Eurovent has become a member of the Coalition for Energy Savings. Eurovent’s membership reflects the importance of energy efficiency principles for the HVACR sector and its role in the EU’s energy goals.
The Coalition for Energy Savings is a European non-for-profit association striving to make energy efficiency and energy savings the first consideration of energy policies. The Coalition advocates energy efficiency as the driving force towards a secure, competitive, sustainable and climate neutral European Union. The Coalition, which is a centre for expertise on energy efficiency, unites 26 members representing a wide variety of energy savings actors such as businesses, local authorities, energy agencies, energy communities and civil society organisations who gather knowledge and advice on energy savings policies.
Following Eurovent’s membership approval, Francesco Scuderi, Eurovent Secretary General mentioned: “The HVACR industry has an important contribution to make towards the EU’s climate and energy goals. We want to play a constructive role in that. Thanks to the Coalition for Energy Savings, we can team up with like-minded partners from civil society and other industries, to keep energy efficiency policies at the top of the list of political priorities.”
Ms Arianna Vitali Roscini, Secretary General at Coalition for Energy Savings stated: “We are delighted to welcome Eurovent at a crucial time when it is both essential to accelerate the implementation of the just revised EU energy efficiency framework and to showcase to the new EU institutions the benefits of saving energy for competitiveness, security and affordability.”
Energy efficiency brings multiple benefits to the environment, and economy, as well as to businesses and citizens. The revised Energy Efficiency Directive (EU/2023/1791) raises the EU’s ambition for energy efficiency and it establishes the ‘Energy Efficiency First’ principle as a fundamental principle of EU energy policy. The European Green Deal recognises that energy efficiency must be prioritised for the EU to become climate-neutral, while remaining competitive and ensuring that citizens benefit from the transition.
