1 Working Document on a Draft COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No /.. of XXX supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heater and solar-only system (Text with EEA relevance) EN 1 EN

2 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT Grounds for and objectives of the proposal Water heaters and hot water storage tanks are widely used in the European Union for providing hot water for sanitary purposes and storing hot water for sanitary and space heating purposes. Most heaters placed today on the market are conventional water heaters using electricity or gas but new technologies such as heat pumps, small solar water heaters and packages of water heaters and large solar-only systems are rapidly entering the market. The environmental impact of water heaters and hot water storage tanks in the EU is significant, in particular the energy consumption in the use phase, which was estimated to PJ (51 Mtoe) in 2005, corresponding to 124 Mt CO 2 emissions. The aim of this delegated Regulation is to introduce a harmonised scheme for the indication of energy efficiency and energy consumption by labelling and standard product information for the benefit of consumers. The labelling requirements also provide a dynamic incentive for manufacturers to improve energy efficiency and to accelerate the market take-up of energy efficient stand-alone water heaters and hot water storage tanks but also packages of water heaters and solar-only systems. It would complement any possible Commission Regulation implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for water heaters and hot water storage tanks. General context A main reason for the persistent sales of low efficiency water heaters and hot water storage tanks is that end-users base their purchase decisions on purchase costs rather than life cycle cost of the product, a situation which is not helped by the current practice not to fully include environmental costs in energy cost. Also, the information on energy efficiency of the products available to persons buying water heaters and hot water storage tanks is limited, which introduces asymmetrical information. This situation gets even worse if persons intend to combine water heaters with solar-only systems, consisting of several solar collectors, solar storage tanks, solar pumps and further components. Cost-effective improvement potentials for the end-user are therefore often not realised. Another problem are split incentives, where for example a building owner that purchases and installs a water heater, hot water storage tank or solar-only system aims for lower purchase costs, whereby a tenant ends up paying higher energy bills. Furthermore, dealers selling water heaters to the end-user and having in most cases also the role of the installer are lacking standardised information to offer end-users tailor-made packages of a variety of water heating products, placed on the EU market due to the market introduction of renewable technologies. These market barriers should be addressed with this proposal by introducing in the European Union energy labels for stand-alone water heaters and hot water storage tanks and a label for packages of water heaters and solar-only systems. The proposal introduces the widely known A-G scale covering the various types of conventional water heaters and hot water storage EN 2 EN

3 tanks. Additionally, the dynamic top classes A +, A ++ and A +++ will promote the use of renewable energy sources and superinsulated tanks. Standardised product information will be available for the end-user in form of fiches, in the internet and in advertisements. According to the impact assessment, water heaters and hot water storage tanks were responsible for about 3 % of the total gross energy consumption of the EU-27, which is about the annual gross energy consumption of Sweden. The aim of the proposal is to reduce the energy consumption of these appliances. It is estimated that the combined effect of possible new ecodesign requirements and the new labelling scheme set out in this draft delegated Regulation would lead to an annual reduction of about 450 PJ (11 Mtoe) in 2020, corresponding to about 26 Mt CO 2 emissions or the annual gross energy consumption of Lithuania and Cyprus together, compared to a business as usual. Existing provisions in the area of the proposal In addition to a possible Ecodesign implementing measure following measures address the environmental performance of water heaters and hot water storage tanks, although not in the field of energy labelling: Commission Decision 2007/742/EC 1 of 9 November 2007 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to electrically driven, gas driven or gas absorption heat pumps; Directive 2010/31/EU 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings; Directive 2009/28/EC 3 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources; Regulation (EC) No 842/ of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases; Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 626/ of 4 May 2011 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of air conditioners (only air-to-air heat pumps). Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union Increased market take-up of energy-efficient water heaters and hot water storage tanks through the introduction of new energy efficiency classes and possible ecodesign requirements will contribute to achieving the 20 % energy savings potential anticipated by 2020 in the Energy Efficiency Action Plan (COM(2006) 545) and strengthened in the Commission's Communication on Energy 2020 (COM(2010) 639) and Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 (COM(2011) 109) OJ L 301, , p. 14. OJ L 153, , p. 13. OJ L 140, , p. 16. OJ L 161, , p.1. OJ L 178, , p.1. EN 3 EN

