ABSTRACT

In advocating for achieving the Double Carbon Goal, energy performance contracting has become an important policy tool and played a key role in China. Although the proportion of using energy performance contracting has increased in recent years with the strong support of the central policy, compared with other countries, the projects in China are still concentrated in the private sector, and the potential for energy conservation in the public sector needs to be further released. Based on the perspective of public sector, we use the visualization analysis software—CiteSpace to analyze literature collected from databases in recent forty years by applying bibliometrics analysis. By using the relevant literature from 1980 to 2020 as the source of Chinese and English literature and drawing various types of knowledge maps such as collaboration network, co-occurrence network, citation network and co-citation network, this study scientifically reveals and uncovers potential or implied relationships and knowledge by mapping the basic information of related literature with large-scale statistics and analysis. This paper summarizes the current research from the perspective of the number of publications, research countries, research institutions and research areas, as well as puts forward suggestions on optimizing and promoting China's energy performance contracting in the future.
