Ecodesign requirements
Ecodesign requirements for industrial fans are mandatory for all manufacturers and suppliers wishing to sell their products in the EU. These requirements cover product information and efficiency.
Energy savings
By using more efficient industrial fans, Europe will save 28 TWh and avoid 11 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually by 2020. This is the equivalent of the total annual energy use of around 8 million homes.
The actual efficiency of a fan depends on its power requirement (high power fans are on average more efficient than low power fans) and type. By replacing a less efficient model with a highly efficient one, it is possible to save on average around 20% of its running costs during its lifetime (15 years).
