LATEST UPDATES
Technical Specifications and BIM Object files coming soon to the ETL
We’ll soon be adding the ability to upload and download Technical Specification and BIM Object files on newly listed products to the ETL.
Technical Specification files are useful to purchasers of energy efficient products. They provide detailed information alongside energy efficiency, such as dimensions, instructions and electrical data. Manufacturers will want to upload them as they’ll help purchasers to make buying decisions and can boost sales.
BIM Object files are used by architects and designers for including energy efficient products in building designs. These files will be free to download on the ETL.
We explore the benefits of Technical Specifications and BIM Object files on the ETL and advise how you can upload and download them in our article.
Wetherspoon’s pub cuts energy bill by over £9,000 per year
The Jack Fairman pub in Horley, Surrey, part of the Wetherspoon’s chain, has cut its kitchen ventilation energy use by 69% with a saving of £9,041 per year, after installing the CHEETAH DCKV Energy Control, a HVAC Building control listed on the ETL. These significant figures are down to a saving of 36,167 kWh and 8.1 tonnes of carbon per annum. Find out how this was achieved in our latest case study.
This March will see Futurebuild’s 20th anniversary. The event covers innovation in the build environment and sustainable futures, with a theme of ‘Impact.’ The ETL will be at stand J64 to connect with attendees, exhibitors and users of the scheme. We’re also looking forward to gaining knowledge from manufacturers and purchasers about their experience of the ETL. To find out more about the event, check out our event preview.
Government Open Consultation on raising standards in space heaters
In December 2024, the government announced an Open Consultation on space heating ecodesign and energy label legislation that aims to improve product standards. Proposals include updating ecodesign and energy label legislation, including providing more information and clearer labels to give consumers more clarity when purchasing. For more details on the consultation, how you can have your say and when it will close, head to our article.
Enlighted, a Siemens company, has added a new Micro Sensor, a first in the Building Lighting Controls category on the ETL and a first listing for the company as part of the government-backed energy efficiency scheme.
