Now, China firmly opposes the backward concept of development after governance. It pays more attention to the development of economy on the basis of environmental protection and promotes the sustainable development of economy. However, environmental protection is not a one-day effort, but a long-term process. Good environmental engineering technical specifications are more effective in improving pollution in various fields. Therefore, enterprises should increase efforts to protect the environment, and it will be implemented in energy conservation and emission reduction. Based on this, this paper focuses on the analysis of the role and impact of environmental engineering technical specifications in energy conservation and emission reduction, to lay a foundation for environmental protection of related projects.展开更多
