SFOE standard catalogue · Household Appliances · Version 2.0
The goal is to estimate the electricity savings triggered by replacing an old household appliance with a new, energy-efficient model. The measure covers various household appliances such as clothes dryers, washer-dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, fridge-freezers, freezers, chest freezers, wine coolers, extractor hoods and hobs.
Examples and Scenarios
Efficiency bonus per kWh2 Rp./kWh
A municipality promoted the replacement of 214 old dishwashers with energy-efficient models as part of an electricity savings program for residents

Requirements
Only measures that meet the requirements of the Energy Ordinance (SR 730.01; EnV) can be credited. The additional requirements for the technical characteristics and for the implementation of the measure are set out in Table 1.
| Energy efficiency | The new devices must have at least the following energy efficiency class / must not exceed the following energy consumption: |
|---|---|
| Tumble dryers | B |
| Multi-family-house tumble dryers > 4 kg/h | C |
| Washer-dryers* | C* |
| Dishwashers | B |
| Refrigerators and fridge-freezers | D |
| Chest freezers | D |
| Upright freezers | C |
| Wine coolers | A |
| Range hoods | A+ |
| Cooktops | Energieverbrauch < 178 Wh/kg |
* Energy efficiency class for both the complete operating cycle (washing and drying) and the washing cycle
Proof of compliance
Compliance with the requirements must be demonstrated by the following documents. The documents listed in Table 2 are an integral part of the proof of measure implementation.
| Symbol | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
E | annual electricity consumption | kWh/a |
ΔEeco | cumulative electricity savings | kWh |
f | Factor | — |
Ns | Standard effective duration | a |
Ealt | annual electricity consumption of the old state | kWh/a |
Eneu | annual electricity consumption of the new state | kWh/a |
feco | Reduction factor (0.75) | — |
Creditable Electricity Savings
The creditable electricity savings result from the difference between the old and new annual electricity consumption, multiplied by the reduction factor (0.75) and the standard effective duration. The reduction factor accounts for the natural renewal and optimization rate.
