EU Ecodesign Directive
The European Union’s Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EG provides the framework for establishing
the determination of the EU-wide valid requirements applicable for the product design, with which
the environmental loads and the CO
2
-emission by energy consumption-related products are to be
reduced throughout their total life cycle. The Ecodesign Directive must be implemented in every EU
member state into national law (e.g. in Germany by the Energy consumption relevant products act
(EVPG 2008) or in Austria by the Ecodesign Ordinance (ODV 2007)).

- new energy label from EU-GCAT21v1 inserted (le)
- when creating a new package label (right) for
WH-ADC0309J3E5C+ WH-UD03JE5 using Panaso-
nic’s Label Generator, I still get an old label (year
2015) with energy eiciency class scale A+++ to G
(space and water). Help needed.
13.04.2021, cH
Could not find any newer package label, not even
on websites of other manufacturers. So I le it as
is.

According to this Ecodesign Directive (or ErP Directive - Energy related products), boilers and heat
pumps (among other heat generating devices), hot water tanks and domestic ventilation devices
must fulll product-specic minimum requirements in respect of the energy e󰀩ciency. Moreover,
individual products as well as so called “packages” (e.g. heater plus controls) must be provided
with a product or package energy e󰀩ciency label. Energy e󰀩ciency is calculated according to
uniform criteria and indicated on the label as energy e󰀩ciency class (A+++ to D for space heating,
A+ to F for water heating).
Economical and Environment-Friendly
More than 79 % of the end energy utilisation in the household is used for heating and domestic hot
water production. At the same time, the fuel prices (oil, gas, wooden pellets) are subject to high
price variations and are becoming more and more expensive.
On the other hand, with an Aquarea heat pump, up to 80 % cost-free ambient heat can be used.
Only the remaining component of 20 % power needs to be sourced for the operation of the heat
