How ecodesign will make the transition to clean heating happen

On 27 April, stakeholders and national experts will meet at a Consultation Forum that will be crucial in our quest to climate neutrality: EU member states will discuss new ecodesign rules for space and water heaters. In practical terms, raising the energy-efficiency threshold of these appliances could result in a de facto ban on gas and oil boilers, given that they are much less efficient than heat pumps and other renewable-based systems.

The coolest heating: 2023 edition

For the third year in a row, the Coolproducts campaign audited the portfolios of the main manufacturers of domestic heating products who sell their products in Europe. The authors examined publicly available data, as well as manufacturers’ responses to a survey, to rank 72 companies according to the climate-friendliness of their portfolios.

Letter to EU Commission calling for enhanced role of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of heating products to meet the objectives of REPowerEU

In this letter, we call for an enhanced the role of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of heating products to deliver the heat pump rollout and the objectives of REPowerEU. We urge the European Commission to take bold action through the revised Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulations for heating appliances. The legislative tools are already in place; they simply need sufficient strengthening.
