The purpose of this website is to publicise
the findings from an EC project related to the Eco-design
directive on energy using products (EuP) for Lot 11. This
directive covers the following 4 product categories:
Electric motors 1-150kW
Water pumps (in commercial buildings, drinking water
pumping, food industry, agriculture)
Circulators in buildings
Ventilation fans (non-residential buildings)
This preparatory study
aims to identify and recommend ways to improve the environmental
performance of energy using products throughout their
lifetime at their design phase based on methodology developed
by VHK for the European Commission for Eco-Design of
electricity using products. The information provided
by the study will be used to
prepare
for subsequent phases, including undertaking an impact
assessment on policy options and to prepare a paper for the
consultation of the forum. Those phases are to be carried
out by the European Commission.
This study will identify:
Market characteristics for the products
Relevant environmental aspects of
the products and their technical/economical potential
for improvement
Existing relevant legislation
Self regulation by industry and standards
Needs for standards to be developed
Our approach in undertaking this study is detailed
in this presentation.
The study will require active participation
from stakeholders who are willing to contribute. If you would
like to be involved in the consultaion process, you can do
so through the website and/or participation
at stakeholder meetings.
