1904-AD20 201504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1904 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EE 1900 Department of Energy DOE Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Non-Weatherized Gas Furnaces

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential furnaces. EPCA also requires the DOE to periodically determine whether more-stringent amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy. DOE is amending its energy conservation standards for residential non-weatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces in partial fulfillment of a court-ordered remand of DOE's 2011 rulemaking for these products.
