How Do the Energy Efficiency Standards Differ Between the USA Underfloor Heating Mat and Europe Underfloor Heating Mat

There are significant differences in energy efficiency standards between American underfloor heating mats and European underfloor heating mats.


American underfloor heating mats typically follow the EnergyGuide labeling system, which requires manufacturers to provide the estimated annual energy consumption value of the product. This helps consumers understand the energy efficiency level of the product, but it does not adopt a clear A to G grading system like in Europe.


On the other hand, European underfloor heating mats follow the EU energy labeling system. This system not only requires manufacturers to provide information on the energy consumption and energy efficiency grade of the product but also clearly categorizes them into seven energy efficiency levels, from A to G. Grade A indicates the highest energy efficiency, while Grade G indicates the lowest. Additionally, Europe generally has stricter energy efficiency requirements, especially for products with higher energy efficiency grades. Manufacturers are required to ensure that products meet the EU's energy efficiency standards and to select the appropriate grade label based on the actual energy efficiency level of the product.
