Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps 
Abstract: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, establishes initial energy-efficiency standard levels for most types of major residential appliances and generally requires DOE to undergo two subsequent rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether the extant standard for a covered product should be amended. ^PThis is the initial review of the statutory standards for central air conditioners and heat pumps. ^PThe efficiency standards rulemakings have been categorized as high, medium, and low priority. These are medium priority products. The Department plans to use limited resources to the greatest extent possible to initiate the rulemaking, such as conducting initial analyses or possibly conducting a screening workshop.
