Abstract
Abstract The household sector has a significant role in the consumption of energy resources and related emissions. The household sector is responsible for around 1/3 of the total energy resource consumption in Latvia. This study aims to determine the level of control measures regarding household boilers by summarising the existing information on legislation and quality labels regulating the efficiency and emissions of household boilers in the EU. The focus is on PM emissions and small-scale heating system regulations in Latvia. The study shows that small-scale biomass heating systems lack proper control measures to limit created emissions. The situation regarding PM emissions is the worst in Latvia, in comparison to the EU and 8 other studied countries.
期刊介绍：
Environmental and Climate Technologies provides a forum for information on innovation, research and development in the areas of environmental science, energy resources and processes, innovative technologies and energy efficiency. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts which cover the range from bioeconomy, sustainable technology development, life cycle analysis, eco-design, climate change mitigation, innovative solutions for pollution reduction to resilience, the energy efficiency of buildings, secure and sustainable energy supplies. The Journal ensures international publicity for original research and innovative work. A variety of themes are covered through a multi-disciplinary approach, one which integrates all aspects of environmental science: -Sustainability of technology development- Bioeconomy- Cleaner production, end of pipe production- Zero emission technologies- Eco-design- Life cycle analysis- Eco-efficiency- Environmental impact assessment- Environmental management systems- Resilience- Energy and carbon markets- Greenhouse gas emission reduction and climate technologies- Methodologies for the evaluation of sustainability- Renewable energy resources- Solar, wind, geothermal, hydro energy, biomass sources: algae, wood, straw, biogas, energetic plants and organic waste- Waste management- Quality of outdoor and indoor environment- Environmental monitoring and evaluation- Heat and power generation, including district heating and/or cooling- Energy efficiency.