4 The proposal will complement the promotion of market take-up of efficient products, which is at the heart of the EU's Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (COM(2010) 2020), as it will improve energy efficiency to a large extent, support the transition to a resource efficient economy, encourage investment in R&D and ensure a level playing field between heating products. The proposed energy labelling of water heaters and hot water storage tanks is also in line with the Commission's industrial policy, in particular the Sustainable Consumption, Production and Industrial Policy Action Plan (COM(2008) 397) and the European Economic Recovery Plan (COM(2008) 800) that mentions energy efficiency as one of the key priorities, such as the promotion of the rapid take-up of products offering a high potential for energy savings. Furthermore, implementation of Directive 2010/30/EU 6 contributes to the EU s objective to attain a reduction in greenhouse gases emissions of at least 20 % in CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT Consultation of interested parties EU and international stakeholders and Member State experts were consulted from the very beginning of the preparatory study, and, together with ecodesign requirements, energy labelling was discussed in the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, which is established under the Ecodesign Framework Directive 2009/125/EC 7. The Consultation Forum is composed of the experts of the Member States and a balanced representation of stakeholders, namely manufacturers, retailers, environmental NGOs and consumer organisations. During the meetings of the Consultation Forum of 29 February 2008, 8 July 2008 and 24/25 June 2009, the Commission services presented working documents suggesting ecodesign requirements and an energy labelling scheme for heaters 8, water heaters and hot water storage tanks. The working documents were also discussed during a meeting of the Ecodesign Regulatory Committee on 11 April All relevant working documents were circulated to the experts and stakeholders, and published in the Commission's CIRCA system alongside the stakeholder comments received in writing. In addition, the initiative was discussed on many occasions at meetings of Commission staff with stakeholders and Member States, but also with international partners as e.g. Japan and the US. The draft delegated regulation was notified on [date after ISC] to the WTO/TBT, to ensure that no barrier to trade is introduced. An additional written consultation at expert level was launched in June 2010 and March 2011 on updated working documents for ecodesign and energy labelling measures for water heaters and hot water storage tanks, which build on the input/feedback provided during the earlier consultations of the Consultation Forum OJ L 153, , p.1. OJ L 285, , p. 10. Heaters are covered by a separate proposal. EN 4 EN

5 Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account In general an energy labelling scheme for heaters is well supported by stakeholders and Member States. The positions of main stakeholders on crucial features of the Commission proposal can be summarised as follows: Product scope The products to be covered are conventional water heaters, heat pump water heaters and solar water heaters with a rated heat output 400 kw, hot water storage tanks with a storage volume litres and packages of water heater and solar-only system. The water heaters are able to use electricity and fuel, including from biomass to some extent to not exclude unintentionally water heaters capable to combust biomass. A solar water heater is placed on the market as one unit, with integrated solar collectors, storage tanks, heat generators and other parts. Solar water heaters have typically about two collectors and are widely used in Southern Europe. On the other hand, solar-only systems are typically larger systems consisting of a number of solar collectors, storage tanks, solar pumps and other products. Product label The product label for water heaters and hot water storage tanks is in general accepted by Member States and stakeholders. Consumer organisations requested to keep the labels simple for end-users and insisted to show the sound power levels of water heaters on the energy labels. Several Member States and stakeholders requested to remove the efficiency in % from the label as test conditions are different between heaters but to keep the efficiency in % on the fiche. Furthermore, the electricity consumption should be indicated in final energy (kwh/year) and the fuel consumption in GJ/year, corresponding to what most end-users see on their energy bills, and the letters of the tapping profiles should be replaced by typical usages, for example number of daily showers and baths. Several Member States remarked that water heaters are nowadays able to work only at off-peak hours, not only during night hours so that end-users can benefit from lower tariffs. The layout of the label was modified accordingly. Package label While the product label helps to provide standardised information to end-user for stand-alone water heaters the information on packages of water heaters combined with several solar products remains limited. To address this market barrier a package label is proposed. Several Member States and manufacturers requested to complement the proposed package fiche by a vertical label which should follow the usual product label design to allow better communication between dealer and end-user. The package label and fiches were supported by most Member States and stakeholders, although some Member States were of the view that the package fiche could also have been part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU. A disclaimer is therefore proposed to clarify that the efficiency of product packages are addressed in the package fiche. The energy efficiency of the hot water system is influenced by further factors such as heat EN 5 EN

