Replacement of Household Appliances

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.

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 efficiencyThe new devices must have at least the following energy efficiency class / must not exceed the following energy consumption:
Tumble dryersB
Multi-family-house tumble dryers > 4 kg/hC
Washer-dryers*C*
DishwashersB
Refrigerators and fridge-freezersD
Chest freezersD
Upright freezersC
Wine coolersA
Range hoodsA+
CooktopsEnergieverbrauch < 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.

Calculation Formulas

Creditable Electricity Savings

ΔEeco = (Eold - Enew) × feco × Ns

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.

Part of the EFFEL programme

Standardised measures are one of two measure types in the EFFEL programme (efficiency improvements by electricity suppliers, Art. 46b EnG). They follow a predefined SFOE catalogue with fixed savings values.
