China is in the period with rapid development and great economics growth.
Unsustainable development made China face the energy crisis and
environmental problems. In the last two decades, over 100 industrial parks
supported by the Chinese central government were built in over 20
provinces. And the number of the industrial parks supported by local
governments (at the level of provinces and cities) is much higher. However,
most of the industrial parks have not been systematically optimized with
considerations of integrated solution with low energy consumption. On the
other hand, since the introduction of the industrial ecology concept by
Frosch and Gallopoulos in 1989, and the apparent success of the Kalundborg
Industrial Symbiosis project, attention to planned eco-industrial park
(EIP) development projects has grown all over the world. Furthermore, there
are a great number of companies producing the solar energy equipment in
China. This project is a feasibility study for the design of an industrial
park with low energy consumption and energy integration between the
manufacturing and residential buildings, which is supported by the Asia Pro
Eco Program that aims to promote sustainable solutions for the environment
between Europe and Asia. In this paper, the situation of EIP development in
the world and China is introduced. By analyzing the EIP development and the
situation of the industrial park in China, the solutions for China to gain
the sustainable development are introduced. As the result, the feasibility
study will focus on solar energy system that will be used in the Himin
Industrial park. In this park, the solar energy is used to provide the
energy for the district heating, hot water and air conditioning in the
residential buildings and the workshops. Furthermore, the photovoltaic
products can provide the electricity for the light in the workshop and the
road lamp. Therefore, as the solar energy replaced the fossil fuel that
provides heat by combustion, the par...
