Showers, taps, and windows will be given an energy efficiency rating under new European Union legislation.
Energy wasting household products will be targetted under the new laws, which will extend current legislation on energy-using goods to cover products that have an indirect effect on power consumption.
Water using products are being targetted because wasted hot water uses excess gas, whilst poorly constructed windows can allow heat to escape.
The most wasteful products will be banned.
In related news, the European Parliament last week voted to tighten buildings standards that require new buildings to generate electricity onside.
New shops, offices and homes built in the EU are set to be ‘zero carbon’ from 2019.
