Follow on Google News | Newly re-elected ESTIF Board of Directors keen to carry on the good work towards market recoveryBy: ESTIF The Annual General Assembly reviewed the 2014 achievements, in what is believed to be a transition year. Some important measures were put in place to create a better framework for solar heating and cooling; promoting the important role of the sector in the future energy system, as a decentralised heat supply technology. “We strove to raise the sector‘s political profile, providing an active contribution and open cooperation with the European Commission; as is evidenced by the presence of Director Marie Donnelly from DG ENER at the ESTIF General Assembly”, said Robin Welling, President of ESTIF. He added: “We are pleased that, by re-electing all its members, the ESTIF membership expressed its confidence in the work of the outgoing Board of Directors. In her speech, Mrs Donnelly confirmed that decentralised heating and cooling is one of the main concerns of the European Commission, which is working on finding adequate funding opportunities for energy efficiency, including renewable heating and cooling. “Next year, the successful implementation of the Energy Labelling regulations will be the main challenge facing ESTIF and the whole solar thermal sector” said Pedro Dias, Secretary-General of ESTIF. These regulations represent a major change for the heating and cooling market and a great opportunity to seize, since solar thermal can play a vital part as system enhancer in the new “package label”. The elected ESTIF Board of Directors: Robin Welling, President, TiSUN GmbH; Lothar Breidenbach, BDH (Bundesindustrieverband Deutschland Haus-, Energie- und Umwelttechnik e.V.); Nigel Cotton, Chairman of the Advisory Council, European Copper Institute; Harald Drück, ITW, University of Stuttgart; Stephan Fintelmann, KBB Kollektorbau GmbH; Jörg Mayer, BSW (Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V.) and Jose-Antonio Pérez, BDR Thermea Group B.V. - ENDS - Press Contact: Pedro Dias Secretary General European Solar Thermal Industry Federation (ESTIF) Place du Champ de Mars 2 B-1050 Brussels Belgium Tel: +32 2 318 40 60 Email: pedro.dias@estif.org Website: www.estif.org End
