Energy efficiency is the main topic on the minds of both electric space heating manufacturers and installers, as well as architects and engineers that specify these products and the final consumer. When you consider that in EU households, heating and hot water alone account for 79% of total final energy use, you begin to understand that these products generate an environmental impact that we all want to reduce.
With so much energy used across the continent, it´s not surprising to see new regulations in force to ensure manufacturers comply with the same set of rules to achieve a common objective: a reduction in energy consumption.
