The main fields of the published actions within this IEE project are efficient appliances. Each partner chooses sectors and examples based on a national/regional focus according to the discussion about the national/regional experiences.
For that, we will present the different national experiences and good practice examples in English and the national language of countries involved in this IEE project.
- Information Technologies (IT) including PCs, monitors, printers, fax machines etc. as defined in the European Energy-Star-programme
- Household appliances purchased e.g. by housing companies, purchasing groups or gas/electricity utilities (as defined in the EU label Directive)
- These focus areas are completed by the following fields, for which in an adequate manner also energy labels exist, so that the general procedure of the main focus can be extended to totally other product groups:
- Lighting in fields, in which energy or quality labels exists, which are mainly energy saving bulbs
