Overview
Energy Saving Recommended is a product certification scheme run by the Energy Saving Trust in the United Kingdom. It awards a recognisable logo to products that meet independently verified energy efficiency standards, making it easier for consumers, businesses, and construction professionals to identify high-performing options across a range of categories including appliances, heating systems, lighting, and insulation products.
The scheme is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers operating in the construction, technology, and energy sectors who want to demonstrate that their products meet credible efficiency benchmarks. To carry the Energy Saving Recommended logo, products must be tested and certified against set criteria, giving buyers a straightforward way to compare options without needing to interpret technical specifications themselves.
For anyone involved in specifying or purchasing products for UK buildings — whether in new construction or retrofit — the certification serves as a practical shorthand for energy performance. It also supports broader goals around reducing energy bills and lowering the environmental impact of buildings, making it a useful reference point for projects with sustainability requirements.
