energiatõhususklassid

Energiatõhususklassid is a system used in the European Union to rate the energy efficiency of products and buildings. It provides a standardized way for consumers to understand how much energy a product or building consumes and to compare different options. The classification system ranges from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least efficient.

For appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions, energy labels clearly display the energy efficiency class. This label helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions, potentially leading to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. Products in higher energy efficiency classes consume less electricity or other forms of energy for the same performance.

In the context of buildings, energiatõhususklassid are determined by an energy performance certificate. This certificate assesses various factors, including insulation, heating and cooling systems, ventilation, and lighting. A building's energy efficiency class indicates its overall energy demand and its potential carbon footprint. This information is crucial for homeowners, buyers, and tenants, influencing property value and renovation decisions. The aim is to encourage the construction and renovation of more energy-efficient buildings, contributing to climate goals and reducing energy consumption across the EU.
