Elektrische apparatuur in Nederlandse Huishoudens 1980-2020: Hoofdrapport [128 kB]

(December 2008)

Sinds 2005 kunnen vele energieverbruikende apparaten onderworpen worden aan Europese regelgeving betreffende hun minimale energie efficiency (Ecodesign Directive 2005/32/EC, herzien als 2009/125/EC). Om de effecten van deze regelgeving, en de samenhangende bestaande regeling op gebied van Energy Labelling (Energie-etikettering), te beschrijven, is in deze studie het verbruik van huishoudelijke elektrische apparaten berekend tot aan het jaar 2020 op basis van verwacht bezit, gebruik binnen huishoudens en de energie efficiency van apparaten volgens diverse scenario's. Het Hoofdrapport geeft de algemene conclusies en uitkomsten weer. De studie is in 2008 uitgevoerd in opdracht van SenterNovem (tegenwoordig AgentschapNL).
