EPEE and EHPA welcome single energy label for heaters

The European Heat Pump Association and the European Partnership for Energy and the Environment have welcomed the single energy label for heaters agreed at a recent stakeholder consultation organised by the European Commission's DG Energy.
They said: 'The outcome of the meeting made it clear that the majority of the stakeholders is in favour of maintaining the current proposal, establishing a single, technologically-neutral energy label for heaters.'

The current proposal suggests setting up a single energy label scheme for all heat generators placed on the EU market.

EPEE and EHPA believe such a single energy label to be the way to go if the EU wants to achieve its energy savings targets.

EHPA secretary general Thomas Nowak and Andrea Voigt, EPEE's director general, said in a joint statement: 'The single energy label will provide transparency, and by consequence, support the consumers in choosing the most appropriate solution to heat their homes. It will also create an incentive mechanism for the uptake of the most energy efficient heating systems, including renewable energy technologies, and will enable a clear differentiation between products on the EU market.

'Together with the future Ecodesign implementing measure on heaters (ENER Lot 1), the energy label for heaters has the potential to contribute to substantial energy and CO2 savings, as well as significant energy bills savings for EU citizens.1 With the uptake of renewable technologies, such as heat pumps, the energy label will also contribute in maintaining and creating jobs and manufacturing in Europe.'
