Position paper – Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Requirements for Space and Water Heaters
ECOS, alongside the Coolproducts campaign and the EEB, has published a new position paper: Comments on the Regulations about Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Requirements for Space and Water Heaters. We suggest some modifications to strengthen the environmental impact of these rules.
We welcome the European Commission ecodesign and energy labelling proposals for space and water heaters and propose a few modifications, namely:
- Increase the energy efficiency requirement in ecodesign for space heating by 115%, no later than 2027, with no exemptions to be addressed.
- Tighten the requirements for ‘stand-alone’ fossil fuel boilers, hybrid units (gas boilers and heat pumps) and electric heat pumps, in Tier 1 and Tier 2.
- Introduce the compensation method as standard measurement for heat pumps.
- Add requirements on material efficiency and repairability.