6 losses in the distribution system and the dimensioning of the products in relation to the building size and characteristics. The dealer responsibility is limited to a straightforward calculation based on product fiches received from suppliers of water heaters and solar-only systems. To support dealers, mainly SMEs, the Commission services will make available templates and guidelines for dealers on the Commission's energy labelling website 9. Suppliers of solar products were not in favour of the suggestion that suppliers of conventional water heaters place on the market bundled packages of water heaters and solar products. These manufacturers, mainly SMEs, feared undue competition. Moreover, some Member States were concerned that stand-alone conventional water heaters might not be labelled anymore by product labels if packages are placed on the market. Thus only the dealer should make available the filled-in package fiche, based on product fiches provided by the respective suppliers of water heaters and solar-only systems. The package label is introduced in line with the package label in the proposed delegated Regulation on energy labelling of space heaters, combination heaters, packages of space heater, temperature control and solar-only system and packages of combination heater, temperature control, solar-only system and passive flue heat recovery device, including the use of the same fiche for the water heating function of combination heaters. Energy labelling scales Regarding water heaters, the approach for a single energy efficiency grading based on primary energy consumption was in general accepted. This includes a single scale for all water heating technologies in the product and package label to create a level playing field between water heaters and to promote the single energy market. However, some Member States and stakeholders preferred technology and fuel specific scales. Stakeholders requested that all energy classes should be populated, so that the best conventional technology should be able to reach class A at maximum and provided evidence that the A and B class boundaries of water heaters providing medium to large tapping profiles should be increased due to new market developments. Member States and stakeholders accepted that the A + to A +++ classes could only be reached by water heaters using renewable energy sources. However, stakeholders suggested increasing the bandwidth of energy efficiency ranking bands implying the energy input of renewable energy sources to improve differentiation, in particular for water heaters using solar heat which can contribute up to approximately 70 % of the annual heat demand. It is therefore suggested to define energy efficiency classes 'better than A' such that the energy efficiency class A + /A ++ /A +++ correspond to a contribution of 35 %/50 %/60 % of renewable energy sources to the energy consumption with respect to energy efficiency class A (that is: the threshold between efficiency classes A and B level is divided by and 0.4, respectively). A RES contribution of 50 % and more can only be achieved by solar-only systems, consequently A ++ and A +++ classes are only used in the package label. Regarding hot water storage tanks, several Member States ands stakeholders remarked that the A class boundary was only allowing half as much standing loss as storage tanks in the C class and that superinsulated tanks will enter the market prior to the revision. The A and B 9 EN 6 EN

