Insultation with EPP: benefits in heat recovery

How EPP reduces Energy Consumption in HVAC systems

Energy efficiency is a priority for the European Union. To achieve this, a wide range of measures are being developed, from the promotion of renewable energies, to measures closer to the citizen, such as reducing the energy consumption in HVAC products or improving the energy efficiency of products (Regulation (EU) 2017/1369). The latter is achieved
