What is an energy efficient or low energy product?
Low energy products are normally high efficiency versions of conventional products. As low energy products they either directly consume less energy or deliver an energy saving by reducing the energy use of other energy consuming devices. Examples include, low energy light bulbs, CHP or building control systems. Many products will soon be subject to new regulations covering the Energy Use by Products. This will set energy parameters, which will improve overall energy consumption. Most of us are already familiar with energy rating on light bulbs, fridges and cars. This directive will effectively extend the scope of products being rated.
