BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

During the Review Period, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) published a “General Report”, pointing out that “after an on-site visit to one of the integrated heating and cooling projects implemented by the Group in 2014, State Councilor Wang Yong spoke highly on the original technology owned by the Group, i.e., the single-well ground source energy collection technology. He asked for great expansion in application of the technology and urged enterprises at the central level to take the lead in putting the technology into use in applicable projects, facilities and buildings, so as to achieve a stronger and more forceful development in ground source energy heating industry.”

During the Review Period, the Group has been improving its technology systems to provide combustion-free heating for buildings and achieve integrated heating and cooling with ground source energy. As a result, the concept of “intelligent heating” turns into reality.

Background of Intelligent Heating

The 21st century commenced with tremendous transformations in traditional heating sector which relies heavily on combustion of fossil energies:

  1. Low efficiency in combustion-based energy utilization led to several breakout of fossil energy crises in the world. As the world’s average energy utilization rate is 50.35%, China’s rate is merely 36.8%. Moreover, excessive burning of fossil energies resulted in serious ecological environment crises (such as smog, acid rain and global warming). These changes compose a pressing force that calls for wider development of intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy.

  2. Energy demand (currently China’s dependency on petrol exceeds 60% and dependency on natural gas exceeds 30%) is further increased by the ever enhancing need of the people for higher living standards especially better living environment (such as heating in winters and cooling in summers). An acute challenge ahead is to satisfy people’s increasing needs with limited energy supply. This challenge stands as a driving force to promote intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy.

  3. Rapid dissemination of big data and internet, together with industrial revolution, development of renewable energies and breakthroughs in new technologies provides generous propelling force to the development of intelligent heating.

04

  1. The four energy revolutions flagged by President Xi (i.e., energy consumption revolution, energy supply revolution, energy technology revolution and energy system revolution) articulate the objectives and directions for energy utilization and development in China.

  2. With industrialized application of the original technology for collection of ground source energy developed by the HYY Company, the ground source energy as a low-grade and renewable energy that widely exists in the world with huge reserves has grown into a substitute energy in providing combustion-free heating for buildings. It therefore manifests an energy revolution in heating sector in the new era.

Definition and Features of Intelligent Heating

Intelligent Heating means an environmental friendly system that can not only provide heating for buildings free of combustion, but also can make responsive adjustment by perceiving surrounding information (such as temperature).

Such “responsive adjustment” features six characteristics:

  1. The system with “responsive adjustment” can provide a comfortable and constant living environment for people by being responsive to perceived changes in surroundings including quality of ground source energy and temperature. Such a comfort level is achieved by an internet-based distributive energy system that relies on big data processing (including ground source energy quality, external temperature, individual preferences, client bases, thermal insulation status of buildings etc) and cloud computing.

  2. With “responsive adjustment”, the system is conservative and highly efficient in energy consumption. Compared with fossil energy fired heating for buildings, such system based on phase change principle combining heat transfer technology to use free ground source energy from the underground for producing heating for buildings at cost of a small amount of electricity to drive compressors and water pumps. Energy utilization rate for heating with the system exceeds 108% and more than 60% of energy consumed by such heating for buildings is renewable.

05

First Quarterly Report 2015

==> picture [420 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

  1. With “responsive adjustment”, the system is low in cost. Such low cost not only gives the system special advantages in times when prices of fossil energy rises or price elasticity to demand lowers, but also entitles the system with relatively low operational cost. In addition, such low cost also means that the system can save additional financial input in energy transportation and storage as needed by fossil energies.

  2. With “responsive adjustment”, the system achieves zero pollution in territories of use by utilizing ground source energy to provide heating for buildings in a combustion free way. Therefore, it can not only create enjoyable living comfort for its users, but also a clean and healthy external environment free from pollutant emissions of CO2, SO2, NOx and VOC etc.

  3. With “responsive adjustment”, the system is supported by sufficient energy supply. Shallow ground source energy is widely contained in sand, soil, rocks and waters in the underground. As a renewable energy, it is widely distributed and easy for exploitation free from any climate constraints. Therefore, shallow ground source energy being truly inexhaustible and renewable provides a solid energy guarantee for “responsive adjustments” of the system.

  4. With “responsive adjustment”, the system is duplicatable. It is because of the ubiquity feature of shallow ground source energy that makes the system duplicatable to provide combustion free heating for buildings. To put it into other words, the system is capable of creating comfort and stable living environment for people in any locality, geology, topography and climate conditions.

Foundation of Intelligent Heating

First of all, intelligent heating is an engineering of decision makers. The Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law and the Renewable Energy Law offer a legislative foundation for intelligent heating for buildings with shallow ground source energy in a combustion-free way.

Decision makers shall formulate macro energy strategy based on observations from three dimensions, namely clean development, energy dependency and energy management. As government is the only entity that can formulate macro energy strategy of a locality or a nation, government is always regarded as the first person responsible for ecological environment protection, and a most powerful decision maker in constructing macro energy development strategy.

