Campaign aims to clarify concepts on the energy label
The Swedish Energy Agency's regular consumer surveys show that many people are aware of the energy label and the different energy classes, but find it difficult to read and understand the rest of the label. Therefore, the Swedish Energy Agency is now launching a campaign to increase consumer knowledge.
Many consumers are familiar with the energy label and the different energy classes, but few know what all the terms and symbols on the label mean. To clarify this, the Swedish Energy Agency is running an information campaign. The campaign focuses on the products that received new energy labels in 2021 with the aim of informing consumers about the importance of thinking long-term when making new purchases and choosing an efficient product.
In connection with the campaign, the following is also being launched: Product calculation, a tool for comparing products and making more conscious and informed choices. Among the products that can now be compared are dishwashers, washing machines and combined washer-dryers, refrigerators and freezers and wine coolers. You can search by brand or product name or by scanning the QR code on the label. There is also a calculation model to see if a cheap model is really cheaper by analyzing product data and calculating the operating cost.
