The "Energy Efficiency Labeling Management Measures" stipulates that from September 1st, all air-conditioning and refrigerator products produced and sold in China must be posted in a prominent position in the body of the "Chinese Energy Efficiency Label". The energy efficiency of various products must reach the state. Energy-saving level, otherwise it will be clear on August 27th, visiting the capital of the Henan provincial capital on the eve of the implementation of the "Energy Efficiency New Deal"
Energy efficiency label is not energy saving label
During the visit, the reporter found that most of the air-conditioner refrigerators have been labeled "China Energy Efficiency Label", but many promoters have described the "energy efficiency label" as "energy-saving label" when explaining the product, and indicated that it has this logo. The products represent energy-saving products. It is understood that, in accordance with the provisions of the National Energy Efficiency Labeling Management Regulations, energy efficiency labeling is only the bottom line of products in the market. It is necessary to distinguish the energy consumption status from the energy efficiency levels marked therein, and the products that reach level 1 and 2 are energy-saving products. The level 3 logo is a mid-range energy-consuming product, while the 4th and 5th grades are high-energy products. Experts recommend that consumers purchase Level 2 products, because Level 2 products can achieve energy-saving effects, and can achieve energy-saving purposes economically and reasonably.
Save electricity or save money
In an electrical chain store, consumer Mr. Li made it clear that “the price of energy-saving appliances is too highâ€. In Zhengzhou's several major electricity stores, the reporter can see through comparison that the price of energy-saving refrigerators is about 300 yuan higher than that of ordinary refrigerators, and the price of energy-saving air conditioners is 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan higher than ordinary air conditioners. The price of frequency conversion products that have always been energy-saving as a core function is generally high.
Mr. Li calculated an account: Under normal circumstances, an energy-saving air conditioner with an energy efficiency ratio of 2.6, its daily electricity consumption (12 hours per day) can save 3 kWh compared with ordinary air conditioners, and the cost is probably 1.5 yuan, 100 days a year, saving 150 yuan a year. The price difference between an ordinary air conditioner and an energy-saving air conditioner is about 800 yuan. In other words, energy-saving air conditioners must be used for more than five years, and the electricity savings can offset this difference.
Energy saving or not "not sure"
In addition to price barriers, whether energy-efficient home appliances can truly achieve "energy-saving" is also a level that affects consumers' purchasing psychology. “Power saving is of course a good thing, but energy-saving appliances can save energy and save much electricity, and they are not sure.†Ms. Liu said.
Taking the refrigerator as an example, the “energy efficiency label†only indicates the daily power consumption and the volume value, and the refrigerator energy saving measurement standard should be evaluated by the three elements of the refrigerator effective volume, freezing power and daily power consumption. Any one of these elements is energy-saving and is incomplete. This does not rule out, some manufacturers at the expense of refrigeration power, the energy consumption identification number is reduced, and then through propaganda means that consumers think that the product is energy-saving products. In the interview, the reporter found that the daily power consumption marked on the domestic brand refrigerator is generally lower than that of the foreign brand refrigerator, the lowest is 0.33 degrees, while the foreign brands are mostly at 0.5-0.7 degrees. The sales staff also told reporters that the data is actually the laboratory data that the manufacturer tested under the "no-load" state. The temperature and humidity are strictly controlled during the test, and it is impossible to control the environmental factors by household use.
Consumers’ “consumption doubtsâ€
In the current atmosphere of promoting energy conservation in the whole society, the promotion of energy-saving home appliances is becoming more and more attractive. However, a considerable number of consumers are asking for less energy-saving appliances.
Mr. Xu, the head of Henan Gome's Guangxu Department, said that for consumers, price is always a decisive factor compared to energy saving. "If you have to pay a higher cost to achieve energy-saving purposes, there is no practical significance." Mr. Xu believes that the consumption of energy-efficient home appliances still needs correct guidance, which takes time and process.
Energy-saving home appliances are the trend of home appliance development, and the state has also developed mandatory production standards. However, the production trend has to be transformed into a consumer trend. For manufacturing companies and sales companies, it is imperative to consider how to eliminate consumers' "consumption doubts" and strive to make energy-saving appliances cheap and good.
