# Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 of 30 November 2016 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, with regard to ecodesign requirements for air heating products, cooling products, high temperature process chillers and fan coil units (Text with EEA relevance), Annex V: Benchmarks

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

At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for air heating products and cooling products in terms of seasonal space heating energy efficiency, seasonal space cooling energy efficiency or seasonal energy performance ratio, and emissions of nitrogen oxides was identified as follows:
1.. Benchmarks for seasonal space heating or cooling energy efficiency or air heating products and cooling products and seasonal energy performance ratio of high temperature process chillers are described in Table 30.

2.. Benchmarks for emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide:
(a) for warm air heaters using gaseous fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 50 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV;
(b) for warm air heaters using liquid fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 120 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV;
(c) for external combustion heat pumps, comfort chillers and air conditioners using gaseous fuel, the best available products in the market have emissions below 50 mg/kWh fuel input in terms of GCV.
3.. The benchmarks specified in points 1 and 2 do not necessarily imply that a combination of these values is achievable for a single product.
