question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2019 to Question 258965, how test conditions for domestic boilers differ from real world in situ conditions.
tabling member constituency	Stroud
tabling member printed	Dr David Drew
uin	266633
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>The test conditions in labs for domestic boilers assume steady state operation, weighted by full and part power measurements. The energy ratings given to boilers are therefore intended to provide a fair basis for comparison of the energy efficiency of different models. The wide variation in the energy efficiency of buildings that boilers are installed in and in user behaviours makes it difficult to consistently test boiler efficiency in real life conditions.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 25/06/2019 10:26:23 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
