energiamerkinnällä

Energiamerkinnällä refers to the labeling system used in Finland to indicate the energy efficiency of various products, particularly household appliances and lighting. The system aims to help consumers make informed decisions about the energy consumption and environmental impact of the products they purchase. The labeling is mandatory for a wide range of products, including refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, and lighting fixtures.

The energiamerkinnällä system uses a scale of A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G the least. The label provides information on the product's energy consumption, annual energy cost, and environmental impact. Additionally, it may include other relevant details such as noise levels, water consumption, and product lifespan.

The labeling is regulated by the Finnish Energy Agency and is based on European Union directives. The goal is to promote energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and lower energy costs for consumers. By providing clear and transparent information, energiamerkinnällä helps consumers choose more sustainable and cost-effective products.

The system has been in place since 2005 and has been continuously updated to reflect changes in technology and consumer needs. It plays a crucial role in Finland's efforts to achieve its climate goals and promote a more sustainable energy system.
