(London.CityRegions.com, April 24, 2013 ) England, UK -- There are now new efficiency standards for all European boilers, and that could deliver energy savings equivalent to 10% of Europe's energy consumption by the end of the decade, while savings millions on energy bills.
The standards are set to be enshrined into the Ecodesign Directive and cover all minimum requirements for boilers and water heaters alike. There are also new labeling systems that will create transparency for their lifetime energy savings potential.
According to an Ecofys study, the proper implementation of the EDD would save over 400 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. That figure is “comparable to the impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions expected of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS),” while being far cheaper to implement.
Gas and oil-fired central heating boilers, which currently count for 80% of the market, account for nearly 15% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, and for 17% when broadened to EU emissions.
In 2019, a new A Triple+ category will be introduced for super-efficient boilers, and from that point on, only renewable and co-generation technologies will qualify for the 'A+” label that enables a green-colored tab to be presented.
Stéphane Arditi, senior policy officer for the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), said: "Europe’s energy efficiency targets have received a huge boost". He said the standards "will have a dramatic impact on cutting our carbon emissions and save Europe millions of euros on energy bills.”
Says the EEB, the measure will account for 15% of the EU's 2020 goal of a 20% improvement in energy efficiency as compared to 2005. The Ecodesign Directive will thus account for up to half of the 2020 goal.
Green groups are been showing support for the standard. Arianna Vitali Roscini, the WWF energy conservation policy officer stated it was “one of the efficiency measures that really deliver energy consumption reductions".
