European ecodesign regulations

CIAT: Responsible thinking Designing products and solutions with a lesser impact on the environment and smaller energy consumption lies at the heart of CIAT’s long standing engagement for sustainable development, in keeping with the European climate and energy package objectives for 2030. Energy efficiency improvement Share of renewable energy The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) market is primarily concerned by this energy efficiency improvement policy. Water Heating Overall energy consumption Building energy consumption A directive has been developped by the European Union in...

Ecodesign regulations The latest European regulations apply to chillers in comfort and industrial process cooling applications, and to heat pumps. Regulation 2016/2281 sets new energy efficiency requirements for chillers of up to 2000 kW used in air conditioning applications for comfort cooling. It comes into force in January 2018. This regulation also sets new energy efficiency requirements for industrial process cooling chillers of up to 2000 kW with a positive leaving water temperature. Regulation 2015/1095 introduces increased energy efficiency requirements for industrial process cooling...

COMFORT COOLING Ecodesign regulation 2016/2281 sets minimum efficiency levels for chillers rated up to 2000 kW with a leaving water temperature equal to or greater than 2°C. it covers units used in air conditioning applications to ensure temperature comfort in buildings used by humans. these are divided into two sub-categories based on chilled water temperature: Low temperature chillers supplying chilled water to fan coil or air handling units (efficiency calculated at 12/7°C entering/leaving temperature). Medium temperature chillers supplying chilled water, for instance to cooling floors or...

INDUSTRIAL PROCESSTwo Ecodesign regulations set efficiency requirements for industrial process cooling applications such as data centers, agrifood or pharmaceuticals. SEPR - seasonal energy performance Ratio sepR measures the seasonal energy efficiency of process chillers by calculating the ratio between annual cooling demand and annual energy input. it takes into account the energy efficiency achieved at each outdoor temperature of an average climate weighted by the number of hours observed for each of these temperatures. sepR is a new way of measuring the true energy efficiency of chillers...

Space heating Ecodesign regulation 813/2013 sets minimum energy efficiency levels for air- and water-to-water heat pumps rated up to 400 kW. It relates to units used for space heating only and to combination heaters that also supply hot water, and covers two sub-categories based on leaving water temperature: medium temperature and low temperature. SCOP – Seasonal Coefficient of Performance SCOP measures the seasonal energy efficiency of heat pumps by calculating the ratio between annual heating demand and annual energy input. It takes into account the energy efficiency achieved at each outdoor...