7 class boundary were therefore revised, and a class A + will be introduced three years after entry into force of the proposed Regulation. Timing The proposed timing of introducing the energy labelling in two stages one and three years after entry into force of the proposed Regulation is accepted, in particular as the energy labelling timing is aligned with the ecodesign timing. A stakeholder requested to allow the voluntary use of the label directly after entry into force of the proposed Regulation. Such a voluntary use of the label is allowed for other revised energy labels. However, the water heater label will be newly introduced in the European Union, and all suppliers and dealers should be given a level playing field and the necessary lead time to introduce the energy label in the market at the same time. Testing and calculation methods Some stakeholders remarked that the symbol of frequency weighted sound power level L WA is db. The draft delegated Regulation takes the comments from stakeholders and Member States into account. Collection and use of expertise Input from scientific expertise External expertise was mainly gathered through the preparatory study providing a technical, environmental and economic analysis, which was carried out by a consortium of external consultants on behalf of the Commission's Directorate General for Energy. Main organisations/experts consulted The preparatory study was conducted in an open process, taking into account input from relevant stakeholders including manufacturers, installers, retailers and their associations, environmental NGOs, consumer organisations, EU/EEA Member State experts and experts from third countries. Summary of advice received and used No potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences were mentioned. Impact assessment An impact assessment of the possible policy measures is carried out pursuant to Article 15(4)(b) of Directive 2009/125/EC. Several policy options for achieving a market transformation realising the appropriate level of ambition were considered, including the business-as-usual case, self-regulation, energy labelling only, ecodesign regulation only, a combination of the latter two, and requirements on hot water systems set under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive only. However, due to the clear mandate of the Legislator for establishing ecodesign requirements and energy labelling for water heaters and heaters, the depth of the analysis for other options EN 7 EN

8 is proportionate for an implementing legal act, and the focus is on the assessment of the proposed implementing regulations. The impacts of policy scenarios with the establishment of energy labels were assessed against the business as usual scenario. Based on assessment of costs and benefits a combination of ecodesign requirements, labelling and energy performance of buildings were identified as the preferred option to solve the problem of the market failure for the take-up of water heaters and hot water storage tanks with improved environmental performance, as it optimally fulfils the requirements of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directives. Consequently, the option composed of the adoption of ecodesign requirements together with introduction of a product and package labelling scheme was chosen, as it delivers most savings and is also preferred by stakeholders. It will ensure that: ongoing energy improvements are maintained and fostered by providing standardised information to end-users and removing market barriers due to asymmetrical information and split incentives; a dynamic market transformation towards high efficient water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heaters combined with renewable energy technologies takes place; fair competition and product differentiation continue to operate on energy improvements; the cost-effective level of energy consumption is reached; the competitiveness of the industry is supported through the expansion of the EU internal market for sustainable products; the burdens on suppliers including SMEs are not excessive, as the transition periods take redesign cycles into account; there is no negative impact on employment in the EU. 3. LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT Summary of the proposed action The proposed measure sets out new mandatory labelling and standard product information requirements for suppliers placing on the market and/or putting into service water heaters, hot water storage tanks or solar-only systems (consisting of solar collector, solar tank and other solar products placed on the market separately), and for dealers offering stand-alone water heaters and packages of water heaters and solar-only systems. The scope of the measure is aligned with the scope of a possible ecodesign implementing measure setting requirements for energy efficiency, sound power level and nitrogen oxides emissions on water heaters and hot water storage tanks. EN 8 EN

9 The energy efficiency ranking of water heaters is based on the basic structure of Directive 2010/30/EU in defining an efficiency scale for water heating, covering conventional water heaters, smaller solar water heaters and heat pumps and their packages with larger solar-only systems. One year after entry into force of the delegated Regulation, a scale from G to A for conventional water heaters is applied (G-C for storage water heaters, C-A for instantaneous water heaters), whereas actual solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters are not sufficiently efficient yet to reach classes beyond A. Three years after the entry into force of the delegated Regulation, a further class A + will be added on top of the labelling scale to encourage the development of more efficient solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters. On the other hand, classes A ++ and A +++ can only be reached by packages with large solaronly systems. This will ensure a dynamic market transformation toward high efficient heaters using new and renewable technologies. For hot water storage tanks an efficiency scale G-A is applied from one year after entry into force of the delegated Regulation. Three years after the entry into force, a further class A + will be added on top of the labelling scale to encourage the development of superinsulated storage tanks. Furthermore, the product label shows the sound power level to end-users and standardised product information is introduced for water heaters and hot water storage tanks, such as product fiche and technical documentation, and requirements are specified for information to be provided in any form of distance selling, advertisements and technical promotional material of water heaters and hot water storage tanks. As water heaters might be sold in packages with large solar-only systems, a package label and a comprehensible fiche calculation is introduced to provide information on the overall efficiency of the package of products to the end-user. The package label is based on the single efficiency scale for water heating with classes from G to A +++, reflecting possible higher energy efficiency of such packages. The proposed product and package labels and standardised product information facilitate to overcome the market barrier of asymmetrical information to persons buying water heaters and hot water storage tanks and of split incentives for building owners and tenants. Measurement methods and the verification procedure for market surveillance purposes used in this delegated Regulation is fully aligned with those in any possible ecodesign implementing measure. Legal basis The draft delegated Regulation implements Directive 2010/30/EU, and in particular Article 10 thereof. Subsidiarity principle The draft delegated Regulation implements Directive 2010/30/EU in line with Article 10. Proportionality principle In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this measure does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objective. EN 9 EN

