| Title: ●Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Warm Air Furnaces | |
| Abstract: 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 commercial warm air furnaces (CWAF). EPCA also requires that every six years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) must consider amending its standards for specified types of commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating equipment in order to determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant additional amount of energy. Because DOE had not done a rulemaking for CWAF in the past 6 years, it was required to publish either: (1) a notice of determination that standards do not need to be amended, or (2) a notice of proposed rulemaking containing proposed standards for CWAF by December 31, 2013. DOE has tentatively concluded that there is sufficient record evidence to support more-stringent standards, so DOE plans to propose to amend the current energy conservation standards for certain CWAF. Once complete, this rulemaking will satisfy DOE's above-referenced statutory obligation. | |
