What Is Minimum Energy Performance Standards? Since the 2000s, MEPS set energy efficiency standards for commercial appliances. Let's find out what they are all about and if they are really effective?
Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) mandate the minimal energy efficiency level for appliances and equipment before they can be utilized or sold commercially, contributing to increased energy efficiency. Additionally, since 2021, new buildings must align with nearly zero-energy standards, necessitating energy performance certificates upon sale or rent, along with inspection schemes for heating and air conditioning systems.
