory system consistent with the objectives of the Energy Conservation Law of 1998. The project's purpose is the removal of barriers to the widespread application and practice of energy conservation and energy efficiency in the major energy consuming sectors (buildings and industrial) in China . The project activities focus on the industrial and buildings sectors and are supplemented by crosscutting activities that will benefit both sectors.

There are 4 main sub-components in Industrial component (Component A): introduce and demonstrate the concept of energy conservation Agreements in industrial sectors of iron and steel, cement and chemical; develop and promote an energy efficiency design code for the cement industry; promote the energy efficiency of motor system and improve the operation of motor system; develop energy efficiency standards /labeling in the industrial, residential and commercial sectors .

The China motor system market transformation program will establish design criteria, develop labels, enhance capacity of five motor systems service organizations, revise the practices of design institutes and promote the use of improved motor systems in China .

The motor system experts will provide support to the sub-contractors in their specialist domain in the implementation of the program and will work as a member of a team of 10 motor system experts (national and international team leader, 8 national and international motor system experts)