The true value of intelligent heating lies in the fact that it satisfies people’s need for comfortable and stable living environment at low cost and low energy consumption and with high efficiency, zero pollution and low energy dependency. In a heating energy system highly dependent on fossil energies, it is impossible to achieve maximum optimization of the above-mentioned three dimensions. Therefore, decision makers are obliged to take advantages of intelligent heating in achieving industrial escalation of heating sector, and in mobilizing broad public participation. Based on existing legislations, and through innovations in energy structures and systems, decision makers can help to push forward revolutions in energy consumption, energy supply, energy technology and energy system by establishing a new energy supply system featuring coexistence of traditional energies and renewable energies while having ground source energy as primary substitute energy for building heating.

Secondly, as the biggest building market in the world, China stands as a solid market foundation for development of intelligent heating for buildings with shallow ground source energy in combustion-free ways.

According to some incomplete statistics, the newly constructed building area in China has increased by 28 billion m[2] during the ten years between 2004 and 2013. Along with steady national economic and social development and taking into account of the rigidity of living demand of people, it is estimated with reservation that in the upcoming five years, the newly constructed building areas will increase by another 10 billion m[2] . Supposing 50% of these newly built areas require heating, and 40% of those with heating needs using shallow ground source energy to achieve intelligent heating, it is predicted that in the upcoming five years, the market for intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy will reach to over 2 billion m[2] .

Moreover, it needs to be pointed out that constantly hiking prices of fossil energies, every enhancing need of the people for better quality lives and intensifying pressure of ecological environment are potential catalysts in promoting development of intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy.

Thirdly, original ground source energy collection technology and mature heat pump technology provide strong technology guarantee for further promotion of intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy.

07

First Quarterly Report 2015

The single well shallow ground source energy collection technology, mature heat pump technology, innocuous elastic fillings together with sufficient supply of ground source energy have made it possible for the Group to develop an interactive concept of product design, elaborate management over system operations, and brand building concept to ensure EMC property service quality. The industrial development modality that relies on renewable ground source energy is formulated and equipped with a complete non-stop service chain that puts quality first throughout every step including design and research, equipments manufacturing, system installation, property management and maintenance services. With a full range of products including large scale distributive HYY Ground Energy Heating and Cooling Station for city level heating services, HYY Ground Energy Heat Pump Environmental System for district level heating needs and convenient heating devices for rural household independent heating needs, the Group has managed to achieve a non-differential full coverage of both urban and rural areas in terms of capacity to provide intelligent heating for buildings with shallow ground source energy.

Fourthly, applications of new technologies such as industrial internet, internet of things and industrial clouds and popularization of some new concepts of industrialization including leading marketing philosophies lay secure foundation for promotion of intelligent heating.

The big data era together with wide popularization of internet provides new development opportunities for combustion-free intelligent heating for buildings:

The emerging industry of integrated heating and cooling with ground source energy is entering into a fast growth track as the concept of intelligent heating is turned into reality with the help from the open and globalized internet, the industrial internet that links person, data and machines, the internet of things that connects all things through information sensing devices and internet and intensifies logistics and management of logistics information; the industrial cloud that contains various industrial software by using computer technology and date processing technology, and new industrialization theories including Idea Marketing led by internet ideology.

During the Review Period, the contract value of new projects for integrated heating and cooling with ground source energy signed by the Group exceeds that of previous year. All of these are intelligent heating projects. It is estimated that with the implementation of these projects, the Group can help to save more than 2,000 tons standard coal and reduce more than 50,000 tons of CO2 in this year.

During the Review Period, the Group’s projects in constructing new industrial park of integrated heating and cooling has been developing smoothly. The Xianyuwan Industrial Park in Dalian achieved steady progress. The Demonstration and Experiencing Centre of 25,000 m[2] that is about complete has been developed into the “Caribbean Retreat Resort” and entrusted to the BTG-Jianguo Group for management and operation. Dalian Ground Energy Heating Service Co., Ltd. (大連地能熱力有限公司), wholly owned by the Group, is engaged in the construction of 900MW distributive HYY Ground Energy Heating and Cooling Station. It has started designing of the energy plan for the station which is expected to be finished by June this year. The franchise project has been approved by local government to use ground source energy to provide heating for 20.4 km[2] .

Joint venture agreements on establishing Hongyuang Ground Energy Heating Devices Technology Co. Ltd. (虹源地能熱寶技術有限公司) and the Hongyuan Ground Energy Heat Pump Technology Co. Ltd. (虹源地能熱泵科技有限公司) were signed in Chengdu during the period by the Group and the Changhong Group. These two joint ventures are aimed to further enrich the heating device series of the Group by engaging in production, research, system integration and marketing of both integrated-type and split-type machines for heating and cooling with ground source energy.

With continuous improvement of business modality and main industrial chain of the Group, the core competitiveness of the Group has achieved further enhancement. It is believed that under the unremitted efforts of the entire operation and management team, the business performance of the Group will attain additional uplift in the upcoming period.
