Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 ANNEX V

ANNEX VSupplementary provisions

ANNEX V Benchmarks At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for air heating products and cooling products in terms of seasonal space heating energy efficiency, seasonal space cooling energy efficiency or seasonal energy performance ratio, and emissions of nitrogen oxides was identified as follows: 1. Benchmarks for seasonal space heating or cooling energy efficiency or air heating products and cooling products and seasonal energy performance ratio of high temperature process chillers are described in Table 30. Table 30 Benchmarks for seasonal space heating or cooling energy efficiency of air heating products and cooling products and seasonal energy performance ratio for high temperature process chillers Warm air heaters Using gaseous or liquid fuels 84 % Using electricity 33 % Comfort chillers Air-to-water, P rated,c < 200 kW 209 % Air-to-water, P rated,c ≥ 200 kW 225 % Water/brine-to-water, P rated,c < 200 kW 272 % Water/brine-to-water, P rated,c ≥ 200 kW 352 % Air conditioners Electric, air-to-air air conditioner 257 % Heat pumps Electric, air-to-air heat pump 177 % High temperature process chillers Air-cooled, P A < 200 kW 6,5 SEPR Air-cooled, 200 kW ≤ P A < 400 kW 8,0 SEPR Air-cooled, P A ≥ 400 kW 8,0 SEPR Water-cooled, P A < 200 kW 8,5 SEPR Water-cooled, 200 kW ≤ P A < 400 kW 12,5 SEPR Water-cooled, 400 kW ≤ P A < 1 000 kW 12,5 SEPR Water-cooled, P A ≥ 1 000 kW 13,0 SEPR 2. Benchmarks for emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide: (a) for warm air heaters using gaseous fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 50 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV ; (b) for warm air heaters using liquid fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 120 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV ; (c) for external combustion heat pumps, comfort chillers and air conditioners using gaseous fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 50 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV . 3. The benchmarks specified in points 1 and 2 do not necessarily imply that a combination of these values is achievable for a single product.
