Abstract
This paper is to evaluate the economic performance and the environmental performance of an industrial park in China based on the concept and measurement methods of “Eco-efficiency” by using Emergy analysis. And the methodology is applied to a case study of an industrial park located in Dalian. The results show that Emergy analysis is practical in evaluating the Eco-Industrial Park.
