The Eco-Design Directive ErP for AHUs

Abstract:

The European ErP-Directive 2009/125/EG (Energy-related-Products-Directive), also called the Eco-Design Directive, defines the minimal requirements for energy-related products. The objective of the ErP-Directive is the reduction of energy consumption and the CO2-emission rates as well as an increase of the overall share of renewable energies. This directive applies for all products placed on the market within the European Economic Area (EEA). Relevant for the AHUs is the EC-Directive 1253/2014/EG that came into force on November 26th 2014. Within the framework of this directive and as of January 1st 2016, new requirements concerning the energy efficiency of AHUs will apply within the European Economic Area (EEA). The paper analyzes the new requirements for Air Handling Units under ErP Directive and its consequences.
