Heat supply for buildings is a significant and important part of global energy consumption. This sector is therefore structured by regulations, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or fossil fuel consumption. The regulations are motivated by international agreements, like the Paris Agreement or the UN Sustainable Development Goals and by strategic economic and ecological goals of the national governments. Eco labels or energy efficiency labels and declarations are key tools of these regulations.
