Energy Labelling of Domestic Appliances

Overview
The energy demand in
households accounts for 25% of the final energy needs in the EU. Electricity
used for domestic appliances in households show the sharpest increase.
Higher standards of living and comfort, multiple purchases of electric
appliances and the growing need for air-conditioning are main reasons for this
trend to prevail. Energy consumption by consumer electronics and new media as
Internet is also steadily growing.
The response is to act in
two complementary ways:
-
Energy
Labelling of household appliances:
Seen that the
market of household appliances such as washing machines, dishwasher, oven,
air-conditioning systems etc. are highly visible to the consumer, the
intention is to increase consumer’s awareness on the real energy use of
household appliances through a liable and clear labelling in their sales
points.
-
Minimum Efficiency
Requirements:
Compulsory minimum efficiency requirements will encourage producers of
household appliances to improve the product design in view to lower the energy
consumption at their use.
