Abstract: Ecodesign means incorporating environmental aspects into the design of an energy-using product to improve its environmental performance throughout its entire life cycle. New regulations are in force in Poland regarding ecodesign requirements for local space heaters. These devices, intended for commercial use, include luminous and tube infrared gas heaters. Five key changes introduced under the new regulation and their implications for decarbonization are discussed. Some types of heaters previously available on the market have had to be withdrawn from manufacturers’ offerings because they do not meet current ecodesign requirements. It is estimated that the measures envisaged under ecodesign could result in energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 7.5% for gas heaters.
