Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Warm Air Furnaces 
Abstract:

EPCA, as amended by AEMTCA, requires the Secretary to determine whether updating the statutory energy conservation standards for commercial warm air furnaces is technically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy.  If justified, the Secretary will issue amended energy conservation standards for this type of equipment. On April 1, 2015, DOE published a notice announcing the creation of a working group under the Appliance Standards Federal Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ASRAC). (80 FR 17363) to potentially develop negotiated standards.  DOE has since published a direct final rule and supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking that embodies the standards-related aspects of the recommendations submitted to (and approved by) ASRAC.
