AREA position paper on RES Directive

Dec. 21, 2009 – To assist the EC and member states in ensuring the successful transition of those aspects of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Directive 2009/28/EC, related to heat pumps, into national schemes by 2012 AREA has published a position paper concerning certification or equivalent qualification schemes for heat pump installers.

The RES Directive offers an enormous opportunity for carbon savings across Europe. An essential component of this effort is the correct installation of reliable heat pumps. The member companies of AREA’s national associations are in the best position to ensure that the Directive achieves its aims for heat pumps and wish to assist their countries to comply as fully as possible. The recommendations of the position paper form the first step in this industry’s contribution to that intent.
