Information website on saving energy
The Austrian topprodukte.at website, fostered by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, presents comprehensive guides, tools, and information on saving energy at home.
It enables Austrians to compare options and products based on energy efficiency. It offers both citizens and businesses more transparency thanks to a large range of information and explanations on:
- domestic appliances (refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and extractor hoods),
- TV and IT,
