Joint statement – Merging energy labels across a set of cooling and heating products will increase energy savings
Merging the energy label of all heating and cooling appliances with the same main local functionality will contribute significantly to achieving the decarbonization of heating and cooling in EU buildings, ECOS, EHPA, EPEE, and EEB say in a joint statement.
The European Commission proposes gathering all heating and cooling appliances with the same main local functionality under one merged energy label. The scope of a new Regulation will include local space heaters and air conditioners (previously under two separate regulations), along with comfort fans and electric heaters, which will be regulated by the EU for the first time.
EHPA, EPEE, ECOS, and EEB support the Commission’s proposal and believe that this step will contribute significantly to achieving the decarbonization of heating and cooling in EU buildings. A common label will effectively guide consumers to the most energy-efficient appliances and steer the market toward technology development, unlocking the highest energy and GHG savings for these product categories.
