At the 19th Annual Meeting of the Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum, Xiao Yaqing, the director of the SASAC, said about winter heating: “China’s heating is not determined by temperature, but by region. There are no regulations in the south of the Yellow River. From the experience of working in the south, winter in some provinces and cities in the south is not better than in places like Heilongjiang in the north.

He believes that judging from the desires and requirements for people to live a better life, the potential is huge.

"The 19th Annual Meeting of Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum" was held in Yabuli, Heilongjiang on February 16-18, 2019. The theme is: Strengthening Confidence and Meeting Challenges-A New Journey of Reform and Opening-up, Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee Xiao Yaqing attended and gave a speech.

Xiao Yaqing said that China's future development potential is huge, which provides a broad space for various ownership economies to seize new opportunities and achieve new development.

On the other hand, he believes that the high-quality development of our manufacturing industry still has a long way to go, and there is still a lot of room. "China is still the most growing huge market."

He also pointed out that there is still a big gap between China and developed countries in terms of technological innovation, coordinated urban and rural development, and the living standards of residents.

Xiao Yaqing mentioned several figures. For example, there are only 77.7 households out of 100 households with sanitary toilets, and 84.2% have bathing facilities. There are only 33 cars per 100 households, fewer than 110 air conditioners, and just over 120 TV sets. "From these simple indicators, China has huge potential to reach the level of developed countries."

Speaking of heating in winter, the difference between North and South is an inseparable issue. "China's heating is not determined by temperature, but by region. There is no regulated heating in the south of the Yellow River." He believes that from the perspective of these desires and requirements for people to live a better life, this potential is still huge. of.

This speech also caused many netizens to speculate whether the area south of the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains is expected to be included in the central heating area in the future, which made the small partners in the south extremely excited. After all, the winter in some southern provinces is really difficult.

According to current regulations, heating areas in my country are generally North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China where the average temperature is lower than or equal to 5℃ for more than 90 days. The dividing line between north and south is the Qinling-Longhai line, and the northern area is centrally heated. The room temperature standard is 16°C-18°C.

But now the winter in the south has become colder and longer, and the heating problem has become a very urgent reality.

 From the perspective of market demand, heating demand in the south is still on the rise, and the potential is huge. The scattered heating methods of thousands of households in the south have high energy consumption. From the perspective of energy saving and emission reduction, it is necessary to guide moderate centralized heating and cooling in the future.

 The discussion about whether to adopt "central heating" in the south has never stopped.

During the National Two Sessions held on March 5, 2012, Zhang Xiaomei, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in Sichuan, pointed out in the proposal to "Extend Centralized Public Heating from the North to the South" that the traditional Qinling-Huaihe heating line is outdated, and the cold weather in the southern winter is far away. It is harder than the north, and since 2008, the southern region has been experiencing "cold winters" repeatedly, and public heating should be extended to the south.

But the economist Li Ziyang strongly opposes this. He believes that central heating that cannot be measured by households has caused endless social problems and interpersonal conflicts in the north. If it is extended to the less cold south, it will only create more. Troubles and disputes.

He also pointed out whether the South should provide heating in winter. Originally, it was a question of whether southerners were willing to spend money for heating in winter. Now it has become a question of whether the government should pay for southerners to get warm in winter. "As soon as they enter the field of public policy, many people's intelligence immediately degenerates to the level of monkeys."

 In 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development made a formal response to this, stating that when the outdoor temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius, if there is no heating facility, the indoor temperature and comfort are poor in parts of southern my country. Heating facilities should be gradually installed in these areas, and the heating methods are mainly distributed heating.

"Advocate the use of decentralized and local heating methods according to local conditions, and do not advocate the construction of large-scale central heating sources and municipal heating pipe network facilities."

In addition to the economic accounts of each household, the biggest controversy over central heating in the South is energy consumption.

"Nowadays, many families in the south mainly rely on air-conditioning for heating. This heating method consumes a lot of electricity." According to Shen Herong, chief equipment engineer of Wuxi Construction Research Institute, floor heating is relatively economical. The main processes are wet and dry. .

"The wet paving method mainly uses ground-source heat pumps for heating. The characteristic is that the heat is slow and retreats slowly. The monthly cost per 100 square meters is 1200-1500 yuan. The dry paving method mainly uses wall-hung boilers and uses natural gas for heating. The wet paving method saves 40%-50%. If air-conditioning is used, it is 1800-2000 yuan for the same area. Therefore, the energy efficiency ratio of floor heating is higher."

Faced with the rapidly developing heating situation, many southern cities have begun to gradually explore the implementation of central heating.

Some places in Shanghai are actively exploring distributed energy supply. Wuhan, Hubei, launched the "warm in winter and cool in summer" project in 2006, taking central heating as a livelihood project, aiming to solve the problem of central heating for residents by laying a complete urban heating network. Other small and medium-sized cities such as Hubei Huangshi and Jiangxi Jiujiang have also begun to implement combined heat and power central heating projects.
