Minimum Energy Performance Standards for air conditioners
This standard applies to air conditioners that, according to the ISO 5151:1994 standard, are:
single phase
direct expansion of refrigerant gas
divided type or unit type
without distribution of air by ducts
up to a thermal power of 12 kW (42000 Btu/h)
condensed by air
Airconditioners cannot be sold by the manufacturer and/or importers in the Chilean market if they have a energy rating inferior to A, meaning that only air conditioners with an energy efficiency index (índice de eficiencia energética - IEE) superior to 3.20 will be allowed on the market. Concerning compact air conditioners, only… -

Air conditioners. Energy efficiency. STB 2480-2016
The standard establishes requirements for energy labelling and the provision of additional information on the energy efficiency of electrical air conditioners operating from the electrical network with a rated power = 12 kW for cooling and (or) heating. The standard does not apply to: household appliances that use non-electric power sources; air conditioners that do not use air for the heat transfer medium on the side of the condenser or the evaporator or on the side of

Brussels Integrated Air, Climate and Energy Plan
…Region Integrated Air, Climate and Energy Plan was adopted by the Brussels Government on 2 June 2016, during a special session of the Government dedicated to the climate. The plan proposes 64 measures and 144 actions that aim to enable the Brussels Region to reduce its emissions by 30% by 2025 (40%/capita), compared to 1990 levels.
The plan targets the most emitting sectors of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants (building, transport, consumption, etc.), encourages the production of renewable energy, and also aims at the integration of actions for cleaner air, climate change mitigation and adaptation and energy into all… -

FNEE/Aid Programme for energy efficiency in the railway sector
The purpose of this aid programme is to boost and promote the carrying out of actions in the railway sector which will reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, through the execution of energy saving and efficiency projects, contributing to achieving the objectives regarding the reducing of the final energy consumption established by Directive 2012/27/EU. For this purpose, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, through the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE), started up a specific programme of aid and financing initially provided with a maximum budget of € 13 million. The typologies of eligible actions were…

CLIMA projects/ Aid Programme for energy efficiency in the residential, non-ETS industrial and transport sectors
The Climate Projects of the Carbon Fund for a Sustainable Economy (FES-CO2) are Greenhouse Gas emission reduction programs developed in Spain, which were designed to lay out a path for the transformation of the Spanish productive system towards a low-carbon model. These Climate projects must be located in Spain and developed in the so-called "diffuse sectors" (that are not subject to the European emissions trading scheme) such as the transport, agricultural, residential, waste management sectors. The development of carbon sink projects is not covered by this scheme. The reductions in emissions attained through the FES-CO2 require…

…from compressed air production to heat production and life-cycle costs, as well as e-learning in the framework of a tool for the energy optimisation of compressed air systems. Since 2008 this measure has been an integral part of the "Energy Efficiency Initiative € umbrella campaign, more precisely the "Efficient Electricity Usage in Trade and Industry € section. The campaign has indirectly strengthened market penetration of energy-efficient compressed air systems and their components and companies have been increasingly sensitised to this issue. In addition, growth in demand has boosted the development of innovative energy-efficient compressed air systems…
