The information on energy efficiency labels helps you choose an appliance with lower running costs - this is what you need to know before you buy.
Why are energy labels changing? First introduced 20 years ago, energy labels awarded a product with an A for high efficiency, or an F for low efficiency and encouraged manufacturers to drive innovation by using more energy efficient technologies. Over time, the scheme evolved and labels of A+...
First introduced 20 years ago, energy labels awarded a product with an A for high efficiency, or an F for low efficiency and encouraged manufacturers to drive innovation by using more energy efficient technologies. Over time, the scheme evolved and labels of A+, A++ and A+++ were added, ...
The theory behind this is easily explained: the less energy an appliance requires for its operations, the higher its energy efficiency. If something is energy-efficient, it is also economical – because it saves resources such as electricity, fuel or heat by making optimum use of energy and re...
This is due to the fact that only half of the total energy savings associated with energy efficiency progress, as derived from top-down analysis, can be explained with energy efficiency policy impacts as other cantonal programmes and energy policies had not been evaluated and hence could not be...
(HAs)1that account for approximately 40% of noncooking household electricity consumption2,3. To improve energy efficiency and energy-saving management, energy efficiency labels (EELs) for WGs were gradually introduced in the 2000s4. EELs provide information on the energy efficiency grade (EEG), an...
There are some energy efficiency policy measures, which may have the unintended effect to encourage larger energy consumption. For example some equipment energy labels (an indicators of the efficiency for consumers) may be more favourable to larger equipment as these tend to be more efficient for ...
Energy labels for electric household appliances are implemented worldwide to help the consumer to make an energy-efficient choice when buying a new household appliance. A study on washing machines, for example, showed that the energy and water efficiency are the most important aspects for European ...

Photovoltaic self-consumption has many benefits such as the improvement in the efficiency of the energy system by avoiding transport losses, the reduction of the stress on the electricity distribution grid, a possible reduction of energy prices in the wholesale market, or a reduction in the volume...
