NE NE L27 1421 Austria 25 Energy Efficiency Measures in Buildings Single The national Eco-design Ordinance (‘Ökodesign-Verordnung 2007 – ODV 2007) set the legal basis for minimum standards for energy-related products. These ecodesign requirements are defined by several Commission Regulations (EU), such as for space heaters and combination heaters, water heaters and hot water storage tanks, solid fuel local space heaters, local space heaters and for solid fuel boilers. Energy labelling of space and water heating products and of other energy-using products helps consumers to compare products in terms of their energy consumption. The use of white goods of high-efficiency in exchange for old household appliances is promoted. Energy efficiency measures in buildings provided by the federal provinces include hydraulic balancing of the heat distribution, the optimization of technical building appliances, energy consulting and elaboration of renovation concepts. This PaM is reflected by assuming higher overall efficiency of new heating systems and to some extent lower CH4-emissions of new combustion technologies (if applicable ecodesign requirements are more stringent than national policy).
