Introduction to the Ecodesign Directive
Vitramo heating appliances are suitable for transmitting heat
within an enclosed space in such a way as to achieve and
maintain a specific temperature level that is comfortable for
humans.
The appliances used for this type of room temperature
control have to have an eco-friendly design as laid down by
Directive 2009/125/EC and Regulation (EU) 2015/1188
(ecodesign). In order to comply with the Ecodesign Directive,
heating appliances need to achieve a certain seasonal space
heating energy efficiency.
The correction factors F(2) and F(3) make a positive
contribution to the seasonal space heating energy efficiency.
With correction factor F(2) only one option can be selected;
with correction factor F(3) several options can be selected.
Added together, the factors correct the seasonal space
heating energy efficiency of the respective devices.
