        2nd National Energy Efficiency Target Programme

        In Estonia, municipalities are responsible for the operation and development of local energy utilities providing heat supply. Although the district heating utilities have been privatised in many cases, a number of utilities are still under the control of municipalities, as their economic performance is not good due to poor consumer purchase power and low efficiency of the district heating systems. Every year the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications carries out an open call and evaluation of proposals, where municipalities are eligible to present the proposals on increasing the efficiency in their facilities or district heating. These projects might foresee…

        NOM-003-ENER-2000: Thermal efficiency of water heaters for domestic and commercial use. Limits, testing method and labeling

        This standard applies to water heaters for domestic and commercial use using L.P. gas or natural gas that produces only hot water. Likewise, it applies only to the following types of heaters: (1) storage; (2) rapid recovery; and (3) instantaneous ; and heaters with maximum thermal loads of 35 kW for domestic heaters and thermal loads of 35 to 108 kW in commercial heaters.The standard establishes the thermal efficiency that the heaters must achieve based on the lower calorific power as well as the temperature of the hot water. See the attachment for the minimum thermal efficiency levels.The…
