Eurovent has recently received the results of the market analysis based on sales for 2023-2024 and is currently evaluating them. Therefore, detailed feedback and comments will be presented as soon as possible, together with an appropriate analysis of the EPREL results. The feedback prepared after the first stakeholder meeting on 20 March 2025 (PP-2025-04-16) is published in the attachment.
Two main inputs: A study by the Institute of Energy Systems and Fluid Engineering IEFE at the ZHAW on behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) and the Swiss Association for Refrigeration Technology (SVK). It makes an energetic comparison of plug-in and central refrigerated cabinets in supermarkets, and should be quite useful for the review.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