10 The form of the implementing measure is a delegated Regulation which is directly applicable in all Member States. This ensures that national and EU administrations will not incur any costs for transposition of the implementing legislation into national legislation. Choice of instrument Proposed instrument: delegated Regulation. Budgetary implication The proposal has no implication for the EU budget. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Review/revision/sunset clause The draft includes a revision clause. European Economic Area The proposed act concerns an EEA matter and should therefore extend to the European Economic Area. EN 10 EN

11 THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products 10, and in particular Article 10 thereof, Whereas: (1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products representing significant potential for energy savings and having a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality. (2) The energy consumed by water heaters and hot water storage tanks accounts for a significant share of the energy demand in the European Union, and water heaters and hot water storage tanks with equivalent functionality have a wide disparity in terms of energy efficiency and standing loss. The scope for reducing the energy consumption of water heaters and hot water storage tanks is significant, including by combining water heaters with appropriate solar-only systems. Water heaters, hot water storage tanks and packages of water heaters and solar-only systems should therefore be covered by requirements on energy labelling. (3) Harmonised provisions for indicating the energy efficiency of water heaters and hot water storage tanks by labelling and standard product information should be established to provide incentives for manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of these products, to encourage end-users to purchase energy-efficient products and to contribute to the functioning of the internal market. (4) Corresponding to significant energy and cost savings for each type of water heater and for hot water storage tanks, this Regulation should introduce a new single A-G labelling scale for conventional water heaters, solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters and for hot water storage tanks. A dynamic class A + should be added to the classification after two years to accelerate the market penetration of most efficient water heaters and hot water storage tanks. (5) Furthermore, this Regulation should ensure that consumers get more accurate comparative information about the performance of solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters in three European climate zones. (6) The sound power level of a water heater could be an important aspect for end-users. Information on sound power levels should be included on the labels of water heaters, to enable them to make an informed decision. 10 OJ L 153, , p. 1. EN 11 EN

12 (7) This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content of the product labels for water heaters and hot water storage tanks. (8) In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the product fiche and technical documentation for water heaters and hot water storage tanks. (9) Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the information to be provided for any form of distance selling, advertisements and technical promotional material of water heaters and hot water storage tanks. (10) In addition to the product labels and fiches for water heaters and hot water storage tanks laid down in this Regulation, a package label and fiche based on product fiches from suppliers should ensure the wide availability and easy accessibility of information on the energy performance of water heaters in combination with solaronly systems. The most efficient class A +++ may be reached by such a package from the beginning. (11) The combined effect of the provisions set out in this Regulation and Commission Regulation (EU) No / of implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for water heaters and hot water storage tanks 11 is expected to result in estimated annual energy savings of about 450 PJ (11 Mtoe), corresponding to about 26 Mt CO2 emissions in 2020, compared to the situation if no measures are taken. (12) The information provided on the labels should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement and calculation procedures that take into account the recognised state-of-the-art measurement and calculation methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation bodies, as listed in Annex I to Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services 12. (13) It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress. HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Chapter 1 Subject matter and scope 1.
