A brief history of EU product efficiency policy• 1st Energy labelling frameworkdirective on household appliances:1979• One implementing directiveon ovens in 1979• FAILED Commission proposals in1980 for impl. directives covering:

– Refrigerators– Washing machines– Dishwashers

• FD requested IMs also on:televisions, tumble dryers, ironingmachines, water heaters.

A brief history of EU productefficiency policy

• 2nd Energy labelling frameworkdirective on household appliances : 1992• Multilingual and modular (backgrounddistributed by industry association, only stripwith class in the box)• Implementing directives:

• Refrigerators 1994• Washing machines 1995• Tumble driers 1995• Washer-driers 1996• Dishwashers 1997• Lamps 1998• Electric ovens 2002• Air-conditioners 2002

5

A brief history of EU product efficiency policyMinimum energy efficiency requirements 1992-2002

• Three independent Council directives: boilers 1992, refrigerators 1996, ballasts for fluorescent lamps2000• 2003 proposal for Ecodesign Framework Directive allowing the establishment for specific and genericecodesign requirements – adoption in 2005• 2009 and 2010: revision of both Framework Directives – extension of scope to energy-related products and B2B products (for labelling)

EnergyEnergy

Ecodesign addresses the supply side; it pushes the marketEnergy Labelling addresses the demand side; it pulls the market

The combined effect of both Directives ensures dynamic improvement of the market

Ecodesign and Energy Labelling: a combined effort

6

EnergyEnergy

Ecodesign (Directive 2009/125/EC)• Setting of mandatory requirements for energy-related products to improve their environmental performance

• Products not meeting these requirements cannot be placed on the market (applies also to imports)• Establishes the framework (conditions, criteria, procedures, etc.)• Legal Basis Article 114 (TFEU): free movement of products within the internal market• Products to be addressed are stipulated in the Ecodesign Working Plan• Basis for any measure is a technical preparatory study (MEErP methodology)

7

EnergyEnergy

Criteria for action• What products?

• Significant volume of sales and trade, indicatively 200.000 units p.a.• Significant environmental impact • Significant potential for improvement in terms of its environmental impact without entailing excessive costs

• No (significant) negative impact on:• Functionality • Health and safety• Affordability• Industry’s Competitiveness

8

EnergyEnergy

Energy Label (Directive 2010/30/EU)• Sets mandatory labelling requirements for energy-related products to enable consumers to make informed choices

• Ranks products according to their energy efficiency on an A to G scale• Once the majority of products in a certain category reach class A, up to three classes (A+/A++/A+++) may be added on top of class A • Displays annual energy consumption or energy consumption per cycle, as well as other impacts: e.g. water consumption, volume of the appliance, etc. • Ecodesign measures are often accompanied by an Energy Label (regulation) mainly for consumer products

Ecodesign for air conditioners• Regulation 206/2012 sets minimum efficiency requirements • Scope: air conditioners with a rated capacity below 12 kW• To promote air conditioners using refrigerants with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), less stringent requirements apply for those using GWP <150 refrigerants• Requirements also on noise and standby consumption• Requirements based on the seasonal efficiency of the product for heating (SCOP) and cooling (SEER)

The label is the same for all AC placed in the EEA, independently of the climate zone or Member State.Right balance between relevant information and level of complexity needs to be found.EE class for average heating season mandatory and voluntary for colder / warmer heating season.The objective of the "map" is providing a perception to consumers on the performance according to location.
