How to understand the limit for compliance of 8% tolerance? Detailed information and training to installers and local authorities is needed to ensure the correct use of B1 boilers 14 Agenda 1 Vaillant Group 2 General remarks 3 Verification of ErP conformity 4 Energy Labelling 5 recommendations 15 Energy Labelling LOT 1+2 LOT 1: Hydronic heat generators boilers Gas, oil, Electric CHP Gas, Oil Heat Pumps Gas, Electric LT Heat Pumps Gas, Electric LOT 2: water heaters Water heaters Gas, Oil, Electric SolarWater heaters DHW Heat Pumps DHW cylinders buffer tanks Combi boiler Gas,Oil Combi- HP Gas, Electric Energy Labels Missing Energy Labels for existing products • mCHP Combi boilers • low temperature Combi Heat pumps • Hybrid appliances, other than boiler + integrated Heat Pump • Package Label for condensing boiler + solar collector + DHW cylinder Which energy label shall be used for these kind of heat generators? clarification in the Implementing Guideline would be helpful to avoid misuse 17 Energy Labelling Open questions 1st tier Sep 2015 2nd tier Sep 2019 • Pre-labelling on ISH (March 2015)? A++ - G A+++ - D • use of the 2nd tier (A+++) before 2019 allowed? • Obligation to use the label on B2B fairs? • Obligation to declare the efficiency class in energy related information - what is the definition of energy related? • obligation also to comunicate the label in B2B price lists? • where to find precise information about the climatic zones (Heat Pump, Solar)? • etc. The Implementing Guideline should clarify open the questions to avoid misuse and mistakes Package Label Label – LOT 1 Components of packages Products with Energy Label Cascade boiler control CHP Gas boiler Combi boiler Compact boiler Square Heat Pump Electric / Gas Additional (Hybrid) Heat Pump buffer tank Oil boiler Additional boiler Gas / Oil / Electric Solar collector Pakage Label high number of possible package combinations – each package has to be calculated individually – market survaillance seems to be a challenge Agenda 1 Vaillant Group 2 General remarks 3 Verification of ErP conformity 4 Energy Labelling 5 recommendations 20 Recommendations for the market surveillance • Strengthen the legal status of the Commission Communication as base for test and calulation • scope extension of the BED (3rd party verification) would simplify the market surveillance (medium term) • after final methods are defined, manufacturers could support the authorities with product related reference lists • clarification of practical questions of labelling in the Implementing Guideline (FAQ list of EHI available) • collaboration with national installer associations and local authorities, especially with regard to the implementation of the package label and the correct use of B1 boilers 21 Thank you for your attention!
