View Rule

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including circulator pumps. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically determine whether more-stringent, standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In the final rule, DOE adopted new energy conservation standards for circulator pumps. It has determined that the energy conservation standards for this equipment would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
