European Efficiency Schemes for Domestic Gas Boilers: Estimation of Savings in Heating of Settlements

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article aims to evaluate the seasonal efficiency of natural gas boilers used in European households, highlighting the cost effectiveness, environmental benefits, and user comfort associated with higher-efficiency models, particularly those based on condensing technology. The study applies a standardized algorithm used in European energy labeling schemes to calculate the seasonal efficiency of household gas boilers. It further includes a comparative analysis of selected boiler models available on the Serbian market and outlines a step-by-step method for estimating gas savings when replacing older, less efficient boilers with modern units. Condensing boilers demonstrate significantly higher seasonal efficiency than standard models by recovering additional heat from exhaust gases. These improved boilers produce lower greenhouse gas emissions and offer annual fuel savings of approximately 10% to 30%, depending on the boiler&apos;s age, system design, and usage patterns. The results also confirm the direct correlation between seasonal efficiency and annual fuel consumption, validating the use of efficiency-based cost comparisons. The analysis focuses on residential gas boilers available in the Serbian market, although the models examined are commonly distributed across Europe. The findings highlight the important role of energy efficiency labels-based on a standardized algorithm-in guiding boiler selection, helping consumers and policymakers make informed decisions that promote energy savings and reduce environmental impact. This article contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of gas boiler efficiency by integrating algorithm-based evaluation with market data and user-centered considerations. It offers actionable insights for consumers, energy advisors, and policymakers in the context of Europe&apos;s energy transition. Verifying the efficiency calculations of gas boilers requires a careful combination of theoretical methods, measured data, and adherence to standards.
