Immergas Heat Pumps: AUDAX TOP, MAGIS PRO, and RAPAX ErP
Clean, safe energy for heating and cooling.
Introduction to Heat Pumps and Environmental Regulations
Immergas heat pumps offer environmentally friendly solutions for housing and office building climatization, suitable for both summer and winter. The new Immergas range is designed for professionals seeking renewable-energy-powered solutions and integrated or hybrid systems to achieve high indoor living comfort while complying with new EU regulations.
Immergas provides a comprehensive range of solutions for heating, cooling (mono-bloc and split type air-to-water heat pumps), and domestic hot water production (heat pump water heaters).
Energy Label and ErP Regulations
The document highlights the importance of the European Union's Energy Related Products (ErP) directive (2009/125/CE) and the Energy Labelling Directive (ELD) (2010/30/CE). These directives aim to reduce pollution and improve the quality of life by setting minimum mandatory requirements for the efficiency and environmental performance of power-consuming devices.
The key targets for 2020 are:
- Increase energy efficiency by 20%.
- Reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by 20%.
- Raise the percentage of renewable energy in final consumption to 20%.
Key deadlines include mandatory fitting of energy-efficient circulators from August 1, 2015, and the enforcement of ErP and ELD Directives requiring energy labelling from September 26, 2015. The regulations are not retroactive.
