Some time ago, the School of Applied Economics of Renmin University of China and the National Institute of Development and Strategy jointly issued the report "The Heating Market of Hundred Cities in the South: Model, Potential and Impact". Researchers from the Development Research Center of the State Council, experts and scholars in the industry, and business representatives all proposed construction Sexual opinions, the call to promote winter heating in the south has revived.

At the results conference and expert seminar, Professor Zhang Bin of Harbin Institute of Technology, director of the Electric Power Heating Committee of China Building Energy Conservation Association, believes that heating in the south should be one city and one policy, and measures to local conditions are the most important. Because different regions have different resource endowments and environmental standards, it is easier to solve the problem through local standards and corporate standards. As long as the developer agrees and the common people accept it, real estate developers will sell it easily after supporting facilities.

For southern heating, the suggestion of Huang Ning, deputy chief engineer of the Technology Center of China State Construction Engineering Corporation, is more targeted. He pointed out that there is currently a lack of unified government planning for heating in the South. Therefore, he believes that it is more feasible to implement distributed heating, and explore how to use renewable energy and combine smart operation to achieve multi-heat source supply and on-demand adjustment.

Of course, southern heating should also comprehensively consider the relationship between southern people's warm winter and consumption reduction and emission reduction. With the rapid increase in heating users and the expansion of the heating market, energy consumption will increase, and environmental governance will also be under further pressure. It must be combined with the national carbon dioxide emission peak in 2030 and the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Implement step by step.

Currently, the choice of heating methods in the south is becoming more and more diversified. For example, in the southern water system, water source heat pumps or ground source heat pumps are more efficient; waste heat recovery in factories and power plants can meet the winter heating needs of a large number of residents; users of wall-hung boilers with geothermal can independently control indoor temperature and intensive energy use. Unlike the planned economy era, southern heating cannot be used across the board. In the past, centralized heating and subsidies were not conducive to social equity. It is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and do everything at the same time. Use heating as a commodity to allow the market to allocate resources and optimize prices.

With the improvement of living standards, household heating equipment has gradually changed from luxury goods to ordinary consumer goods. HVAC professionals believe that the current residential heating ratio in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is less than 5%, and the heating demand potential is huge. According to the current growth trend, household heating equipment will be a large market of more than 10 billion yuan per year. Statistics from the HVAC WeChat circle show that since November, the sales of radiators in southern cities have increased by 300% over the same period last year, and the overall turnover of heating small household appliances has increased by 200% year-on-year.

According to statistics, in 2019, the sales of domestic radiators in my country increased by 430% year-on-year, and the main sources of sales growth were in southern cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Hefei, and Changsha. As the heating area moves to the south and the market grows larger, it provides market opportunities for gas, electricity and other thermal energy supply companies and companies that produce and sell terminal heating equipment and facilities.

A report predicts that a total of 70.06 million residents in southern China will have access to affordable heating services in 2025. Shanghai, Wuhan and Nanjing rank the top three; by 2030, this number will increase to 98.23 million. By then, the consumption of Chinese residents will exceed 100 billion yuan.

At present, some developed cities in the Yangtze River basin, including Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu, have begun to enter the winter heating era. To meet demand, companies must adhere to "market-oriented" and "customer-centric", which is also the current advanced marketing concept.

Whether it is the gradual advancement of the country or the personal wishes of the people, the fact and trend that winter heating is gradually moving south has become more and more clear. In some southern provinces with better economic development, such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places, even if the winter heating time is not long, the common people have begun to develop a new winter heating fashion and feel the beauty of life.

Southern winter heating has now become a mainstream voice. It has gone beyond the stage of "supplying without supply", but has reached the stage of exploring and practicing "how to supply".

And the majority of HVAC industry practitioners and enterprises, whether it is central heating, gas wall-hung boiler, water floor heating, electric boiler, electric floor heating or electric heating, air source heat pump, ground source heat pump, biomass heating, solar heating... .Who can find the right breakthrough first, who can catch the giant wheel of southern heating development first, whoever can become the next industry giant!
