On 17 December 2024, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) announced a new consultation on space heating ecodesign and energy label legislation that aims to improve product standards.

We are pleased to announce there’s a brand-new feature being added to the ETL soon. Users, including purchasers, manufacturers, designers and architects, will be able to benefit from downloading Technical Specifications and BIM Object files.

As we wrap up a record year for the ETL, we're excited to highlight the strides we've made in expanding our offerings, improving accessibility, and fostering innovation across the energy efficient technology sector.

The ETL has actively engaged with the energy efficiency community, fostering new collaborations, and attending key events to promote sustainable technology. Here’s a comprehensive roundup of our activities, events, and partnerships throughout 2024, alongside a look at what lies ahead.

Discover the ETL’s impact on lighting efficiency. Insights from the ETL and Sophie Parry on the transition to sustainable lighting solutions.

Streamline your ETL application. Benefit from expert tips to navigate the portal, meet requirements, and boost your energy-efficient product’s visibility.

The 2024 Baxi Installer Skills Survey event, held on September 24th at the Baxi Solutions Academy, focused on discussing the UK's transition to cleaner, more sustainable heating solutions. The ETL had the pleasure of being invited to attend the event, and hear more about heat pump solutions across the UK.

There is a growing demand and interest in cooling technologies to deliver both performance and energy efficiency. Among the best solutions are evaporative air coolers, which use water evaporation to cool air, offering an energy-efficient alternative to refrigeration-based cooling systems.

The ETL has recently undergone significant updates, incorporating new Uniclass codes to better classify energy-efficient products and technologies. This development is a result of ongoing collaboration between the ETL and Uniclass, a widely recognised classification system used across the construction and built environment sectors.

This article, the second in our series, further explores how BIM principles and methods correspond with the goals of the ETL. It examines the synergy between BIM, which enables collaborative decisions during a building’s lifecycle, and the ETL, emphasising their combined effect on improving energy efficiency in buildings.

Whether you're looking to list new products, benefit from recent advancements, or simply understand how to maximise your ETL experience - here’s a rundown of everything you need to know.

The main purpose of the Research Programme is to benchmark the market to ensure the ETL criteria still fulfill the aim of covering the top 25% of the market, thereby achieving the scheme’s aim. Additionally, the Research Programme can include new technologies for inclusion in the scheme.
