ErP -THE NEXT CHAPTER IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY

摘要

As part of the European Union's commitment to reduce carbon emissions, September's introduction of the ErP Directive means manufacturers and, consequently, installers of all energy consuming products will have to adhere to a new set of minimum requirements. The manner of the Directive's introduction means that energy related products -including commercial fossil fuel boilers rated with a 70kW to 400kW output - fall into the qualifying category, Lot 1. With the Directive prescribing significant improvements in boiler efficiency levels, it effectively rules out the installation of all non-condensing boilers up to 400kW from the market. This will, without doubt, have a huge impact on the commercial boiler market.
