efficiency
 With
the concern over the environment ever present the EC Directive
made it a regulation to put an energy rating on all air conditioning
products.
Energy
labelling is part of a wider European Climate Change program
that targets energy efficiency as one method of reducing CO2
emissions in order to meet the targets of the Kyoto protocol.
 The
majority of air conditioning systems we install are now 'A/A'
rated for both cooling and heating which offers the end-user
low energy consumption products. This goes a long way towards
reducing annual energy bills when compared to more conventional
heating methods.
All our
designs incorporate
A/A rated energy efficient systems where possible which also
bring tax savings through the ECA
Scheme.
This energy
label provides information on the energy consumption of a
unit, classified in seven different categories (A-G) with
A being the most efficient.
|
 Annual
energy consumption This
indicates the amount of energy consumed by the unit within
a year. The annual energy consumption is calculated by multiplying
the total power input by the average number of hours of usage
over a 12 month period. This figures is then multiplied by
your electricity tariff.
Cooling
output This is defined as the cooling capacity in kilowatts
(kW) of the appliance, operating in cooling mode at full load.
Heating
output This is defined as the heating capacity in kW of
the appliance, operating in heating mode at full load.
Energy
Efficiency Ratio (EER) This is the cooling output of the
unit divided by the amount of electricity the unit requires
to deliver it (total power input). Most manufacturers provide
an annual energy consumption based on a certain number of
hours of use i.e. 500 hrs per year at full load in cooling
mode. In order to calculate the cost of annual energy consumption
you simply multiply this figure by your electricity tariff.

project team and design engineers will advise you on the wide
range of products available which meet your requirements and
affordability.
