Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation The installation and operation of electric heat pumps complies with both of the following criteria: (a) refrigerant threshold: Global Warming Potential does not exceed 675; (b) energy efficiency requirements laid down in the implementing regulations ( 188 ) under Directive 2009/125/EC are met. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix B to this Annex. (4) Transition to a circular economy The activity assesses availability of and, where feasible, uses equipment and components of high durability and recyclability and that are easy to dismantle and refurbish. A waste management plan is in place and ensures maximal reuse, remanu­ facturing or recycling at end of life, including through contractual agreements with waste management partners, reflection in financial projections or official project documentation. (5) Pollution prevention and control For air to air heat pumps with rated capacity of 12 kW or below, indoor and outdoor sound power levels are below the threshold set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2012 ( 189 ). (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems N/A
