Value proposition

The Association of the European Heating Industry (EHI) represents and promotes the common interests of 39 market leaders producing thermal comfort equipment (such as heating systems, burners, boilers, heat pumps, micro CHP, components, radiators and renewable energy systems) and 14 national industrial associations from the EU Member States, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Today, EHI represents 90% of the European market for heat and hot water generation, heating controls and heat emitters, as well as 75% of the hydronic heat pump market. Our Members produce advanced technologies for heating in buildings, including surface heating and cooling. In doing so, we employ directly more than 120.000 people in Europe and invest more than half a billion euro a year in energy efficiency.

EHI was founded on 11 June 2002. It is the result of the merger of the former CEB (European Burner Committee), EBA (European Boiler Association), and AFECI (Association of European manufacturers of instantaneous gas water heaters and wall-hung boilers), whose history goes back into the 1960s.

EHI’s mission:

* To represent its members’ interests towards European, national and worldwide bodies relevant to the industry * To position EHI as key player to EU regulators, by advocating for a robust and workable legislative framework for the European heating industry
* To encourage the exchange of information and experience amongst its members, as well as co-operation with associations in similar fields
* To contribute to meeting the ambitious EU energy and climate goals, based on energy efficiency, sustainability, affordability and security.
* To promote efficient & environmentally friendly heating and hot water systems
