The European Commission launched a consultation on the definition of the Primary Energy Factor. This factor indicates a reference value for the primary energy required per unit of final energy demand.

This calculation is relevant for different legislative pieces Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), Energy using products – Eco-design and Energy Labelling Directives (ED / EL), Energy performance of buildings Directive (EPBD).

We provide additional information on this process and the questions at stake in the following briefing (see also the annex).

We welcome your feedback until Friday, 1 July 2016.

Note: You can find information on ongoing consultations relevant for ESTIF members at the section "Open Process" in the members-only section of the ESTIF website.
