European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA)

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA), representing the infrared heating manufacturers in Europe, welcomes the opportunity to share its feedback on the proposed revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Achieving the 55 % emissions reduction targets by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050 require ambitious policies to bring change in the EU energy system.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) welcomes the Commission’s ambition to achieve zero-emission buildings (ZEBs) by 2050. We strongly believe that local space heaters (LSH), especially infrared heaters, can contribute to these objectives as a result of their characteristics and relatively easy installation.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) supports the need to keep legislation updated and in line with the latest technological developments. In that light, we appreciate the European Commission’s proposals for an Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA), representing the infrared heating manufacturers in Europe, welcomes the opportunity to share its feedback on the proposed revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). Achieving the 55 % emissions reduction targets by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050 will require ambitious policies to bring change in the European energy system.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) welcomes the opportunity to contribute together with the Electric Underfloor Heating Alliance (EUHA) to the European Commission's consultation on the Electrification Action Plan. Our detailed position is provided in the attached document.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) appreciates the possibility to provide feedback to the European Commission's Sustainable Consumption of Goods Initiative (SCGI). Nonetheless, the EIHA would like to raise some concerns and offer recommendations in order to optimise the efficiency of the SCGI in relation to other policies that are also addressing material efficiency and sustainability.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) welcomes the opportunity to contribute together with the Electric Underfloor Heating Alliance (EUHA) to the European Commissions consultation on the upcoming Heating and Cooling Strategy. Our detailed position is provided in the attached document.

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA) welcomes the European Commission’s revision of ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for local space heaters (LSH) in order to align them with the latest technological and market developments. We are a supporter of the Commission’s ecodesign and energy labelling framework, as it provides energy savings and contributes to achieving Europe’s climate objectives.

Energy-efficient product legislation simplification – Call for evidence – Omnibus The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA), representing 52 members across six European countries, welcomes the Commission’s initiative to simplify energyefficient product legislation. We support the objective of reducing unnecessary administrative burdens while preserving consumer trust and ensuring effective market surveillance.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)

The European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA), representing the European manufacturers of infrared heating, supports the review of energy labelling policies in line with technological and market developments. As such, we are strongly opposed to the proposed merger of energy labelling scales under ENER Lots 10 (air-to-air heat pumps, air conditioners, and comfort fans) and 20 (local space heaters).
