How much energy will EuP save? (Directive Decoder)

How much energy will EuP save?

The Energy using Products (EuP) Directive will establish eco-design requirements aimed at reducing the overall environmental impact of strategically important energy using products (excluding means of transport).

The European Commission estimates that this measure alone could reduce European Union energy consumption by around 10%. An International Energy Agency (IEA) study on energy savings in California attributes 30% of all energy saved to product standards of the type envisaged in EuP.
