# Commission Decision of 19 November 2008 establishing detailed guidelines for the implementation and application of Annex II to Directive 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2008) 7294) (Text with EEA relevance) (2008/952/EC), Division 5.7

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Examples of heat other than useful heat are the following: heat rejected to the environment without any beneficial use; heat lost from chimneys or exhausts; heat rejected in equipment such as condensers or heat-dump radiators; heat used internally for de-aeration, condensate heating, make-up water and boiler feed-water heating used in the operation of boilers within the boundaries of the cogeneration unit, such as heat recovery boilers. The heat content of the returned condensate to the cogeneration plant (e.g. after being used for district heating or in an industrial process) is not considered as useful heat and may be subtracted from the heat flow associated with the steam production in line with practice in the United Kingdom.
