energiatõhususklasside

Energiatõhususklassid are a system used in Europe to classify the energy efficiency of buildings and appliances. For buildings, this classification indicates how much energy a building is expected to consume for heating, cooling, hot water, ventilation, and lighting. The classes range from A, which is the most energy-efficient, to G, which is the least efficient. A higher class signifies lower energy consumption and typically results in lower energy bills and a smaller environmental impact.

The energy performance certificate, which displays the energiatõhususklass, is a mandatory document when a building is constructed, sold, or rented. It provides consumers with a clear and comparable measure of a building's energy performance. Similar energy efficiency labels exist for appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions, also using a scale from A to G (or sometimes A+++ to D in older systems) to denote their energy consumption. This labeling helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions, favoring products that use less electricity. The goal of these classifications is to encourage the development and adoption of more energy-efficient solutions, ultimately contributing to energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
