‘air conditioner’ means a device capable of cooling or heating, or both, indoor air, using a vapour compression cycle driven by an electric compressor, including air conditioners that provide additional functionalities such as dehumidification, air-purification, ventilation or supplemental air-heating by means of electric resistance heating and appliances that may use water (either condensate water that is formed on the evaporator side or externally added water) for evaporation on the condensor, provided that the device is also able to function without the use of additional w ...[+++]ater, using air only.

High intensity discharge lamps: lamps in which the light is produced, directly or indirectly, by an electric discharge through a gas, a metal vapour or a mixture of several gases and vapours, and in which the light-producing arc is stabilised by wall temperature and the arc has a bulb wall loading in excess of 3 watts per square centimetre.

For electricity: the sum of the net electrical energy production supplied by all power stations within the country, reduced by the amount used simultaneously for heat pumps, electrically powered steam boilers, pumping and reduced or increased by exports to or imports from abroad.

Used for electric powered steam boilers
